Not bad, but.... I feel that something is missing to the song. Voice is very good when whispers but when raises her voice, I notice some autotune again, but it is not a drama. Its ok.

If this song had been recorded accompanied by Richie backing vocals and his guitar touch, it would have been fantastic.

Hmm, not sure yet about that one. Has some nice moments, but would've preferred a change in key from the intro to the first verse, and the "It's a full time job" line feels a little strange. Also a solo would've fit the song nicely, and there's the similarity to Wicked Game that we already talked about...

Also why are the vocals in the chorus drenched in reverb? Yeah I know, probably because of his voice issues, but a little less would've done, too.

I think this song fits in perfectly with Teardrops to the sea. It's different that what we are used too and there are some nice moments. Pretty cool song TBH!

I didn't take the reverb due to voice issues, I think it stylistically fit the song.

Meh... boring stuff. His voice in the chorus sounds really strange.

Haha I pretty much would've guessed your comment word by word before opening the thread :D

I can not understand a thing, A teardrop to the Sea sounded fantastic vocally, everything was in place, was passion, there was no autotune or blur effects for the voice. What is happening with this production?

My guess at the lyrics (I only listened to the song at a very low volume, please correct/complete them):

Smoke that blow there's a fire in the sky
? horizon ? higher than I
Pressure's building up, sparks are gonna fly

I know where this is going when I look into your eyes (x2)

Sweet sweat rolling down the middle of your spine
Bodies move together perfect rhythm in time
Baby say my name, I'll write yours in the sky
Higher than a rocket on the 4th of July (x2)

It's good, it's good, it's good to be alive

It's a full time job
The work's never done
24/7 it's a labor of love
Everything I've got it's all about us
Baby this ain't working it's a labor of love (x2)

Only fools count treasure, and silver and gold
I don't want ? that this hands can't hold
If you need something done, put it on the list
If I need some sugar I'll get it from your lips (x2)

It's good, it's good, it's good to be alive

It's a full time job
The work's never done
24/7 it's a labor of love
Everything I've got it's all about us
Baby this ain't working it's a labor of love (x2)

The taste of your lips
Every night, every day
I know every curve but it's never the same
If love is a fire I'll go down in those flames

I wanna die in your arms hearing you say my name (x3)

It's a full time job
The work's never done
24/7 it's a labor of love
Everything I've got it's all about us
Baby this ain't working it's a labor of love

It's a full time job
The work's never done
24/7 it's a labor of love
Give everything I've got, I can't get enough
Baby this ain't working it's a labor of love (x2)

It's pretty boring that anything the band puts out just gets slagged off. We all like different things from songs but genuinely think people decide to hate the songs before even listening to them properly and in the context of a full album.

Which is strange as I really like lonely.
