Well. Where to start with this one. @halfwayhome sent me a little piano loop, the one at the start. And I started singing a kind of one note melody over it. And that's all that happened for many days. Then we thought. Hmm. This could be a huge 80s pop stadium rock ballad. So that's where we went with it. And this is the somewhat ridiculous result.
I don't wanna die
I'll never let you cry
Innocent of everything
Our feelings multiply
I won't hold your hand
You'll never understand
Daffodils & dandelions
Dying in my hand
I can't comprehend
Why we've hit the end
Sepia and polaroids
A heart will never end
I don't wanna lie
I let my feelings die
Daffodils & dandelions
Will gently multiply
If you love
Can you show me
If you feel
Say my name
Daffodils & dandelions
It's all just a game
I
I won't let you
I won't let you
I won't let you die

Epic…as has been noted, the vibe is very Prince like. Wonderful guitar playing. Enjoyed this…

Epic awesome stadium anthem - I would be waving my lighter and swaying with the masses with my dandelions and daffodils in my hair and tears in my eyes singing along - love that title/hook and how you developed this song from a little piano loop….. such a smooth and epic sound —- fabulous! Great use of break down section. Awesome guitar and vocals!! Still swaying after the music ends!

Well, this just demonstrate how huge FAWM is. I only came here because of the "who's still around" thread and the virtual cruelty @fonte and I are applying in the "hello " thread. This serious 80s stadium stuff indeed, in fact as the US would say, you've hit it right out of the park. I'm soooo envious of that guitar...

Lovely chorus on the guitar. This builds up so nicely. Perfect 80s vibe. Guitar solo and vocoder at the end!!! I am a huge fan.

Ooooh, Prince is spinning in his grave, but not in a negative way! He is rolling around in glee, because it's hard to dance in a coffin. Alas, great collab fellas, what a groove! That solo!
@hbusse Feb 2022
Oo, this is such an intriguing one! Each new layer added from the beginning felt unexpected, yet also totally satisfying. When that chorus hit I was like “yessss!” Vocoder at the end gives it a very modern finish. Fun listen!
@paulmauled Feb 2022
Def prince vibes. Love that guitar. Well done.
@davidtaro Feb 2022
Huge Prince vibes. The BEST kind. So much in the production to love - the slap bass, the 80s chorus guitar (very Purple Rain), all that heavy delay on the vocals, the insanely massive gated reverb on the drums toward the end, and the beautiful piano underneath it all. Some of the vocal tomfoolery behind the main chorus melody is wonderful. And then that lead guitar hits like a sledgehammer. I feel at this point in the song you are very much channelling Purple Rain, and I am OK with that. Vocoder at the end too - class choice! Love this.
@jessicamoon Feb 2022
I totally love this! I got prince “I would die 4 u” vibes. I love the background vocals, the guitar… this one was definitely working for me! This is the missing song from purple rain I think lol :)
@jonmeta Feb 2022
I’m waving my lighter and singing along. Massive.
@nuchoyce Feb 2022
Woooo you guys killed this!! The vocal performance is very Prince like. That guitar plays no games. This is crazy.
