Lyrics

By Antennae Cable or Satellite
© 2021 All Words and Music by Warren Hein

Verse 1
If there's a way tonight
I'll reach you through this desert sky
We're short wave lengths too
But they say tonight
I might get through

Verse 2
I'm next if they clear those waves
I'll tell Katy daddy's still ok
I'll tell Jack wash the car
I'll tell you don't watch the news
When the world spins 'round to you
Honey look at the stars

Chorus
Antennae cable or satellite
Gotta hear your sweet voice tonight
I need your sweet voice tonight
No matter by antennae cable or satellite

Verse 3
Now they say I can't get through
They say pack it we gotta move
With all this techno gear
I can only dream
It's you--it's you that I hear

Chorus
Antennae cable or satellite
I need your sweet voice tonight
No matter no matter by antennae cable or satellite
Antennae cable or satellite

Outro
I can only dream
Your sweet sweet voice tonight

Shades of Lou Reed ! Some very interesting chord changes , as per usual Warren !

Warren--You have a great, smooth voice that fits perfectly with this style. Nice work!

This is a very good mix..the fact that it has a few minors chords which give its mysterious,,sad, vibe..over all, the verses and the chorus run together.... more definition would help the whole song in short, nice song but needs definition between verses and chorus other than that.... Good job....

I like this but wanted more of a backstory.
I wanted more specific of why the girl did what she did in the verses and the big payoff in the chorus. Did you like specific instrumental parts--vocals 1) Does my intro make you want to hear the song? yes 2) Does my opening line draw you in and make you want to hear more? yes 3) Is my melody interesting? yes 4) Does my melody get stuck in your head? somewhat 5) Does my chorus stand out and take the song to a higher place? somewhat
