Liner Notes

Had this melody in my head for awhile and realized it matched the current Song Fight title pretty well. It was one of those songs that felt kind of cheesy to write until I realized that I needed to hear the lyrics.

Lyrics

Draw the curtains open wide
Let the light in, chase away the night
All my demons set aside
No more fear in me, today I
Will live my truth, it's me I choose 'cause I know how to fly

I don't need luck where I'm going
I got all of my strength within me
Though I got no way of knowing
What the next trial will be
And even though the road's never ending, I am not pretending, 'cause I know, oh
I don't need luck

Never felt like this before
And I won't look back once I walk out the door
Like a ship that's leaving shore
I am not the same, no not anymore
It's like a storm that's hitting home but I can reach the sky

I don't need luck where I'm going
I got all of my strength within me
Though I got no way of knowing
What the next trial will be
And even though the road's never ending, I am not pretending, 'cause I know, oh
I don't need luck

I don't need luck, I don't need luck
I don't need luck, I don't need luck
I don't need luck, I don't need luck
I don't need luck, I don't need luck

I don't need luck where I'm going
I got all of my strength within me
Though I got no way of knowing
What the next trial will be
And even though the road's never ending, I am not pretending, 'cause I know, oh
I don't need luck

I don't need luck, I don't need luck
I don't need luck, I don't need luck
I don't need luck, I don't need luck
I don't need luck, I don't need luck

I just realized I didn't comment on your song. It has a tasty, tasty pop flavor that hits just right.

@orinthebard 9w

Love the sparkly pop production 💖 The ascending melody on the prechorus is addicting. Motivating lyrics. Overall very catchy 😊

@itoarazi 9w

This is a BANGER!! Love your vocals, love the dream sounds, love it all!!

@andrea 9w

I am always ready for a 'I will conquer anything' song. We can all use the power of positive self-belief. Super catchy melodies and lovely vocals. I'm pretty sure I love all of your songs - love it!

@gwynjones 9w

A superb Pop anthem with great vocals, a catchy melody, a fabulous production and a strong, positive and identifiable message!

@brisk 9w

Wow, really tasty pop. Love this naggy bass. It's just such a catchy, uplifting offering. Lovely production, tasteful, all working in the same direction. The harmonies and vocal line they support is so sweet - but I don't mean saccarine sweet, I mean just right, goldilocks style. Very impressed by this one.

@odilongreen 9w

So anthemic! Stirring and soaring and just an utterly uplifting, with a little tinge of sadness but strength, perhaps. A complex stew of emotions, and I am totally here for it!

@beacon 9w

This is a bop, and I'm here for it. Love all the layers and it makes me happy.

@miga 9w

This is a really catchy song with a great melody. It could be a pop hit! It also has an uplifting message - a real keeper! Nice work.
And I know what it's like to write a song and realize you wrote what you needed to hear.

@funnypunkband 9w

I really like synths. They add a nice texture beneath your vocals. Really catchy melodies through, I especially like the chorus. I can imagine people dancing to this and getting to the chorus and being like “yes!”

@scubed 9w

Love this! I really needed to hear something optimistic and inspiring today, so thank you for that. As always, your vocals and musical production are fantastic.

@cts 9w

Robyn - I must know what reverb fx you're using for the 1st lead. I've been hearing something akin to what you've got working here. I love the chorus and the mix is pretty sweet. I like the message behind the music too. This arrangement is making me make the "funk face". You rock, sista. You really do!

@jerrypettit 10w

Wait--we're not supposed to write "cheesy stuff"???? ;-)

Which this isn't--and this truly is a terrific melody. I struggle most with melody when I'm coming up with a song. I'm going to have to experiment with starting from melody--instead of literally leaving it as the final step of my "process".

Great job!

@everythingben 10w

Love the rise and fall melody at the end of each verse and the lyrics having a positive and uplifting sentiment. And those harmonies are lush.

@billwhite51 10w

good to hear a fearless voice deny the illusions of good and bad fortune , realizing its all within oneself to achieve what is desired,

@coolparadisoMod 10w

Great beat kicks this a long! I like teh slower pace in this! and the way you lengthen some of the words! love the way it picks up and back to that demanding beat. cool message delivered so well! oh and those double vox

@gm7 10w

I'm glad you got that wonderful melody out of your head. Great message.

@davidtaro 10w

Love the melody and harmonies on the line leading into the chorus (which is a total banger btw!). Excellent polished production, that subtle insistent bass synth is particularly cool. My foot started tapping involuntarily about half way through, great track!
