Boy Band

[TripleM]

Please let me know your thoughts on this mix.

Boy Band
You get a little nervous, but you sing along anyway
It doesn't really matter what anyone else has to say
You fiddle with the dials on your smart phone digital display
Then the song gets stuck in your head, and it won't go away
They're a waste of time
In someone elses mind
But to you they shine
You might as well be blind
To anyone who whines
That they're past their prime
At age 10 plus nine
Their hair's so awesomely fine

CHORUS
Yeah they're a boy band
You know you're a fan
You run and buy their record just as fast as you can
A cute front man
Is all you demand
You like all of your tunes spooned out of a can
They're blowing up yeah they're a boy band

They got a top end gear that has power to spare
And lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of product in their hair
You get a little self concious when you get swept up in the glare
So tape a smile to your face - keep up the vacuum stare
There's a condescension there in all of their faces
That you still ignore on a regular basis
Your dad said to listen to A Day at the Races
You pulled down a tune, but then you erased it

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Just like a siren
They come out firin'
You don't stop conspiring
'Cause you heard they're hiring
And you might just be a background dancer yet

You get a little nervous thinking 'bout what the cool kids say
But it all goes over... the minute that you hit play
Long as your phone has a battery life, nothing gets in the way
But you're stuck with sugar pop soul at the end of the day
You murder the lines
Yeah you did all the crimes
You do it every time
A mouth full of dimes
You paid up the fines
While you're sucking on limes
The party starts on time
It all eventually rhymes

CHORUS

Didn't hear anything in the mix that sounded bad.

On a production note, I wonder if it is a bit too dry? Maybe a small room to give it space.

Your skills are very clear on this mix. Nice.

Good song. I can't stick boy bands.
Posing in their haircuts instead of playing instruments.
Was there a bass in there?

 

[famous beagle]

Catchy tune, and nice performances. I agree with DM60 that it might be a tad on the dry side. Fun song.

Thanks everyone. There is a bass and there is reverb. I typically go light on both of those things - I know I'm in the minority as far as my personal taste goes on those things.

But I think the observations are fair and I maybe went a little too light.

I'll play with some levels on those things and post a remix.

Thanks again.
