I was surprised that you didn't really feature the "Eldorado bring me faster, bring me freedom..." lines by repeating that melody and turning it into a full fledged chorus. I think that's a great hook.

Loved it.

Hi Mark!

Your post really made me think! You're right--the lift is more exciting than the chorus...the lift accelerates, while the chorus settles into a groove. So I added some EQ to the chorus and adjusted some volumes...but I'm still mulling over the best way to make it sustain the same energy.

Thanks you for the very helpful input! I'm still adding bits and pieces... grin
