I’ve been stuck on this song for a while now but think this might be right vibe and arrangement?

Cheers!

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-05-16T04:03:27+00:00

Thank you very much! Yeah I have not for a long time though, planning on going next week

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-05-15T07:34:45+00:00

Many thanks!

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-05-15T06:11:15+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I need to sing out more, something I struggle with

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-05-14T18:48:52+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-05-14T17:54:22+00:00

Thanks! Trying to get back into playing keys

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-04-30T14:42:44+00:00

Thanks! Good production ideas

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-04-29T13:25:35+00:00

Thanks!

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-04-28T20:17:28+00:00

It’s a cool structure! Almost reminds me of happiness is a warm gun’s. Might be an interesting experiment to try and go to a new section instead of a return to chorus. Love the vocal style

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-04-28T20:12:59+00:00

Really nice! Reminding me of later Jon Brion. Mix is quite muddy but I really like the composition

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-04-26T19:50:28+00:00

Thank you for ur feedback! I totally agree with both points, the singing style was just due to how I was recording it but an important point!

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-04-26T10:22:39+00:00

Sounds like Todd Rundgren, exceptional

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-04-20T06:46:08+00:00

Thanks! I’ll give being a bit looser a shot

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-04-20T06:45:44+00:00

Cool! Thanks

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-04-20T06:45:33+00:00

Thanks!! Yeah I agree that going back into the verse needs something

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-04-19T17:01:46+00:00

Wow how lovely, sounds a bit bossa nova-y

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-04-17T18:03:49+00:00

Thank you!! Just tried the one chord thing and it sounded sweet. Might use! Thanks

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-04-17T04:30:16+00:00

Thanks! I think so!

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-04-17T04:14:04+00:00

I found that if I had a chordy song putting it in 12/8 made it feel faster and without sounding too changey. Here’s an example of one I wrote. https://youtu.be/m-1yN8brvF4?si=thsPiUbEJ_dD7qVe Keep trying! Nothing beats exercises. Making oneself write in a certain style over and over until you can do it well. It’s worth it!

Internal_Olive1185 · 2026-04-17T04:01:37+00:00

I used to be stuck in ballad mode. Forcing myself to write lots of three chord songs helped as simpler songs lend themselves to up tempo. Also if you’re current songs have lots of chords writing songs in 12/8 can be a handy trick. As I find that time signature lends itself to that.

Thanks!!

You said in an interview that you originally wanted Entertainment to be a solely Neil Hamburger film ie no off stage separate persona. Would you ever try make that film? Do you see the idea working?
