    Such a fun lil tune! I love when the drums cut out and the synth builds up to bring the drums back in, sounded great sir.

      @AshleySmithh  3 роки тому +4

      Cheers Drew! I'm glad you liked it. I was just going to let the beat play out for a bit, but I thought the synths worked well as a build up to bring the drums back in. I'm happy someone noticed it!

    Honest to god, this is amazing. I could listen to this for hours on repeat. The fact that you can make such an amazing beat on GarageBand amazes me. It’s all the reason I’m wanting to get the Akai mpk mini. Sadly don’t have FUNCTIONAL laptop due to it having a virus but if it would work with garage band on my phone, hands down gonna choose this if I get a Akai keyboard of any type. Amazing job dude, you gained my respect and love for this beat of yours. ❤️

      Yeah I used the same tempo and chord progression (120bpm, C A E G) if I remember correctly! I’m going to make a cover version of it soon so I’ll try to get it sounding the exact same. Any songs you want to see a loop inspired by??

    Sing along:
    I saw you dancing in a crowded room
    You look so happy when I'm not with you
    But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
    A single teardrop falling from your eye
    I don't know why I run away
    I'll make you cry when I run away
    Save your tears for another day
    Save your tears for another day
    (If you start singing from the part where the drums come in it fits perfectly)
