Heat Haze (ft. CoriAnder and Ruth Gillies)

Story Behind The Song

I wrote 'Heat Haze' sitting in my garden on the hottest day of the year here at the end of June 2015. It seemed like the perfect ambience to write a bright and breezy pop song. Once again 19 year old Corin Anderson has done an amazing production job and Ruth Gillies has interpreted the song brilliantly.

Lyrics

Each time, I walk down on the beach
And meanwhile, you're somehow out of reach
You got me reeling
Wasting all my time on you

Crashing, like surf on the shore
And feeling, that I can do no more
And seeing, that the one that you ignore is me

Tell you once, tell you a thousand times
You'll hear my voice
Make you turn around
Come my way
All the way, so easy
(Show me that you love me)
Tell you once, tell you a thousand times
You'll hear my voice
Make you turn around
Come my way
All the way, so easy

Sundown, now the light is fading
I can get around
To what I need to say
And you'll hear the sound
Of the words I need to say to you


Tell you once, tell you a thousand times
You'll hear my voice
Make you turn around
Come my way
All the way, so easy
(Show me that you love me)
Tell you once, tell you a thousand times
You'll hear my voice
Make you turn around
Come my way
All the way, so easy

Heat haze on the longest of days
There's a heat wave gonna burn me away
Heat haze on the longest of days
There's a heat wave gonna burn me away

Tell you once, tell you a thousand times
You'll hear my voice
Make you turn around
Come my way
All the way, so easy
(Show me that you love me)
Tell you once, tell you a thousand times
You'll hear my voice
Make you turn around
Come my way
All the way, so easy
There's a heat haze on the longest of days

I thought that this song was fantastic. I love the synth. Overall, the song is super modern and I could totally see this song on a "top hits" list in the very near future. The lyrics, vocal quality and annunciation was great and I really liked how you pulled back on the bridge. Well done!

Creative intro and production provide a great backdrop for this fresh emotion-packed female voice. The way it came across to me is this young girl walking down the beach, wanting to be noticed by this guy...but she is ignored. (teenage angst?) I like the instrumentation; I like when it breaks off. The background vocals suit the song nicely. You can "feel the heat" in the song, so that's a production plus. Great ending! Nicely done!

Very good song, upbeat, positive and emotional at the same time, really a talented Singer. I enjoyed listening.
