I was going to send this song off to Russ via email and thought I might as well make a post of it too. This is a song I’ve been working on for a while, but I’m never really sure if the choruses are working.

Anyway in this version I tried do this “every little sister in the club” pre-chorus part that Russ came up with. This didn’t follow as closely as it should have, but the concept is definitely a keeper. I was going to change the lyrics to “can you get your sister in the club? Get your older sister on the phone” but I forgot. The second time I sang “every single sister that’s around”, which I think is a funny little pun. Also I think this song needs to be quite a bit faster.

The high chorus are working better than the low one’s were, although it is definitely at the top of my range. I haven’t settled on the lyrics for the choruses, but I think I might stick with the non-repeating choruses. Is that going to work?

I’m starting to think about arrangements for this song and I I’d like to give the electric guitar a shot. On the other hand, the acoustic guitar would be more in line with the other songs that we’ve been wrapping up. For percussion on this song I’m kind of hearing an eighth-note snare with accents on 2 & 4 – kind of Radar Love-ish. The time is such that “I heard your sister’s looking” to “I heard your sister say” is four bars.
