Soooo Blue is my 19th single. This single contains two songs. First song, Soooo Blue's genres are Folk rock / Singer-songwriter. The mood is Sad and the styles are Acoustic / Ballad. 81 BPM. I wanted to create a love song that is as atmospheric and modern as possible. Therefore, I referenced Beck SEA CHANGE. I was most influenced by that. I've been creating music all by myself in my room, and I don't really go out of the house very often, But I dream of falling in love with someone someday. I expressed my imaginary love with this song. Second song, Catch The Sun is an uplifting song. The genres are Folk rock / Singer-songwriter. The mood is Happy and the style is Holiday with laid-back groove. 111 BPM. I was most influenced by The Byrds. Vocal harmony reminiscent of bands from the 60s and 70s what was created by overdubbing the main melody is the highlight. I want the audience to listen to both songs when they have time to relax, such as before going to bed. I want the audience to enjoy the acoustics of both songs, so I would like them to use speakers or headphones.
