Thoughts on Get It Right

The chorus would not go away. It appeared one morning and humming it repeatedly i got it down in the DAW. My original intro for this read: “You are with someone you love and nothing you want to say comes out as intended. The track captures the moment with a memorable chorus, instead of the right words.” Which is exactly that. Sometimes the “right” words come out, other times not so much. I always wonder if that means no words were actually necessary and that certain moments are ok with silence, or, more likely, me just being socially awkward. (:

Anyway, this is a bit of a departure –again– from the sound and content of previous tracks but it was really cool how it came together. The vocals only took 4 million takes but worth it as they formed almost ad libbed to capture that truly “i have no idea what i am trying to say” spontaneous feeling. I really hope you enjoy.

Get It Right, Already

In the soft embrace of a moment alone “Get It Right” unfolds like a secret shared between souls, a melody that mirrors night fog. You hopefully find yourself transported to a space where the the language is unspoken love.

Embracing the Moment

The song is an amalgram of moments where words fail but emotions speak loudly. It’s a track dedicated to instances when the heart is full, expression is too much, and the search for the right words is replaced by a shared silence that resonates deeper than conversation.

Soundtrack of The Perfect Night

With a catchy chorus, “Get It Right” becomes a soundtrack to those nights where time stops and the only agenda is to hold each other tightly and sway under the stars to a faint melody. The lyrics, a struggle to articulate feelings, mirror the sentiment of those who may find solace in the silent understanding that transcends the need for words.

Getting the Simplicity Right

The song embodies simplicity, capturing the beauty of the moment without unnecessary embellishments. The reoccurring and self-aware Sunset Sky introspection is laid bare, echoing raw and genuine emotions.

Discover Get it Right for Yourself

For those discovering “Get It Right” for the first time, the song invites you into a world where love is felt, even when words fail. It’s a melody for the soul, and for those seeking solace in unspoken glances and held hands. Enjoy.

Get it Right Lyrics

get it right

do you ever feel

like you’re just not there

the words you say

no one cares

or it’s just the wrong thing to say

you can’t seem to connect

you try anyway

it still doesn’t make sense

is it the way i talk

i can’t do anything right

can never say what i mean

why do i even try

i switch to something else

something light

cause i want to

connect you and i

yes i’m always talking

but i am always listening

why can’t i seem to get it right

the words come out

different than i

ever meant them to sound

even alone with you tonight

even though i can’t say what i mean

you nod silently and listen to me

the beautiful thing you understand

you look in my eyes and hold my hand

yes i’m always talking

but i am always listening

why can’t i seem to get it right

the words come out

different than i

ever meant them to sound

even alone with you tonight

i don’t know

how to say

i just love you

in every way

yes i’m always talking

but i am always listening

why can’t i seem to get it right

the words come out

different than i

ever meant them to sound

while i say i love you tonight

By Now – Sunset Sky

Interesting, or not so interesting observation. When i am in a good place the songs become more melancholy. When things are not so great, i take great solace in dance music. I think i needed something uptempo, but still with the Sunset Sky introspection. Too messed up to ever give that up haha Music is therapy and here’s to everyone else who’s going through it. Cheers – this one’s for you.

Now back to our regularly scheduled promotional programming (:

Lyrics that Speak to the Soul

The lyrics of “By Now” are a blend of energetic beats and reflective self-awareness. The song opens with the lines:

Trying to make things right, don’t overthink it was all you said

You know I don’t do so well; I’ve been all up in my head

This sets the tone for the entire track, as the protagonist grapples with the dichotomy of trying to find their place in the world while being their own harshest critic.

You think I’d have it figured out by now But I don’t

The right-out-of-the-gate antemic chorus should resonate deeply with anyone who’s ever felt that societal expectations don’t quite match their own personal journey. The song’s refrain is a potent reminder that it’s okay not to have it all figured out, no matter how much pressure you might feel from the outside world.

Energetic Yet Thoughtful

“By Now” is crafted to be a paradox, seamlessly combining high-energy dance beats with the contemplative lyrics that urge you to embrace your own imperfections and uncertainties. The catchy chorus, while maintaining an upbeat tempo, underscores the struggle to find one’s way:

You think I’d have it figured out by now But I don’t

As the song progresses, it delves deeper into the protagonist’s inner turmoil, encapsulating the chaos -and hopefully beauty- of life’s unpredictability:

Been through this a million ways, get nervous every time you see

What is it about these thoughts, take hold every time I think

This is where the dance elements and the introspective lyrics come together seamlessly. The dynamic instrumental arrangements create a mesmerizing atmosphere, perfect for losing yourself on the dance floor while contemplating life’s twists and turns.

An Unexpected Bridge

The song takes an unexpected turn in the bridge, showcasing a humorous take with the lines:

You think I’d have it figured out by now (laughs, talks)

This playful moment reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously, even in the midst of life’s complexity.

“By Now” ultimately ends on a triumphant note, reinforcing the idea that it’s okay to be a work in progress. Life is a journey, and it’s perfectly fine not to have all the answers yet.

In Conclusion

“By Now” is more than just a dance track; it’s a musical embodiment of the ebbs and flows of life’s challenges and triumphs. With its energetic tempo, reflective lyrics, and unexpected twists, this song is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever questioned where they are on their journey. So, if you’re ready to embrace the chaos, dance through the uncertainty, and let go of the need to have it all “figured out,” “By Now” is the anthem you’ve been waiting for. Give it a listen, and join the dancefloor as you celebrate the beautiful mess that is life.

By Now Lyrics

By Now

key of g bpm 128

trying to make things right

‘don’t overthink it’ was all you said

you know i don’t do so well

ive been all up in my head

easier said than done

‘cause i don’t know what you would say

but i know you understand

that i’m still finding my way

you think id have it figured it out by now x3

but i don’t

been through this a million ways

get nervous every time you see

what is it about these thoughts

take hold everytime i think

every moment i spend with you

i just feel like its so right

i love i know better than this

but i just can’t say it tonight

you think id have it figured it out by now x3

but i don’t

you think id have it figured it out by now

(laughs no way)

you think id have it figured it out by now x3

but i don’t

trying to make things right

over thinking it was all you said

you know its been so damn long

since ive been outside my head

easier to let it go

don’t always know what i should say

but know you understand

that i’m still finding my way

you think id have it figured it out by now x3

but i don’t
