Another lost classic, haven't listened to in while

Really like this. Just a laid back b side, but one of my favorite bridges.

Purple Balloons hangin on air
styro foam cups and plates on a chair
selfies and smiles tacked to a cube
echoes of laughter the night's interlude

Twas Somebody's birthday
A day shift hooray!
I'm here through midnight
when blue turns to gray

A silk haired latina toes through the aisle
vacuums the crumbs and gives me a smile
empties the bucket then poof she be gone
a row of fluorescent now one's only on

Twas somebody's birthday
now aint that the way
I listen to B. B.
till blue turns to gray

When blue turns to gray
it's 4 am
and the deer look for windshield to smash
When blue turns to gray
radio host talks "anything goes"
the moonlight and stars all collapse

Twas somebody's big day
A day shift Hoorah,
I work through midnight
When blue turns to gray

Bump

Very pretty reminiscent with the bridge rich in harmony reminiscent of Magna Carta

Nice and simple Dom...music and story

Production notes?

Lots of furniture , sounds good man

Thanks, its about the isolation you feel working in a building where everybody else is gone. Kinda feel left out. I wrote this while working, a contract night job. I'd go home at 6 am.

Had an office window where I could see the sky change as hours passed. Was blue when i was getting there, then turns black, then wee hours of morning turns gray before it becomes blue again.

And kinda a double hook of blue, as in feeling blue

Feels like your the only one alive.

Music is dreamy and quiet and mellow, to suit the picture.

I think anyway u, might disagree.

Was not trying to make this a hit, cause it wouldn't be.

Not everything is a catchy massive hook

AND, I wrote it on the clock, so I can say I was paid to write this..

Thanks, I got the furniture at a discount furniture store nearby

LOL...like the getting paid to write this. yes the setting came through as did the events...and that furniture store must have been an after ours visit

I wanted to know how the song was produced.

If that is you or AI like my\our SUNO?

Now thats not a bad joke. You'll get to the studio eventually, if I keep offending you. it's not god damn rocket science , You stand up there and sing. oh yeah robots. That thing you hear in the headphones is the music , you sing to that and ask the producer how was that ? Most likely he'll say sing it again , you'll be completely drained when you leave. You'll get home and listen to it, and say "God Damn that aint bad and pat yourself on the back" . Then make fun of people who use Suno and robot jokes. Get banned from forums for being a assholee. Listen to Bill Burr , fucke your groups. Cuz you tell some senior citizen he sings like a Bassett hound. Most likely mention Dylan . Who is a 2028 artist ? you'll get I have no idea. All I listen to is oldies on radio for 9 bucks a month , Well no worries they're still having sex in a chevy. in the back seat of course , cuz the steering wheel gives you cramps . Most likely her name is Jenny . You can bet a million dollars, it was by a river and the moon was shining .

Well its definitely not me singing, I dont have a British accent. It Was produced in udio, painstaking listening to probably hundred takes till its close to what i want.

But im very pleased with the results, the exact mood was looking for.

You may not think so, but getting good takes on your lyrucs, requires a good ear, and knowing what is worth it and what ain't.

I messed with this again, just to see if I coukd make it a bit more blues.

Could not get it to do better than this.

The 6/8 timing, was perfect for flow of lyrics.

It does not fare as well in 4/4 time

I will never be going to the studio, but I WILL be switching to suno, playing and singing the tracks in a daw.

Plus I will be using alot of my musical ideas too.

But just wanted to master this way of doing it, which I think I have

just messing with you dom

I know but you half mean it to.

And you're probably right, I should be putting myself in it
