I always notice little things after the track gets posted--but doesn't Clarice, the vocalist here, sound an awful lot like Samantha Fox here?  I'm getting a "But then again...maybe THAT could be fun?" vibe from this.  (That being a spoken word sample from Sam's track "I Wanna Have Some Fun", which features Full Force...and was included that was Interbay track "Fun Baby", which was last year's special New Year's Eve track.)  It could also just be me.

A track I composed a while ago and just finished it now with addition of female vocals originally a solo piano piece I added some organ and beats and samples here we are lol enjoy!

Thunder on an sunny day

Today was an interesting day.  I woke up thinking I had "Before It's All Over" pretty much ready to go, just needed to source one vocal sample that I dreamt about while the rough track played over and over in the headphones I was wearing when I fell asleep during production.  

I'm not saying my lifestyle is healthy, but it is what it is.  

Anyway, this track is now being posted around 7:30pm (my time) rather than first thing in the morning, like I thought could be possible.  And somehow, the song has managed to gain two additional minutes from where I thought it was ready to go, but for one sample.  

And I couldn't find the sample I wanted.  (Not true--I found it, I just couldn't snag it.)  

So, all of the spoken word you hear in this song, I came up with today--and trying to structure around this in a way that made it feel like a song instead of just some cool bits and pieces is what stretched the song out.  

I think it works better than what I had.  It certainly has better structure--but, by spreading things out, the track also gained a melancholy vibe--odd, for what is, ostensibly a funky house track (or a housey funk track, if you'd prefer.)  

...and, that melancholy vibe certainly fits the title and lyrics, even if the upbeat funk stuff really doesn't.  I could explain this away, that the energy is the turbulence of facing the end of something...but that would be a contrivance.  (A good one, but still...)  

So this track has some disco strings, some funk horns, all sorts of drums, singing, speaking, synths, two different basses--one a funky bass guitar, the other the famous Korg M1 organ played on its lowest notes.  I think the arrangement is kind of cool--and not typically Interbay (except for the length and the twists and turns I force the song into--I mean, why does the "Think" break get dropped in this?  Only I know...and I'm not sure I do.  

(...because one particular drum section reminded me of that break, so I thought I'd try to incorporate that somehow.  I think...)  

Now, it is up to you to decide.  Is this song about the end of relationship?  It certainly seems that way.  Or, does the thumbnail hint at a different meaning?  One a bit darker than even the end of a relationship?  Could be.  Again, I will leave it up to you to decide.  As far as the thumbnail goes, perhaps communism really was just a red herring.  

As always, I'd appreciate your ears, your enthusiasm and your thoughts.  Listen, like, repost, share, comment, playlist and, most of all follow this page for more Interbay.  Something special is coming up soon, and I wouldn't want you to miss it--or any of the brand new Interbay tracks dropping every single day (so far!)
