Lyrics

Open up

Open up
Open up
Open up
See the sunshine

Open up
Open up
Open up
Feel the moonshine

You can be honest
Let yourself be exposed
Get below the surface
Let go of (Release) what's enclosed

You can be obvious
Candid, cut it loose
Be conspicuous
Turn on the juice

Open up
Open up
Open up
Feel the earth quake

Open up
Open up
Open up
Let your heart break

Open up

JW...love that 80s dance feel. Nice kick drum and those vocal effects are cool.

@dotsandlines 3d

Ooh, that wasn't what I expected. I kind of got Erasure vibes. Fun!

@peterxml 3d

Nice, cheerful upbeat intro, first verse, second verse, digging all the sounds, bopping along. Then that glitchy transition into the bridge, and I like it even more. Definitely turns on the juice.

@hmstreetteam 4d

It seems it is a cheerful, busy world knocking at the door and asking for attention. A good song for waking up or lifting a mood.

@sunfire 4d

Just listened. I like the quirky musical vibe created. Thanks for letting me know you put music to the words. Enjoyed hearing.

Oh, wow, such a cool song, it just opened up right away and drew me in. It's unmissable experience. And I was listening with a smile going from ear to ear. It made my evening beautiful. What a treat. Hypnotic use of lyrics and instrumentation. Very original, catchy, dynamic and totally adorable.

Thanks for letting me know about the music - this one is jumping around in my headphones like a sonic jolt of espresso! Super cool use of sounds. Love it!

I guessed these lyrics would work and they do!
Very 90s feel to this arrangement.

Hope to hear music for this one - let me know if you do. Something deeply philosophical about the minimalism - could go a lot of cool and expansive ways musically.

@berni1954 1w

Super simple lyrics that work well. I am guessing you submitted this to the No Chorus challenge, did you?
