I hesitate to post this, it's a political song, but here goes. I tried to make this as old school lush Eurotrash as possible, there are no guitars in the song. I welcome your response, but keep your political affiliation to yourself. The verses are all me, the choruses mainly BB, with the great sax solo from RB. My main instrument was the Novation UltraNova, which provided the synths,vocorder, kick drum, and even the radio sound effect.

Dance Four Years

I wake up in the morning, see a brand new day,
then the truth hits me like a truck rolling over a squirrel in the middle of a highway
I turn on the tv and hear today's new alternative facts,
I can't escape it and I sure as hell can't relax
Somehow the country I love has been hijacked, taken away,
seems like all the racists and low life thugs are in charge today
I just want to make it go away, close my eyes, and dry my tears
turn up the music, and dance for four years.

One - We'll make it through together
Two - now we're halfway there
three - I see the light approaching
Four - cheering everywhere

One - I know it seems forever
Two - It's dark before the dawn
Three - Can you see the sunrise
Four - and now the night is gone

Forget about it all, we'll dance four years
Forget about it all, we'll dance four years

Yeh I know, this is when we need to get involved and pay attention
We gotta support the truth, the real facts, sure, that's my intention
But if I have to read or hear every word out of these fools mouth
I'll be useless, it'll drive me crazy, I'll just go south
But we got a new movement here that makes the Tea Party look small
This is democracy in action, and I'm proud of you all
You turn out in the millions, your voice is being heard, this is our chance
But when they start talking, lets just shut up and dance

Chorus

Hi Will Rockwell, This is a banger! I really loved the Vocoder, its airy sounding. Really dig the synth stabs too. Well done! smile

thanks Joe. This is one song that was written as it was recorded, I did the chord progressions in BB and imported them to Pro Tools before I had any lyrics written down. The three synths from BB all made the cut, they go well with the UltraNova.
