Really raw cut, jumping straight into full rhythm and heavily distorted bass sound playing the main bass riff from the begining. Second bass riff comes in second half of the song,  and the heavy bass is present completely whole song, except of a couple of seconds at the end where I play just one tone of that bass sound. 

This whole song took me around 5 hours to make, and I didn't even plan to make a song today. Luckily got that bass riff in my head all morning and couldn't get rid of it. And funnily I opened a file with one melody in it - it's the  main one ( or the chorus if you will), which I made long time ago (don't even remember doing it). All the rest I made on the spot.

I played with kick sound for about 20 minutes, chose kind of earthy echo kick by combination of 3 different hit sounds. Then I played with bass sound for another 20 minutes. This time I went raw into all the knobs available and tried to shift them up and down. I came into pretty magical button "release" which made a magic around at around 50-52%, and the rest is 2 hours of listening to one loop of bass and kick (and lots of dancing to it)

Then I came back to that old melody, finished it, made a relatively simple variation and designed a pretty neat structure where all riffs kind of click and keep the show going. All piano and nothing else.  

Towards the end I introduce new bass riff with new bass sound. I do a very short dip at that point, where I switch off and reintroduce snare, hi-hat and then old  bass sound - but this time not playing the riff, but only one tone - E2 with last four being the octave (E3).

At the very end I reintroduce the bass riff from beginning for only four times and then I play pure E2 with the first bass sound. I wanted a party from the go and as long as possible, so I didn't do any intro. Although there's only one rhythm playing whole song, it's very energetic, upbeat and good reason to boogie. 

Moreover, the end and the beginning are pretty good fit, so if you play this song on the repeat, then it sort of sounds like a never ending song. So I hope you enjoy that, and leave a comment if you feel like it. 

Sounds I used:
- kick - trap door (first, second, and footsteps)
          - and modern 909 (first kick)  -  four sounds altogether
- snare - pile driver (electronic)
- hi-hat - modern 808 (electronic)
- bass 1 - massive grime bass (bass) - grimey (cutoff - at 51%)
- bass 2 - pumping out waves (rhythmic) - bold pulse
- piano - grand piano (keyboards)

4. Paddy Brings Peace To My World  - my other grandfather was a Wellington pilot in the RAF during World War Two. He sadly died in 1943 so I never met him. His death left a huge impact on my grandmother (who never married again) and my dad. She said he was very loving and thoughtful and felt he would have been thinking about them right to the end. That’s the approach in this song. His nickname for her was Paddy. No idea why!  Mastered by RCD Audio. 
Paddy brings peace to my world 

Crete below us, and in this night sky
Angry fires around us as we fly
They want to stop us but they can’t win
Got to see the ones we love again  

Duralumin beams form a latticed frame
Carry and protect us from flack and shells and flame 
We’re just so frightened, five anxious scared young men
Just want to see our homes again 

And I pray that they’re safe
I did what I could 
Took leave and followed Anderson’s plans
and dug 3 metres into the Surrey soil 
14 pieces of aluminium, a small sump in the floor 
All I could do to protect them from this damn war 

Because 
This crazy world has lost its mind
Angry, cruel, insane!
Paddy brings peace to my world
She soothes and she calms and she’s kind
I keep her here, in my heart and my mind
Paddy brings peace to my world 

A publishers accountant , a chippie and two clerks
and a teacher all together, up here in the dark
We’re doing our duty, the best we can
But we’ve taken too much damage and I doubt we’ll land 

Radio messages, saying we’re on fire and losing height 
We’re trying to put them out, we’re all paralysed with fright
Just trying to make it back

And I’m imagining what’s next for her
She’ll be told at first that we’re missing
Maybe dead, or prisoners of war
But she’ll never give up on me 
That’s why I’m trying to make it back 
to Paddy 

Because 
This crazy world has lost its mind
Angry, cruel, insane!
Paddy brings peace to my world
She soothes and she calms and she’s kind
I keep her here, in my heart and my mind
Paddy brings peace to my world

This is a remake version of my song. Original one was my acoustic guitar & vocal. And I tried to make this song more enjoyable with some arrangement.
Thank you so much for all the listening and very nice encouraging words

Lyrics 
We’ve been wasting time
Struggle wastes your love
I feel (feeling) you fall on ground
Shadowy days fall on you
I’m so ,,, waiting for you…
I can’t keep my eyes off from you
And I hold old love
You must be beautiful for ever

We’ve been wasting time
Struggle wastes your love
Stay with me for now
Find your way so close
I’m so,,,waiting for you
I can’t keep my eyes off from you
When I  hold old love
You must be beautiful for ever
Oh　(the) life will be fine
I can believe in all your fate
You can feel it for now
A cloud is flow
(When)Open your eyes forward
I can’t tell you why
I’m so ,,,waiting for you
I can’t keep my eyes off from you
When I  hold old love
You must be beautiful for ever

Waiting For You
