Here's the 4th of 8 tracks I want to get perfect finished by FAWM end so any input crit nit opinion that you think might improve it so I can add it at #62 to my WK100 project (see my profile) is very very welcome....
This one started life during 5090 2015, 2 weeks before the last song I posted "Rest Now".
Repaying all visits (with bells on) starting March1 - after I take a breath!
This last week of FAWM is crazy busy.
Thanks for all the love, support, input. I'm listening. All ears hear all things!
Help me reach perfect! :)

Light It Up, Tear It Down by Wolf Kier

++++++++++++++++++++
Cry like a baby in the night time
I been walking a straight line
My head goes back to my home again
Round and round and round
Gonna light it up gonna tear it down
Something that my heart says
Light it up and tear it down
Something that my heart says
Bulid it back up off the ground
Something that my heart says
Light it up and tear it down.
Ai ai ai ai, Light it up and tear it down.
You don't smile like you did before.
You don't smile like you did before.
Truck's all packed gonna move away
To a brand new life and a brand new day
We done it before we'll do it again
Round and round and round and round
Light it up gonna tear it down
Something that my heart says
Light it up and tear it down
Something that my heart says
Light it up and tear it down
Something that my heart says
Light it up and tear it down.
Something that my heart says
Light it up and tear it down.
Something that my heart says
Light it up and tear it down
Something that my heart says
Light it up and tear it down
Something that my heart says
Light it up and tear it down
Something that my heart says
Light it up and tear it down
You don't smile like you used to
You don't smile like you used to
The old place in flames in the rear view mirror
We gonna drive and drive like we got the fever
Now you're smiling like you did before
We gonna drive and drive like we got the fever
Now you're smiling like you did before
We're gonna leave the dead in that one horse town
Yeah we lit it up we tore it down.
Something that my heart says
Light it up and tear it down
Something that my heart says
Light it up and tear it down
Something that my heart says
Light it up and tear it down
Something that my heart says
Light it up and tear it down

Man that intro with bass and drums...is a classic. Great hook line. I am a believer that is an very important element to a song and this one has it.....so let's "Light it up and tear it down"....da dada da da da da!!

This has a grooving bassline to start off, really like the upbeat vibe in this, there is a sense of joy and letting go in the act of the chorus, like moving on and leaving behind, the "downs" are sung well with a drop to emphasize well. #tit4tat

Ooh this is straight in with the funk! I love Dutch Uncles and this really has that same vibe. The bass really sets the tone and I like where you pull it out from time to time and bring back- great effect. The “round and round and round” line is really great. Fits so well with the circular motion of the track. I also love the sound of the overdriven synths and the way the clean guitars come in and out around them. Intrigued by the lyrics, how far is it metaphor and how far is the narrator going to go? It’s always hard to make a repeating line work without getting too repetitive but you do a great job here, and light it up/tear it down is powerful and evocative. No suggested changes for this one, think you’ve got it nailed! #tit4tat2

Very funky disco vibe going on with the bass, drums and horns. The vocals sound like what David Bowie would have done during his blue-eyed soul period. Melodic catchy chorus! I think this is one of my favourites from you. #tit4tat5

I’m lying on a bed, eyes closed and just taking this in. There is a lot of repetition in the words here but it it works. Dig’n how this starts with the bass. There’s some very nice single note guitar that comes in for a bit about 1:30 in. Nice mix. I think it sounds great. Nothing to critique here. Listened twice.

That first line popped up today. In me heaaaad :). Had been listening before, and also, back then, I had that funky, groovy thing working in my system.
The right version of buildbackbetter, I'd say. No comments on the mix!

Tit4tat This is really classy! One of my favs. It gets you in then just moves at the right times, all the fills come just as i want to hear them. Great vox for this! Spot on
@writeandwrong Feb 2022
The beginning just makes the listener have to stay to hear the rest! The chorus is hypnotizing. On point vocals. "We're gonna leave the dead in that one horse town, yeah we lit it up we tore it down." This one's ready for a road trip when you need to clear your head!! The ending, how it just stops. My heart stopped!! #tit4tat5

That bass line gripped me straight away. Such a funky 80s vibe. Tight lyrics, smooth vocals. Signature @wolfkier
@sbs2018 Feb 2022
This one reminds me a bit of Boy George. Maybe Boy George meets David Bowie - lol. Intriguing lyrics. The “You don’t smile anymore” line hit home. Was told “You’ve lost your smile” near the end of my first marriage. So, yeah, true 80s vibe all the way around, which, musically, is so in now.
