Night Sky: Points for real brass. Otherwise fine.

Ahem. Woodwinds.

Just a little before I start. I'm new to this and am just a dad making music when my kid is asleep, so please take these reviews
with a grain of salt.

Welcome! Thanks for reviewing on your first time out!

A little late to the party with my reviews, but not too late. Thanks to all who have reviewed so far. I have more mix notes than I usually would, because I feel like I'm starting to develop a better ear for these sorts of things. But of course I could be wrong, and if so, sorry about that. Afraidy C...

Murder on the Greyhound - Night Sky Drove my greyhound blind in a blizzard Lonely souls sat quiet and shivered On the midnight route out of Toledo Got a man up front twirling his mustache A sleeper in the back behind a mask Twelve poor wretches staring into the dark If you got a score to settle or ...

Night Sky: I wasn't quite sure to make of this one, but I did learn something: I thought CRT was cathode ray tube, but turns out it's critical race theory. Pardon my ignorance, but could this be like a protest song sung at a MAGA rally? If so, I kind of like the subversion. Plus, the whistling is g...

In with a sweary lyric. If you can't be good be filthy.

Wow, I thought my take was angry.

@seemanski, ha, Paco has made the same observation about some of my other tunes. That’s a territory my instrumental parts tend to hang out in. No wah-wah rhythm guitar in this one, though.

Night Sky - Secret Society There was one thought that popped into my head randomly whilst walking and hearing that funky bass and keys which was this is sounds really sexy. The vocals get me past that and the brass section is awesome, I'm crap with recognising instruments but pretty sure was a sax ...

In, on time for once! I made a deal with myself that if I had lyrics by the end of Monday I would do a low-stress, minimal production during the first interregnum of SpinTunes. So it's straight up G&G (with spleen venting).

Secret Society - Night Sky I couldn’t sleep last night The moon was too bright Your dream made you smile It took me by surprise I wanted to stop time Help you stay there a while Will I ever know why Most nights you cry You're holding onto bad cards But you don’t have to be You're hidin' like you’re...

Letter to the Editor - Night Sky Oh Dean and his friends They found the real problem In America today Sometimes you gotta hold your tongue When them libs don’t wanna hear what you say Whoa even white guys lack immunity They’re bein’ shamed and shunned Gettin’ canceled each day In other news the red...

Thanks for the thoughtful reviews. I appreciate some of the longer-established song fighters kicking off reviews when there's been a bit of a drought of late. Here are my thoughts. Berkeley Social Scene - Pretty typically solid BSS offering, with good arrangement and nice guitar and synth leads thro...

One Minute Closer - Night Sky The snow poured over the alps Like a mother’s hand caressing her new baby’s scalp Pulled the glove from my right hand Risking my fingers in the hope you’d understand Your smooth hand slipped into mine As though we’d planned it - our breath danced before the dawn We sto...

Night Sky is in.

Congrats, Duncan!

Finally reviewing again after failing to write anything up on my last several fights. These are brief, but I'm happy to elaborate on anything. Adam Rabin : Nice. I like how you create a great creepy, dramatic atmosphere with some pretty simple instrumental parts. Well composed, nice vocal performanc...

Night Sky Dig: the vibe, the bass, the harmonies But: the drums need a bit of work. They’re really quiet and not-so real sounding. Might try a an obviously artificial cheesy 1980s Casio preset? — or try to get the drums more real. Vote? Yes! Thanks for the review and the vote. The drums are MIDI, b...

The lyrics for this song were based on the the myth of Daphne and Apollo. And "vanished twin" fit the story and the lyric better than "vanishing twin," so we took some license with that. Vanishing Twin - Night Sky Daphne in the sun Sang a song for no one But herself to enjoy Daph...

Night Sky is in, unfashionably late, with some extra special backing vocals and biographical lyrics drawn from mythology.

Brace Yourself - Night Sky The dancing light in your brown eyes Just about dazzled me blind When you whispered in my ear Lost my balance spilled my beer Baby brace yourself, I’m steady now Ain’t talking bout fine poetry Subtle lines mean nothing to me But those magic words you said Lit a fire in my...

Night Sky is running late with a little swinging crooner thing, but hopefully we'll get it together before the fight gets posted.

Tearing Up - Night Sky You got tales from yesterday yeah I don’t mind It’s ok if you leave them here Floating in the atmosphere They ain’t causing any harm Might set off a smoke alarm I am dancing now for thrills No one cares about your fire drills Understand I’m trying to be kind I’m tearing up th...
