Think I've got it . Basically had this song which feels like a slow vibe (6/8 62bpm) . It was too slow . Then did 68bpm and 71bpm. I think what I've learned here is that legato string phrases and long held vocal notes is what's forcing me to think it needs to be a slow song . In reality I think it wants to be a moderate tempo song with a slow vibe afforded by what's happening on top of the drum pattern . Now will re record at 74bpm which is probably it's natural limit . All this to say really that a song can be perceived in your mind as slower than a more moderate tempo actually needs it to be - and therefore you might be trying to make the whole thing too slow as you perceive it in your mind . I hope this helps someone . I wasted a lot of time getting to this realisation .
In other words don't necessarily make a song too slow just because it feels that way in it's vibe. If anything a moderate tempo drum pattern can offset the legato information above and prevent it dragging
