Hey gang,

I just recovered from covid and got back to work, singing lesson and some songwriting today. I made this chorus in a few hours today, question is, should I go this semi-comedic route with it or write something else for the responses/or maybe just make them sung? Not gonna lie tho I kinda like the screaming, gets the message across. Let me know what you think!


Btw I have a levels video we never released, I might show it to you guys soon and ask what you think we should do with it :)


Anyway LYRICS:

You're so far out of my league

Whatcha doin here with me?

Whatcha doin, whatcha doin

HAVE YOU SEEN ME?

Whatcha doin, whatcha doin

Aah

You're so far out of my league

Whatcha doin here with me?

Whatcha doin, whatcha doin

DO YOU NEED NEW GLASSES?

Whatcha doin, whatcha doin

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

This sounds like it belongs on a late 80s action movie soundtrack….

Mari

I mean I'm here for it but it does give major broadway musical vibes not gonna lie 🤭

Expired Coupon

I love it! So frickin’ relatable. I know I’ve said these exact words before 😆

Roomie

lol that's a fair shout tbh! Question is... Is that bad. I can also see it being quite a funny song to use on social media

rosie - o.

The shouting is really fun, ngl 😂 glad that you've recovered from covid!

Michael L Tobin

also a few B-52's songs with yelled lyrics...it does work :)

Dannielle O'Neill

I mean this in the best way...I think I'd go the comedic way with it because it feels like a song you'd sing at Karaoke when you get drunk with your friends after someone screwed you over.

Trushakes

Gave me a good laugh!

Airyckah Lane

Ummm… it can be 😬😂 depends how you planned to flesh this out and how it fits in with the surrounding music

Mari

It's not bad at all! I'm very much into it being someone who LOVES the live theater and always get huge kick out of the songs that are comedic like this in musical productions. It's fun and feel good and like idk something you could sing and scream along to 💛

Helga 🦊

I like that lyrics are quite different from what you usually write 😄 Good that you feel better!

Melissa

The more spoken lines make it seem comedic... I'd go that route. Definitely made me smile, in the best way possible. I needed that. Thank you for sharing and glad you're feeling better.

Dannielle O'Neill

100% This is totally tiktok compatible. Ppl could duet the shit out of it if it's done right in the comedy direction.

AnovaSig

If you don’t make a short video to accompany this, I feel like it’s a wasted opportunity. They way the yelling feels/sounds, kickstarts my brain to imagine it visually. It’s late-ish and it might not make sense but that’s the best I got!

Alle Engdahl

Definitely keep the shouting, makes it more fun!

emy

Lol! It hits me as a full-on comedy song right now. I would be curious to know how it sounds with those parts sung, or sung with different processing of the vocals. Agree that it needs some kind of separate character from the other vocals for sure. I don’t think I’d listen to it as a song with the screams, even though it made me laugh.

emy

That’s so true! I ‘get’ the yelling so much more if I think of it with some kind of visual

AnovaSig

Right, like it might actually rely on being a visual because it’s “goofy” sounding? Goofy in a positive sense. Not a weird, creep Disney sense…

x0_Kristin_0x

Hahaha I like the funny songs, I'm a 'the lonely island' lover at heart. Totally up to whatever vibe you're feeling. If you're feeling like having fun with it, I say embrace it. You've had a number of deep song demo's lately that I relate to way too much so I for one appreciate some comedic relief 😂.

Dannielle O'Neill

NGL...the yelling made my sore throat hurt just thinking about "singing along". Lol I'm glad you're feeling up to it.

Sugary Magnolia

Lol I like it! You have a very get-off-my-lawn type of yelling voice 😆

Kat

Yeah, I definitely think this would be hilarious with responses. Maybe, if you still wanna sing them, you could do melodic backgrounds under the spoken lines. Just sitting in the back. Lol, like there's just one guy shouting over the rest of the rest of the group. I guess whether or not it worked would depend on the melody 🤔 anyway. I vote comedic song either way.

Cas

I love your songs with humor and the screaming makes this unique. Please keep it at some level! Glad you are feeling better.

Ousht

Hah, I love this. Like others have said, definitely keep the screaming, super fun. 😁 Glad you’re feeling better!

Lianne Conroy

The yelling made me laugh. I like it as a chorus. But make the verses like super serious to make it even funnier

Magalie Leplus

I'm glad to hear you're better. I like the comedic takes you have here, that's fun.The shouting is definitely to keep, it works well.

JustSomeJK

Those screams lol 😂 I see it more like a comedy thing with them. I would like to hear response to that, preferably with screams 🤪 something like "I'm not the one needing new glasses, it's u who need to see yourself more clearer" or something with a different voice 🤪 Yay levels video 😊 Happy to hear that you have recovered from your 4th round with covid and back to business 😊💙

Clair (Teampanda)

I remember shouty moments in the ol' days, like the skit for "inside of you" 🤣 I think the juxtaposition of soft spoken word vs loud could work well, especially with a funny video attached, like Chance heckling your partners choices of choosing you! I do like your angry outside voice for some reason... *indecent thoughts of Joel being all dominant and Alpha 😝😝😝😝

Courtney Walker

I love the comedic take on it. Such a fun concept. I also like the shouting - just brings uniqueness and personality that you don't normally hear in music.

xtina 🖤

I love when you do screamy stuff. I imagine this as a comedy thing or tiktok thing, kinda has a “weird science” or that one song from “brave little toaster vibe”.. lol. However, just my opinion, I kinda think ya should lean into it more serious. I love the lyrics.. it’s relatable to feel like someone is out of your league or too good for you, and that could be made into a relatable, cool and fun pop song, maybe with sarcastic vibes- kind of like how you did with “oh summer”. Anyway, glad you are feeling better and are having fun with music!

loonylovesgood

LMAO you sound like Weird Al. (That’s a compliment, btw). Also, I’d be really excited to see that Levels video!!

Misty Gerkman

Agree with others! Love the way it is 💕

Stephanie Bruso

Do you check the community tab Joel? That project told me two weeks and you ignored me. I have been going through a tough time and now this makes me feel way worse when I’m ignored

Mari

You need to get a grip. His life does not revolve around you or any of us. He was sick the past week+ and is probably playing catch up with the time he lost. Not everything is about you jfc

Ave Castruita

Glad you feel better. Song is fun... nice to hear how you can go wherever you feel like without restrictions, i dig it!

Calize

I like it 😅 didn’t think I would but it sounds like you. Just your personality that shines through, love it!

Aubrey Danielle

Hey hun, it sounds like the man has been recovering from being sick so I think that’s understandable. You did a really great job with the project! 🙂 Very organized! I’m always a DM away on Discord if you need ☺️❤️

Hayley

Glad you feel better. Now end this love affair you have with Covid- 4 times is enough already! I love this by the way. Very Joel-esque. Although my God you are so down on yourself 😂 The song kind of reminds me of Somebody's Watching Me by Rockwell, not entirely sure why but that's what's in my head now. Although it is early here and I've just woken up. Time for coffee. Keep it up, glad to see you're back doing what you love (although I am looking forward to videos too) x x

Jen 🦙

Glad you're feeling better after COVID, starting to think that contracting the virus post pandemic might be your unnecessary speciality though! 😂 I love this sound and concept wise, just sat laughing for a couple of minutes at the screams. It's giving real comical vibes but with a personal insight attached. That said, try not to go too hard on yourself lyrically!

Arinion

Don't over do it with screaming but it's really funny 😂 and 👍

Elke

Shouting makes it stand out, keep it 😄 Glad to hear you’re feeling better!

Jessistache_73

The lyrics are very unrelatable for me personally but they are silly and fun! It reminds me of those videos you made using comments to write songs (a la Let's Invade Norway). I can even see the music video for this song now lol My favorite line is the "Whatcha doin, whatcha doin" bit. So catchy!

Dorie

Even though I knew it was coming based on your description, the shouting still caught me by surprise and made me laugh. I think stick with the comedy on this one. 😀

Luna

lol I missed this kind of songs from you - I'd love to hear more :D

Jureth

I like the screaming too ! I think you should continue on this semi-comedic way 😊

MediocreAtBest

Glad you're feeling better! Really like this one so far, can definitely imagine a skit video going along with it. Relatable and funny, think most of us have that quiet (or sometimes shouty) mean voice in our heads.

Amberlash

Happy to hear you are feeling better, Joel! I love this. Love the yelling. The contrast of your nice singing voice and the yelling is awesome. Ty for the laugh and I would love to hear this as a full song. Good stuff.

Mari

lol omg don't ever change, Joel. Love ya 💛

Stephanie Bruso

First of all, I would like apologize to the Roomie Community. I’m definitely on edge. This a great song. It reminds of my childhood show Phineas and Ferb. This was Isabella’s catchphrase. They even wrote a song with the same exact title. Haha https://youtu.be/SMRNQ5mRoqE

Annelies

Hihi, like the song 😁. See it being used in comedic setting/videos. I'm still suprised by the different singingstyles you use in one song😍 Real talent! 😉

Adina

First…you had covid again?? Second, about the song, the shouty bits are funny, the parts you actually sing are very much as you usually sing, I am very curious if for this being a comedic song you would have tried something else, I know you don’t like the whispery voice but maybe for this one it would work as a contrast? I like the lyrics a lot

Bookdragon 43

Glad that you are feeling better! I can definitely see this song being used in a comedy skit. I love the song, especially the Do You Need New Glasses shouty part !💗😊👏👍

Candyland20bp1

glad you have recovered. I love this so far.I feel like asking those kinda questions when anyone dated me lol.

Brandt

The melody and harmonies are really very good. I want to keep listening to the song. The melody can stand alone, together with your voice. But, I have always loved the songs where you have added your comedic touch, so I kind of hope you keep the shouts.

PhantomFidget

* Listening & Doin Noises * 🐺🐾

Stephanie Bruso

I hope you’re not mad at me Joel. This was a great song. It made laugh especially when I needed it the most.

Alle Engdahl

69th comment because I’m so mature

Gayle

Agree the screaming is good. I wish there was more real instruments, but I do like what is here for the moment. I understand your perfectionism will want to change the tempo, add more voices....but this blurb is fun. Thank you, and glad you are feeling better....love you
