nice tune, Vassilis! sounds great overall!

Well produced, good voice, the slight chorus on it is almost distracting, but only because I notice it... the end is nicely unexpected.

Really a nice track with an outstanding chorus!

Thanks for sharing the link, very nice to got back to this cool track after  while again. The effect  on vocals is awesome

Great lyrics and songwriting! nice work!!!

Beatiful melody of vocals. Very impressive instrumentation)

Hey, you! Why? Just say no!
Hey, Why?! Just say no!

Some people are strange
They think it's harder to say no politely
Than simply to perform all the requests they receive
(What a shame!)

You know what I mean,
Asking is a right, but answering is a duty
In this world,
Understanding each other immediately
A Yes Syndrome,
I hope you’ll really tell me what you think
Totally,
A message that I would like to spread to everyone
Hey, why? Just say no!
Hey, you! Just say no!

Come with me, come to the place where people really say what they think,
Help me to spread this to everyone
Hey, you! Why? Just say no!
Hey, you! Just say no!
Hey, why? Just say no!
Hey, why?! Just say no!

MAKE FRIENDS WITH GORILLA
Music by Overdrive and Stargoon

The song Make Friends With Gorilla is the result of a team effort and was composed in collaboration with the amazing band Stargoon. 

The initial idea was to produce the electro background for one of Stargoon's songs. It was then that the composer Shayne O'Neill introduced me to the demo of "Make Friends With Gorilla". The song was great and I spent a lot of time creating different electro versions, experimenting with beats and bass lines, but none of them sounded really interesting. I came to the inevitable conclusion that any change too abruptly would take away from the beauty of the original track, and perhaps the best solution was a remix. This way the original track could be released intact and still get a remix.

"Just do whatever you think works best," was Shayne's response. Man, you don't say that to someone who is desperate (lol). After that I completely abandoned the electronic versions and went for a mix of punk rock (!), anime music (!!) and orchestra (!!!)

This remix was by far one of the biggest challenges I've had to date, because it forced me to experiment with a crossover of styles outside the electro bubble.

I hope you enjoy the result.

Stargoon is the fantastic musical project created by the duo Shayne O'Neill and Ceridwyn "Sunny" Roberts-Floyd. The band has post-prog pop influences and was once defined as Hawkwind meets Devo. In my opinion, Stargoon's sound is completely original, a rare gem. I am an outspoken fan of the duo's work.

Their excellent debut album, The Gift, is well worth checking out:

I also recommend a visit to the SC profile of Shayne O'Neill, composer, musician and UFO pilot. His musical genius is indisputable:

Lyrics
MAKE FRIENDS WITH GORILLA

Make friends with make friends with her, they said
Make friends with the piece they said
He doesn't intend to smash Tokyo.
He just wants to find love.
He just wants to find love.
This city takes everything we love.
This city is falling

Make peace with the gorilla man
Make peace with make peace with the gorilla man
He doesn't want to break with his hands
He just wants to go home
He just wants to go home
This city has ruined all the things that bring joy
This city must be destroyed

Make friends with make friends with make friends with the lizard king
Make peace with make peace with the lizard king
He doesn't want to crush Tokyo
He just wants happy times
He just wants happy times
This city has taken all the good times
This city is leaving

Make Friends With Gorilla (feat. Stargoon)

Vassilis is an independent singer/songwriter based in Manchester, UK.

Having established himself as a seasoned musician with a great deal of live performances to his credit in the last 20 years, Vassilis has recently caused a sensation as a recording artist as well. Since his debut single, the 2020 self-produced track ‘A Quest For Long Lost Memories’, he has released a series of well-received songs as well as a 5-track EP titled ‘Return To Innocence’.

In these songs, Vassilis explores the beauty of everyday life through the lens of a curious, attentive observer, who uses music as a way of understanding the world and furthering an alternative - but not concrete - set of ideas about it. Songs like ‘Better Days Are Here’, ‘All We Have Is Now’ and ‘Are You Ready To Move On?’ have showcased his ability to write memorable melodies and to deliver them vocally with a warm, evocative and unpretentious voice.

His sound, ranging from indie folk to rock to dream pop, can perhaps be described as a blend of guitar-driven pop music distinguished by melodic elements, such as vocal harmonies, atmospheric keys and reverberating guitar hooks.

With his back catalogue now available on all digital platforms, Vassilis continues to craft songs that reflect his vision and true commitment to his art.
