Electronic dance pop original “Massive” was fun to make. Not easy, but fun.
Played it for someone, and she said, “Oh that sounds so… ’80s.” I certainly don’t try to reference a certain genre or time period in my music, but I am certainly influenced by what I call the great awakening of music in my life. In a time when American pop was stale and tired (to my ears anyway) New Order, Depeche Mode and so many others came along and completely turned my world upside down. It was so different than Bruce and Madonna. Wonderfully different.
So electronic dance pop can mean so many things to folks. I love the music made today, but I certainly can’t help that these first electronic bands that paved the way still don’t have sway over my creative approach. Anyway, here’s the song. I’d love for you to give it a listen.
Is it possible to completely escape what you have heard when it comes to song creation? I don’t think so. I have to continue to listen to a lot of different artists and continue to learn from them. I certainly don’t want to always continue repeating something that has already been heard/done before.
The term electronic dance pop is limited, but for the sake of defining it for those who haven’t heard it before, I will continue to try to use words to describe music. Others can do this much, much better than me.
Again, I hope you enjoy and please feel free to get in touch with any questions. My email is here.
Electronic Dance Pop Original “Massive” Lyrics
(Before you fade away, before you become melody
you’re gonna break my heart)
it’s not a distant memory
were captured from the start
played our roles til epilogue
a few acts fell apart
projecting image on a screen
for a theater of one
the last reel is a desert scene
where i’m choking on the dust
you call cut…
before you drift away, before you become memories
i need to say goodbye
before you break my heart before you light fire to our scenes
I hold you one last time
we lived inside a cinema the world a movie score
and before the credits start to roll
you’re walking out the door
