Speed Speed

I worked on all my songs with my American friend and songwriter Daniel. We dealt with them one by one. This is what he replied to me when he got the first version of Speed Speed. The mail was longer, I’m only sharing the first part (the rest was Work Work!). 

Daniel always starts with a review and this one is particularly nice:

“Hi Aline,

I really like the reggae feel. The band will have even more fun with this one.

I’m guessing that you were an impatient child, bugging your mom (and everyone else). The song suggests you might still be a bit like that.

One thing stands out: in the chorus the voice starts “late”, plus it’s only six measures instead of the normal eight. So it’s destabilising in an interesting and very cool way.

Favorite line:

I do what I can and I 

Take what I take

(…)

Daniel”

And yes, I confirm, I’m still “a bit like that”. Some may say “a lot like that”. Let me call it ‘energy’!
