Description:
My Neighbor Sarah Gurr sang on this one and a friend from Sacramento named Scott Lyons did the beats. A song about dating.

Lyrics:

Thought I’d pick up the line and call you
Say hey it’s me, how the hell are you
Do ya wanna go find something to do

Been so bored just hangin out today
Just wanting so bad to get away
Got nothing that special to do or to say

There must be someplace you’d like to go
Grab us some dinner, catch a show
Take in the beat of the big city tonight


The weekend’s starting up today
Would you like to try to get away?
We could leave here right now, so, what do you say

If my old car starts, I’ll give you a ride
Stop by your place pick you up
groove on some tunes from my radio

There must be someplace that you wanna go
Grab us some dinner, catch a show
So tell me now, what do you wanna do

And You say

Downtown
Lets go downtown

interesting chord changes and such. that down town vocal thing at the
end is th bombl is that a vocoder or sumtin? it's cool however ya did it.

ahhhhh.... ya made my day! Yeah, this song was inspired from my single
bachelor days in San Francisco. I loved going downtown as well. To answer
your question: The effect on the response vocals at the end is a slight chorus
effect. The effect on the main vocal at the end is a heavy dark echo and some
reverb. Thanks for listening!
