my electric face

Story Behind The Song

The chorus riff is where I started - I liked the heavy electronic bassline of the chorus and wanted the melody line to follow. The rest followed from there. I'm not entirely happy with the lyrical content yet - it will change over the coming weeks.

Lyrics

Shiny hands going round
Up above underground
Humans can't keep up the pace
They defy convention
Seconds tick keep the time
People lose direction
Try to stop the hands of time
Quick before destruction

Don't you touch my electric face
Don't you stop my electric face
If you do I will eat your face
Don't you touch my electric face

People work against the tide
Losing sense of connection
Life machines lead the way
Pushing time & production
Minutes tick overtime
People lose affection
Try to stop the hands of time
Quick before destruction

Don't you touch my electric face
Don't you stop my electric face
If you do, I will eat your face
Don't you touch my electric face

Hours tick keep the time
People lose direction
Try to stop the hands of time
Quick before destruction

Don't you touch my electric face
Don't you stop my electric face
If you do, I will eat your face
Don't you touch my electric face

Don't you touch my electric face
Don't you stop my electric face
If you do, I will eat your face
Don't you touch my electric face

This has a catchy feel to it, i could see it in an old movie like 'Fame", great stuff!

Very 80's sounding pop (which is not a bad thing) Like the slightly comical lyrics.

Intentionally choppy, this song is very unique. It's definitely a song of our disconnected electronic age, a song of alienation. The song definitely takes you into a very uncomfortable zone, but I think that is what is meant to do. The ticking sound in the intro is very effective. Love the instrumentation. Great mix and production.

In style very similar to pet shop boys.

Very 80s! UIK scene of new wave meets pop

I had to listen to this more than once as I enjoyed it so much. I love the funkiness that you've incorporated into this track and it has a killer hook which, I know, is difficult to get right!! Well done, you! The track gels well in its use of rhythms, instrumentation, melody and is well structured in terms of verse/chorus/bridge thus creating a highly polished arrangement and production. The voice is good, too!

you have a real clean and clear sound, I don't really listen to downbeats but you just made me like it, it has sort of funk to it for sure, real retro

A very nice production...I was surprised by the vocal, and I promise I won't touch your electric face. Nice job with the electric piano sound...a cross between acoustic and electric. The clock intro is unique. I hear this playing in the dance clubs. I like the way the tune grows musically. The mix and the arrangement are nicely done. The pad intro the song was very pretty.
Good job!

nice work up groove BASS! Ha!

The recording and arrangement are of a high quality. The lyrics have a kind of shock value that is attention getting.

Fantastic groove!! Immediately catchy!! The whole production sounds completely pro to me! The vibe is perfect for this genre!!

This is really awesome work. Nice groove and very well arranged.

I like the retro disco vibe with a mix from the 80's pop with a free style.

There is this man singing in this electronic dance musical - he doesn't want me to touch his electric face. But sir, you have a fly on your forehead! I am not touching this man's electric face because in the song he says if I do, he'll eat my face. Sorry dude, but I'm too ugly to be munching on. Umm, sir, there's a fly on your forehead.

Like the bass and the counterpoint on the lead insttrument.

Nice instant feel good vibe. Like that synth.
