I’m Looking Down

This is a popish sort of tune I made up in Sonar 8.5. I know, I know, it would have fit in back in the late 60’s or early 70’s. But that’s the pop music I love. I’m interested to hear opinions on composition, arrangement, melody, and how everything comes through in the mix. It badly needs a vocal. I have the lyrics written, I just don’t have a singer. I tried to get that awesome bari sax sound on The Beatles “Savoy Truffle”, it’s no where close, but it’s the best I could do with the sample libraries I have.

First person to say “It needs more cowbell” wins a brand new shiny car.

EDIT: There are two mp3's, one is without the horns and synths just so the melody is clearer. That, and I'm not really too thrilled with my horn arrangement.

Nice piece. Yes it brings me back to those pop styles.

I don't care who you are, this is great pop music. Simple, swinging, soulful. Sigh. Those were the good ol' days. Just look where pop music is now.

Great job, @epii!

I love it! Better than most pop music I listen to. Everything is in minor and depressing. 

Luis Hernandez, Tonskald, and Sepharite,

Wow! Thanks you guys. I don't like today's popular music either. All the great timeless music from Bach to The Beatles seems lost to an entire generation.

I miss simple melodies. Ahhh, the good old days indeed!

Thanks again.  :)
