Song Demo: Suffer
Added 2024-02-04 20:49:28 +0000 UTCThis is what I've been working on this weekend! Lemme know what you think. Verse is gibberish, chorus I'm kinda ok with, maybe some variations in the lyrics the second time could be in order tho.
One interesting thing I tried was straight 8th notes in the chorus on top of a triplet beat, at "messing up my rhythm...", making it a bit meta. I like it, haven't heard that done before. Kinda nerdy.
Enjoy! :D

Iโd wish you put more of your demos out. I love them.

2024-05-11 04:30:51 +0000 UTCthis is really good actually. Might balance so that the voice comes out more than the music. The music is meant to be background. You should be able to hear the voice with a computer or phone that's just been popped out of the box. Not having to fiddle with settings too much. other than that I love it.

2024-02-05 23:19:40 +0000 UTCWas just thinking about another possible verse: in the dark not pausing for any clarity. Acting on the shadows, the illusions we thought we were seeing. Now as the light seeps in slowly we break free and see the truth.....I hope they work. โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ๐๐๐

2024-02-05 19:22:40 +0000 UTCSorry, but I had an idea for a verse: when I look at the picture I just understand what is wrong , why does it look like something is missing. Can it be that it's supposed to be we two and not just me in the picture..... โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ๐๐๐ I'm trying to get ready for work and just wanted to write this before I forgot. I don't always remember to write, but I do think a lot and some really good stuff comes through. I'd have a book by now, but when I sit to write, I don't remember what I wanted to write. So, this is me trying to get better this year and write the stuff down. Who knows I maybe an Ernest Hemingway or Shakespeare.....

2024-02-05 17:12:13 +0000 UTCJoel, so very sexy. Channeling emotions and just synthesizing all that power...so very seductive and sexy. The rhythm that you chose and tempo adds to this overall grabbing at ones core....at least for me. Just want to reach out and dance with that special person to this, whisper the words into their ear, add a few of your own. Put this on repeat and just be in the moment. Just really putting out how this gets me. Joel, in a way the industry is an idiot to let you be you in a contract. They will at some point be begging. This newer stuff that you are producing is just so wonderful. You amaze me, put me in an awe of really talented you are, and I know there's more amazing music within you that I'm excited to hear. I swear I'm not just saying that in relation to how much I love you....it's more because I love you I feel compelled to let you know how truly amazing you are in my eyes. Within my heart, it's close to the rhythm of this song. Thank you โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ๐๐๐

2024-02-05 13:06:57 +0000 UTCHell yeah! I love this 2024 Joel with fight mode on ๐ฅ Suffer (no more) seems perfect message and kind of motivation for me too, because last 2 month were truly disasterโฆ So thank you Joel for being you, and sharing your music and thoughts with us ๐ค It makes my life much more bearable on so many levels

2024-02-05 08:29:14 +0000 UTCThatโs the one!! I was thinking it reminded me of stevie wonder but couldnโt find the song. The vibe is similar, bass riff too, but not suuper close which is nice. I close the clavinet thing because I thought of him
Joel Berghult
2024-02-05 06:54:47 +0000 UTCThe rhythmic disconnect in the chorus combined with the sharpened 6th followed by the synth build up is pretty neat, I like it! This is feeling like an 80s and early 90s comeback simultaneously, pretty cool ๐

2024-02-04 20:54:38 +0000 UTCItโs very boybandesqueโฆ which is a good thing for someone like me.. The โmessin up my rhythm and actin like we are friends againโโฆ how the key drops (is that right?)โฆ thatโs one of my favorite styles/rhythms in songs and really fits there
