Warning: Not Soul Music (But Could Be...maybe...)

[Guest Carl Dixon]

Forgive me for posting this url to a new song/production I am working on right now. It is not often I deviate from a more 1960's/70's Detroit/Philly groove, but after seeing The Beach Boys at Wembley last September, I came up with this melody and chords. I saw David Cameron get asked an embarrassing question by a journalist called 'Libby' at a Northern Ireland conference last November, live on Sky News whilst I was working in the news area. Cameron replied a few words and finished off with 'Libby,let's leave it at that', which I though would make a great song title. I came up with the lyric writing soon after and married it up with the chords and melody mentioned earlier etc. This is still work in progress and am fine tuning for one of those mid 1960's Beach Boys/Phil Spector type of productions. See what you think. It really is irrelevant for this forum, but if I get any decent response I may slow it down, change the groove slightly, the b/v's and 'Detroitify' it at some stage...who knows:

 

 

People often ask what comes first the music or the words. In this case it was the chords, then the melody line, then I wrote the words to fit what I had done!

Thank you for a respons boba. I am happy with 'The Beatles' mentioned. I can see why it has a British 'note' on it.
