Rabauw - Revel In Your Broken Heart
Description
Well here's another electropop song. I started this one in March 2007, took me a year to finish it, been working on it on the rare free moments.I started this one with a basic idea on which I put a few modulations, I wanted to see what the result would be of a musically rather simple track, combined with a (what I consider to be) strong structure. Quite satisfied with the result, an uptempo track. Not the ultimate hit of the universe of course, but I've come to like this song a lot.
The song speaks in a rather sarcastic way about people who use a period of mourning to engulf themselves in self-pity and sorrow, and how they would use the loss of someone close to them to put themselves in the spotlight as vulnerable beings, without even the slightest of efforts of trying to move on with their life.
I have to say that listening to kaoz/SOL19 has been a big inspiration to make a new electropop song.
All criticism welcome...!
-----------------------------------
The time has now come to
Put the pain aside, return to sunlight
I’m sure enough time has passed to mend your broken heart
Get on with your life, now all your tears have dried
We’ll help you revive the joy in your frozen heart
So what did you expect? That all the world would end?
I’m sure enough time has passed to mourn over the loss
Pull yourself together, put your head up straight
And give a new shot at luck at daybreak
The time has now come to put the pain aside...
Put the pain aside...
And through self-pity you just keep craving for our compassion
Abuse the loss of our friend as a means to get attention
In a deep dark alliance with your own fear
And there’s no comfort in what we tell in your left ear
Put the pain aside...

The lyrics are quite trippy to me, because i could take them personal for my lyrics are mostly speaking of mourning, self-pity and sorrow, but i don't have a need to abuse it to get in the spotlight. I just only feel the need to write lyrics when i have to get rid of a sad feeling. And in the meanwhile, i get on with my life, so you're right about the moral in your lyric.
I have also had some relations with people that play the victim so they can make you say or do certain things and in the end they suck you empty!
I like the song but maybe you should produce it a bit more 'rabauw'-alike with a little more 'distortings'. Just an opinion hé. And yes, put your voice louder!
PS. glad to have inspired you!

hmm yeah maybe the clean pop sound is something new for me...I actually didn't realize it myself until you guys pointed that out. I didn't really think about that, I just started working and this is what came out.
And yeah it's a challenge to keep trying new things.

When I saw this it was good to see you also try other genres. You are undoubtfully talented enough to create top-notchsongs and I can only encourage you to try other things out.
(I can tell, it's very funny/relieving to work on a metal song, put it aside for a week and work on your other ambient -, electronica - or folky tunes.)

Yes it's true, I try to broaden my list of genres, it ain't always easy to deliver quality, but the pursuit itself is as challenging.
