CANDY is a song I wrote a while ago, at the start of this year, I had this idea of a pop-funk-jazz fusion feel of a song, and this is it. I paid very close attention to the arrangement of the song, which is the differentiation factor. I recorded the rhythm section together, and then the melodic sections separately.

The song can be summarised as "something normal but unusual". I took the typical arrangement, and changed what's usually in them, it's like peeling the skin of a banana and finding a cucumber in it, something usual, a banana, but unusual, a cucumber in it.

The arrangement of the entire song is something that's common, intro-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus, but tweaked. The intro starts with the drums, then everyone together, and then there's a sudden stop followed by some wind chimes, which gives the sparkly, sweet effect, relating back to the title of the song itself. The 2nd PC of the song has no vocals in it, which surprises the listener at first, but then they're met with the twinkle of the e piano. The listener is then brought back to home base with the chorus.

The feel of the song is mostly pop-funk-jazz. The vocal melody is taken from pop inspiration, the groove is taken from funk, and the organ touch is the jazz kind of feel to it.

I recorded the drums, bass and guitar rhythm together (a nightmare of cables and mics), MIDI in the keys and organ, and recorded the vocals separately. I sent the musicians a minimal demo of just drums and bass, and asked them to add some of their own touch to the song, which turned out great. At the last chorus, I asked them to just vibe out and play to their heart's content (idk how to phrase it but that sounded right).

Lyrics:

V1:
Oh baby
How they got you looking so fine
From the top of your nose
To the bottom of your toes, yeah baby
Won’t you just come on and be mine

PC1:
Time came to a standstill
When you stepped into the room
Eyes on you like a bank bill
When you smiled we all went boom

C1:
Hair so silky smooth
Damn it’s all on you, baby
You’re so sweet, it’s true
Candy, it’s just you

V2:
Take you on a date, girl
Treat you right with a golden plate
And if you’re not satisfied 
Come to my place and take me on a ride

PC2:
*INSTRUMENTAL*

C2:
Hair so silky smooth
Damn it’s all on you, baby
You’re so sweet, it’s true
Candy, it’s just you

B:
When it comes down to you
Everything I say is true I hope to see you walking my way
If not my whole world would turn grey

C3:
Hair so silky smooth
Damn it’s all on you, baby
You’re so sweet, it’s true
Candy, it’s just you

#kthxbye
