The Measure of Love
Written and performed by Staypress

Ch
The measure of love is to love without measure
Be there for the pain as well as the pleasure
V1
You said you'd be the one for me
and you said you would eternally
Prechorus
You can't choose when to care and when you will be there
It's a full time job so beware, don't play with ;love.
Chorus
V2
Come the time I need you near
You're nowhere to be found my dear
Prechorus
Chorus
Middle bit
'The dark brown eyes of your first love'
Chorus to end

Lovely slice of electro-pop Daryl. Very good chorus, I could imagine any number of popular artists getting a hold of that. Listening through ATH-300 headphones, bass is coming through really well, nice warm sounding mix. No crits. Top notch!

Daryl,
 
When the drum intro started I was expecting a Chic or Earth Wind and Fire bass line to come barreling in:)    Very nice 80's techno vibe to this song.   The mix sounds really good.  Like the percussion fills, are you using Battery by chance?
 
Regards

Noice one mate.

Love the vintage electro-pop vibe!!

Hi. Great stuff. I like everything about it and the bass is just great too. Mix was good in my ears, although not sure if I should say anything about mixing because I have problems with it.

Thanks James. I've been listening to Foster the People and Passion Pit recently. Two contemporary bands who are heavily influenced by the eighties :)

The mix comes across here very well, nice tune with great chorus hook, nice job all round worth a

That snare really pops. What did you use?
This tune works for sure. Might want to think about a slight HPF on your lead vocal. Just a bit too much body at times.

Hey Mark - maybe next time for the funk thing :)
Yes - Battery for the percussion and doubling up with EZ Drummer for the main drum part. There is also a tom loop thing in the chorus and the intro.
