Ideal World (Ft. CoriAnder & Amy Reader)

Story Behind The Song

I came up with a simple but subtle chord progression and melody which needed a romantic, gentle-touch lyric, that would engage the listener. Corin Anderson produced the track perfectly, cleverly sampling my demo to use as the bedrock for the song. Amy Reader provides the stunning vocal.

Lyrics

Every morning try to beat the clock
But I can't slow down
It's so early, I don't get to stop
And my head pounds
Still the bills keep coming
Got to get my feet on firm ground
But I aim for the summit
Reach for the top
Reach for the sky (knowing, knowing, knowing)

There'd be harmony, symphonies
In a ideal world
I'd have time to spare
Wouldn't have to care for anything or anyone but you
I'd hold the golden key
And life would be so free
In an ideal world
I'd have time to spare
And everything I'd share with you
In an ideal world,

Six o'clock, got to hurry, going home now
No time to waste but why should I worry or hesitate (I know, I know, I know)



There'd be harmony, symphonies
In a ideal world
I'd have time to spare
Wouldn't have to care for anything or anyone but you
I'd hold the golden key
And life would be so free
In an ideal world (knowing you'd be here)
I'd have time to spare
And everything I'd share with you

In an ideal world,
In an ideal world

On a carnival ride, you by my side
In a ideal world
We'd sit and watch the tide
Into water we would dive
You and I, you and I
Troubles pass us by

In an ideal world (you and I, you and I)
In an ideal world (troubles pass us by)

Really well arranged and instrumented piece. Great voice. Intro is very good. All in all, a very intriguing and well done song.

Very well sung. Very recognizable and fun! A bit of an 80's vibe to it. The recording is professional and consistent. The singer has a distinctive voice which is a real asset in the current market. The song is unique as a stand alone song. Even though it has a mellow and relaxed vibe, there is still a positive vibe present in the song.

I dig it. Vocal tone is clear and pretty.
Good fit for the genre. It's real chill.
Mix is good.

Good quality recording. Good intro and song builds nicely and appropriately. Very good vocal, nice voice and tone and great production. Outstanding song potential, very nice subject, lyrics and vocal delivery. Best of luck, this music is fresh, positive and cutting edge!
