is it still one-take if you add harmonies? I also did a video (I'm trying to take more video of originals so I can get over my aversion to social media) so...I've gotta figure out how to link the video I took with this audio.
I'm visiting LA for a couple of days, the land of Make Believe, but also this kind of turned into a song about propaganda given what's been happening in Ukraine. So now the lyrics kind of feel like they're caught in between, and I feel like I need to give it some clarity to give the song more of a punch. Would love any suggestions. Thanks everybody for an awesome FAWM! Stoked to hear yall's last-ditch songs.
anything can happen in the land of
make believe
just about anything,
just about anything
ohh,
anything can happen in the land of
make believe
just about anything,
just about anything
don’t believe your television
don’t believe your internet
better yet,
don’t believe your eyes and ears
what you see and hear ain’t real
but don’t bother getting nothing checked
don’t believe the news,
nothing new
just be grateful that you’re getting fed
got the blues?
we can fix that with some therapy so
you don’t see what’s up ahead
it’s in your head,
baby cause
anything can happen in the land of
make believe
just about anything,
just about anything
ohh,
anything can happen in the land of
make believe
just about anything,
just about anything

This reminds me of the sirens in the movie "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou". The invitation to forget reality and lose yourself. It's so seductive. Brilliant lyrics and beautifully sung. Maybe tighten up the middle section to be more sinisterly enticing?

Incredible vibes ere. Your vocals are floaty and magical, yet raw at the same time. Love the staccato entrance of the bass on “don’t believe your television.” Would be curious how it would feel with just a bit of a percussion track of some type. Great work!

That is some tasty swirling chorus you got there. Amazing range on show here, the jump up into the falsetto is glorious. You are so great at knowing when and when not to throw in those backing vocals too

This is so ethereal and luscious. Kind of like that there isn’t too much punch to it, just kind of laid back pop. Beautiful harmonies.

You are soooo cool. You are just gliding all over this track. The lyrics are so on topic with whats going on. I actually would not change a thing, unless you can change while still keeping this same vibe! Its just so natural. I also think harmonies count as one takes.

Oh. My. Goodness. Those harmony vocals though.
I need to catch up on your other stuff but this is so wonderful, especially for a last day let-it-rip track!
