HEART BEAT

https://www.reverbnation.com/kaynemusic/song/34707229-heart-beat


I wrote this as a 80's Hair Band Stadium Rock / Bon Jovi type of song. I found a great singer on Fiverr.com to get that sound. We multi tracked his vocals, and got that big sound. I also used extra compression and reverb to get that Big 80's Drum sounds.

With every beat of my heart girl I am reminded of you
With every song that I hear girl I am reminded of you
With every beat of my heart I am within you (without you)
With every song that I hear girl I am without you
On and On the radio playing love songs all night long
reminding me of you with every beat

Heart Beat give me back my heart girl Heart Beat let me go
Heart Beat give me back my heart girl Heart Beat let me go

With every song that I hear I am with you … again
With every beat of the drums I can feel you … again
With every song that I hear girl I am without you … again
With every note that I sung my heart is breaking

On and On the record spins Spinning love songs all night long
Reminding me of you with every beat

Heart Beat give me back my heart girl Heart Beat let me go
Heart Beat give me back my heart girl Heart Beat let me go

KEY UP 1
2x
Heart Beat give me back my heart girl
Heart Beat give me back my heart
Heart Beat give me back my heart girl
Heart Beat let me go

Heart Beat ….

Elliott,

Everything about this song just works...

Love the arrangement, tracks selection and excellent mix. You completely nailed the sound that you were after.

Great singer as well. Loved it!

Elliott, yep, you got the heartbeat of that sound for sure. Cool break, rebuild and outro. Vocalist has the right pipes for this, too. The "heartbeat" sounds were a nice subtle touch, but not TOO subtle. This IS hair metal after all. smile Superb arrangement, as always. Nice one!

Hi Elliott,

This is not my genre as I'm sure you know.

HOWEVER - this is another top song and beautifully produced. I particularly liked the stop and change of key towards the end - excellent.

Best Regards
Nigel

Elliott, you nailed that 80's big hair band vibe
Super vocal
Great backing tracks and arrangement
Outstanding mix

Sensationally good, Elliott. Right from intro we were in for a special treat. Excellent tribute to 80s hair bands. BIG sound so well developed. Man, close your eyes and you can see the stage from here. The crowd loves it!!


Enjoy whatever happens!

Yep... sounds like something that I would have heard in a play list with the Cars, The Knack, and Blondie.

Nice and crisp.

What a great sound. Cool intro and outro. You do all these genres well, I never know what to expect from you - but it's always good. Really excellent mix and stereo effects. You nailed this down tight!

You definitely got the Bon Jovi vibe in band and singer.

Great choice with the singer and, man, your compression settings really caused the drum track to pop.
THAT. SNARE.

Cool write mix and all around production.

Rock on!

Hi, Eliot.

You and the singer did a great job on this. I'm not an expert on the genre, but it seems authentic to my ears. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
