about

This is a rehearsal of my song "Talk to Me", recorded on my Android phone in one of the Victoria University rehearsal rooms at Kindred Studios.

Recorded on 21 October 2019

This song is the opening track on my concept album of the same name, which is about communication. The song is an upbeat number about wanting to have conversations with other people, and is also about the nervousness I get when I talk to girls.

In the choruses, I sing the main (lowest) melody. Kaitlyn sings the middle harmony and Melody sings the higher harmony.

In the coda, I start scat singing (3:47-4:18) before the others join in [Kaitlyn from 4:19-4:48, and Melody from 4:50 to the end].

lyrics

Watching the world go by
Drifting past in a blur
Well, I wanna talk to you
And see things from your point of view

Watching the world go by
Drifting past in a blur
Well, I wanna talk to you
And see things from your point of view

So come on now, talk to me
Communication is all I need
Ooh, would you talk to me?
Would you talk to me?

It's nothing but hesitation
The nerves are driving me mad
And when I gain the courage to speak to you
Oh, it really ain't so bad

So come on now, talk to me
Communication is all I need
Ooh, would you talk to me?
Would you talk to me?

Then you respond with a smile
And those strange feelings slip away
Well I'm full of joy, for a while
Oh, you make me feel so good in so many ways

So come on now, talk to me
Communication is all I need
Ooh, would you talk to me?
Would you talk to me?
