Feb 2022 disco 70s electronic edm dorisdayrap
Dug through my "Disco" folder and put together some sounds I'd created in GarageBand. I usually then finish it in Logic but it sounded better in GB - go figure! Wrote the lyrics for it while listening to the groove, but needed a rap vibe rather than a melodic voice. Rap isn't my native language unless Doris Day Rap is a genre - lol!
In this song journey of FAWM 2022, track #4 seems to be about taking a look back.
"Take Me Back"
Kathy Holmes
Take me back
to the track
to the disco bar
People come dressed in black
No matter how close or far
Earthquake Ethel’s was her name
in the disco hall of fame
Vodka martinis after work
Poured by the man in a sexy blue shirt
49 cents just to flirt
Big Band music started the roar
And then the Disco shook the doors
Earthquake Ethel’s was her name
in the disco hall of fame
Take me back
to the track to the disco bar

This is super fun, the bass and the guitar are both stellar and fit so well with the vibe. Also the delivery of the lyrics feels very cool. Kind of reminds me a little of the bridge in Vulfpeck’s Conscious Club? But it’s also quite possible you’re both independently drawing inspiration from a similar place!

Love that guitar lick. I remember disco AND discos. I had a sequined red silk shirt. I am totally picturing this playing there. :)

This is really nostalgic in a good way. The delivery of the lyrics reminds me a bit of Madonna when she did her Vogue thing (when was that? A long time ago now I suppose.) A nice enjoyable listen with my morning coffee, thanks!

yooo this is really groovy! almost has a stock-aitken-waterman vibe to it when the synths come in! :D

Such a lovely groove and the echoed vocals remind me of that big reverby drunken haze of those glorious days in white suits and silk shirts. Yeah. Well done.

Thanks again for your always kind words and visits, my friend. Great to hear you jamming again!

Don’t mind being compared to Blondie! :) Thank you so much for listening to “Take Me back.” Ooops! I left my comment in the wrong place again. :)

This rocks! Love the hybrid post punk / funk vibe to it. Your rap reminds me a lot of Blondie's "Rapture" (which I love)- a similar glam eccentricity.

That bass slaps! Funky fun. I love the synths. You’ve created a fun and inviting atmosphere.
