Song Demo: 'Everywhere With You'

Hey gang,

Here's a clip of something I've been working on with Nate (BAASIK). It's a cozy, romantic song. Let me know your thoughts, it's early stages so a lot might change! It's definitely leaning towards cheesy but sometimes you just gotta lean in for that stuff, because that's how you feel if you're really in love right? Haha.

Thanks guys :)

Comments

Joel, please let this be one of the songs that you finish!! I love the soft, warm, cozy tone in your voice with this song!! And, yes, if that’s how you’re feeling atm, sometimes you gotta just lean into the cheesiness of the moment. 🥰🥰🫠🫠 Such a beautiful “sound doodle”, Joel. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Melissa Rogers

This singing style really suits you... I enjoy it almost as much as gritty Joel! It's really good, can't wait to hear the full song

Teagan

just wow. O.O

Lejla Kollár

Love this, who is the lucky person? X

Rosann Taylor

I really like this a lot, it has a good beat & ring to the chorus, and, I totally understand it's still early. However, I would like to hear the depth of it expanded a bit with 1) some lower bass - not a ton, obv, it'd totally k*ll the vibe...more like a "heartbeat", if that makes sense, and 2), maybe some higher pitched reverb/echo-y "everywhere" or "with you" softly in the background. This sounds SO good though, and I can't wait to see where you go with it 😊

Holly Baker

Love the cozy vibes for sure 🥰

Aubrey Danielle

I love this! I love a good love song. Bring on the cheese.

Rachael

Maybe I’m too much of a hopeless romantic and enjoy cheese, but the lyrics don’t seem that cheesy. Who wouldn’t want to have a love like that lol. Some people might need to be in a certain mood to listen to it.. but that can go for any type of song really. It definitely has wedding songs vibes 😊

Ash

Air...ILY, but (respectfully) shut yer face. 😉

Dannielle O'Neill

Hey Danni… I count 3 😉😘

Airyckah Lane

ps: This chill medium voice suits you, and is very soothing, I love it... Almost as much as gritty Joel.

Pouet

When I hear this, I'm projecting myself on a beach , nice sunset, no people around, and some sun slighty warming that spf50 skin.

Pouet

I have been waiting for any type of love song that hasn't been a broken heart song so gimme all the cheese. If it's done before October I'll gladly walk down the aisle to it.

Dina Olds

✨ "Glitter" is so rarely used in lyrics it feels like. I like it! Please consider making it a double cheese burger and add chimes on the "glitter" ✨ The LANY vibes are strong with this one and I approve😎👍

Sofie G

The very beginning and the general atmosphere remind me of a song I really like (“Baciami ancora”, by Dari). Lyrics are maybe a bit too simple for my personal taste, but still good and on point, they deliver the message perfectly :) like it a lot, might become my fav one so far, well done!

Amelie Pound

Warm and flowy, like a calm river I just want to float on. I like the smoothness of it and I just love your lower pitched (modal?) vocals. Looking forward to the end result!

Elke

I had a similar thought about the “ I love you and you love me” lyric, especially after listening more closely. It doesn’t seem to fit comfortably.

Shiny

I forget to mention I had my playlist on random yesterday and Dating a Douchebag came on. I haven't heard it in forever but the goosebumps struck and I stopped what I was doing to listen to it. Lyrically you were sending up boy band inspired songs but actually they worked so well because the cheese level wasn't at "I want to crawl inside your body and hug you from the inside" level!! I could listen to you sing it for hours without actually taking in the lyrics because it all marries together so well I just enjoy the listening experience (does that make sense?) Vocally this song is similar, the lower almost whisper vocal give me the feels but somehow it doesn't grab me the same as DADB. Do you ever go back to your older songs for inspiration or do you prefer to start a fresh?

Clair (Teampanda)

Love it like all your and Lil Pitchy's songs and would listen to it all over again, but would also like to write my thoughts about it. If you still experimenting with it, then maybe try another backing music track. As I am not a native English speaker I primarily listen to the music, then to the combination between the music and voice and then to the text. If the text is garbage, then even the best music won't help the song to be better, but it is not the case here. My opinion on this song is, that the singing track isn't coexistant with the music track and the drums. The singing track seems to be in 4/4 and the music track in 8/8 with two intonations/stresses in it. It is actually a 4/8-loop, but you put two of them in one singing bar. I might be wrong, but this is the feeling, which I got from listening to this episode. It leeds me to the sense, that the music hurries up in front of your actual feelings and tries to accelerate your singing. It might fit to some other song, but in my "ears" not to a romantical one. It is for me personally not smooth enough, although your voice and other atmospheric sounds are great. And now some thoughts about the text - do you really want to put "yeah"s in a romantical song? I didn't expect it here :) And last but not least is the text itself, especially the line "cause I love you and maybe you love me". After all your videos where you talk about the depth of the text/words and the primitive lines in many pop songs I haven't expected to hear such lines from you. I expected a little more depth :) Just a little bit. But even these lines are great and are better than no lines and no songs from you. So at last - it would be great if you could try to put another music/beat-loop or maybe to do the song more rocky. Romantic songs are great, when they are rocky and you have a fantastic voice for this genre. But I understand you, if you don't want to try it, because you're aming for another sound.

Lesya

Your voice just makes me feel cozy! I felt that lower register growl in my soul. Please use it more! I really like it ❤️❤️

Jennifer Mendez

Kind of LANY inspired? I enjoy the smooth, cozy feeling of the song for sure.

DiamondK Zee

Something about the beginning of the song is not my favorite, perhaps it's the reverb?? However, I do *love* the chorus and the vocals. Soft and cozy, but with a brightness to it.🥰

Whit-EbullientShrub

It's nice. Like it a lot!

Snuggleisk

I woke up in a pretty crabby mood. Expected a cheesy love song to make me even more crabbier. But it didn’t. I was vibing to it, actually. And now I’m less crabby, so thanks for sharing.

loonylovesgood

Love this song!! Can't wait to hear the full song😍👏👍🎵

Bookdragon 43

Maybe this song is not for me, as well as All of me by John Legend, but that does not mean that it isn't good. I love your voice as always, I hope I can hear the final result soon ☺

Phoebe Grint

I feel attacked by that "haha."

Shannon Kraushaar

2 was definitely my favorite part too 🥺

Jessistache_73

I was thinking the same about the music. My first thought was have I heard this somewhere before? (And I’m not one to really recognize music.)

Tonya Davis

Let's just say I wouldn't be mad if you put out a whole album with songs like this ❤️

Rosa Elena Tachna

The 2000s vibe is STRONG. Lmao. Part of me loves it because I grew up with that, but part of me never grew out of making fun of that sound. I'm leaning toward love it. That "we will remember this" prechorus bit is sooo nice. 🥰 Everyone's already said about the lyrics, and you've already said you're going heavy on the cheese, so I won't comment on those. Can't wait to hear how this builds! I'm excited to hear what all you do with it. 😊

Kat

Alsoooo forgot to mention I’m a sucker for any sort of romantic song sooooo you got me. 😝

Anna

Ok, debated this comment, but it will tell you how your song hits thus far, so what the heck...Please, take this for what it's worth in a very general sense...A very general, universal *you*. (I'm tired idk how this will read, but hopefully as intended. K, coffee now.) One of my first thoughts was that deep tone and softness gives me that "I want to lie my head on *your* chest and listen to your heart and breath" feeling. How's that for cheesy?! 🧀

Dannielle O'Neill

🥲

Lisa Jasperson

It's early and sleep eludes, so this probably won't make sense, but here we are... I'm a cheesy person for sure (some of my poetry wasn't bad writing, but...oy), sometimes you just need that. That said, I feel like going straight "there" (the "I love you and you love me") at the jump is a little too abrupt for me. I actually like it and it fits the mood, just wasn't "primed" for that yet. Love the deeper tone and softness in your voice, definitely fits the mood. That said, I do love where it's at and I'll be excited to see where it goes. Sure hope some of that made sense. 😬

Dannielle O'Neill

It’s sooo cozy! I love how warm your low notes are. I could listen all day. On my second listen my only input is in the beginning so “oohs” and runs didn’t seem to fit the tone of the rest of the song. But that’s just me, a dum dum head, and it all sounded awesome anyway! ❤️

Anna

I love how many colours there are in your voice. I like the mellowness and ease of this. Since you asked for thoughts… The repeated guitar melody hits my ears kinda funny right from the beginning. Even once it backs off in the verse, for me it fights with the pretty, pretty singing. When you say ‘let me know your thoughts,’ is this the kind of stuff you have in mind? Would never want you to stop posting your works in progress, because they’re amazing to hear.

emy

Aww I love it. I love cheesy stuff so this is right up my alley! If I was that girl I be crying so many happy tears hearing it. It’s a very sweet song I really love it so far.

Kayla

I love it !! I don’t know why but for some reason I can’t focus on the lyrics, the melody sounds “louder” to me and it makes me feel relaxed and happy 😃 Did you do this on purpose or is it just me? Maybe this is what cheesy love feels like hahah you are just distracted by what you are feeling.

Jureth

There's 2 types of cheese. 80s-90s guilty pleasure cheese and feel good love song cheese. This song is absolutely a feel good love song. The sort you can see a video montage in your head. I love it!

Rachel H

The singing, the melody were really on point. Want to listen to it again! Maybe the lyrics could be switched up some what.

Brandt

Det var så fint Joel! I really liked the cheesy factor in this. It's just the vibe that most people feel a lack of during the pandemic. I can see me listening to this all day :)

Miss Srk

So sick!!! Love it 😍😍😍😍

Natalie Koenig

Three more things. 1. This is now stuck in my head. 2. “You look so beautiful, I can’t look away”. Makes me want to feel that. 3. There are certain phrases in a few songs that have stuck with me more so because of the way they’re sung, especially when they’re sung differently in different parts of the song. The I can’t look away part does it for me. Leave this one in for sure. 😉

Dorie

Sounds interesting! But yeah, It might be slightly too cheesy. There are usually two types of love song: one that makes you feel like you could be/are in love, and other that frustrates you and just screams at you "yeah, we're in love and you don't/won't feel anything like that". And that's the problem I have with that song. It just wakes the grumpy old person in me that hates when ppl throw the "love" in their face. 😑 But maybe I just need some more Lactase enzyme 😅 Still looking forward to the final version of the song. 😉

Magdalena Slodczyk

As always, thank you for sharing Joel 💙 Nate’s production is always on point!! I love that you’re working with him again/still :) I actually love the romantic ‘cheesy’ vibe here, brings back those feelings when you’re first falling madly in love and just wanting to be with that person all the time. If this is just a demo, I think it is pretty much perfect but to be fair you could sing the dictionary and I’d still think it was amazing LOL Super excited to hear the complete/finished version!!

Suzanne Collins

Love it. The song is really sweet and the clip really definitely makes me want to hear more, play it over and over, and sing it in my car. I think the only lyrics that push it toward the cheesier side, and maybe more obvious, if that makes sense, for me are ‘I love you and baby you love me. The rest of them…😘 particularly all the lyrics starting with “we will remember this…

Dorie

Love the vibe of this, so cosy 🥰

Rhiannon

same thoughts on the lyrics being "on the nose" 😄

Jean

Ok, I'm in love, Joel! This is beautiful!

Jade Ballengee

Wow that's in its early stages, really, that puts other finished songs to shame! Since the video (songs that make you feel like a Boss!) this is kinda ironic, in my best Chandler Bing voice "Could it be any more on the nose?" 😂🤣 Seriously though, I like the low almost whisper vocal, that's the kinda stuff that gets you on the "special" playlist. The production is sweet, it's such a nice melody, definitely reminds me of those first love moments you get in a relationship. Lyrics I just can't.. Do I believe they are written from a genuine love of something? Yes I believe this is what you whisper to Synthia the Synthesizer in the mornings 😋 but boy they are cheesier than a block of Cheddar! I totally get this is a love song, it's completely what I would of kissed all my posters to when I was 10 but I'm a cynical old cat lady now and can only reminisce about being this much in love 💕. My apologies for being the wrong demographic for your beautiful song, now where's my Imagine Dragons fight songs gone? 😋😋

Clair (Teampanda)

Awww, this is so beautiful! It makes me wish I were in love. I look forward to what this becomes because it sounds perfect as is 😊 The only critique I currently have is that the track sounds a bit too similar to stock music I've heard on several YouTube videos 😅

Jessistache_73

I love the whole vibe and production, sounds very lil pitchy ;) . The lyrics are kinda cheesy haha but if you can't say that in a song where can you say it? Already stuck in my head too. Thanks for sharing, hope to hear the rest!

Juniper loo

I really like this, it is a beautiful song and I was left wanting to hear the rest of it.

Adina

Thank you for sharing! I already love the production and your voice. The song puts me in a certain mood, like I immediately know on which playlists to put it. It feels like early summer. I also like the lyrics, only the "Cause I love you, and, baby, you love me" might be too cheesy. Except for that, it has been love at first listening.

Sarah

Every now and then we deserve some cheesiness from you, right? Production: sweet 🍭 Voice tone: surprise 😳 (I always liked your ‘clear’ pronunciation; this time you sing so low, that the words get lost a bit… but what I really really like is that the song ‘sounds’ like you. I believe every artist should have it’s own signature, something that says ‘hey! it’s me’ and you always pull it off!! Overall: I feel this will become a very good song. If this is just a demo, I can’t hardly wait for the end result 💓

Barbara Čičak

This is so great, baasik killed it as usual with the production <3

joie

I looooove it. Such good vibes and the production is already sick. Cant wait to put this on repeat

Cheekii

I think you're on the right track! Nobody wants to hear a whole album of songs that are very similar. I could see couples dancing to this one. Cheesy you say? I call it a perfect lovers song.

Sugary Magnolia

i like that riff in the intro that keeps on along the song. i agree, lyrics are a bit cheesy hahaha. like the line "coz i love you and baby you love me" 😄

Jean

💕 i like the deeper voice 😉 but also like belting, so im happy

Misty Gerkman

I like that it is so quiet and anyone wishes to find a love like this right😉maybe make it so cheesy it can become a wedding song😁 I am surprised I like it cause it can be too romantic if you are in a certain mood.

Lebuwi

I like the prechorus melody, it has a good hook 👍 It's a good track to mix up an album of "I feel like shit, let's dance" vibes.

Heather Strong

I don't know why OR how to explain it, but it kinda gives me mature vibes 😉

Trushakes

I'm not qualified to critique and everyone seems to love it so I'll just keep my opinions to myself... Thanks for sharing 😊

x0_Kristin_0x

Ahhh!! That was so nice. I loved that

Jessica Machin

Love can hurt but nice song 🎵

Stephanie Bruso

I think it has just the right amount of cheese without being over the top. It definitely has potential. And yes, I'd listen on loop. Lol

Margaret McLaren

I like it, it gives me happy hopeful vibes, definitely a big positive. It’s not really cheesy, there’s no stars, moons or dramatic references to grenades.😁

Shiny

Very nice, can't wait for the finished product. ( I can, no rush 😂 love it.)

BellatrixBerghult

Calming and cozy for sure and easy to listen to. I really like it, very sweet!!

Becky Lorion

It's definitely a good start 👌

Fearless

Exactly haha! Yeah Nate's production is so clean already, I'm working on figuring out melodies etc :)

Joel Berghult

That's fair, I think you gotta be in a certain mood for these kinda lyrics. If you're not in the mood it's just a song you'll skip lol

Joel Berghult

Aww it sounds like a love poem from a teenage heart! So pure and sweet ❤

Jasmin

Not writing out of an experience I'm having right now, memories are good to have with songwriting sometimes :P

Joel Berghult

I know its just a demo, but it felt almost complete? Like the clip ended almost abruptly? It left me wanting more... Idk if that makes sense lol. The cheese was there, but it felt sincere. Definitely a song you can feel when you have those feelings for someone, and feel it entirely differently when you don't.

Jessi

I don't go naturally to this kind of style, but you make me enjoy it. It's really good, and your voice is so smooth here. I really like it, can't wait to hear the full and final result. 👌😊

Magalie Leplus

I like it. I hope we get some super-belty parts later in the song.

Snuggleisk

Wow sounds so good. I'm guessing this is by you and not lil pitchy. But I'm no expert in these things. My first insight to making music is only what I have heard you talk about. Either way.. I think it sounds amazing. All breathy and all. See I have no clue. But I'm trying

Kelly Doran

I don’t think it’s cheesy, it’s chill and lovely. The “we will remember this” part.. is so very pretty, gives me a lil bit of Paul Klein lany vibes 😍

xtina 🖤

It’s a 50/50 for me. I like the melody and your singing but lyrics ummm are kinda questionable for me. I apologize if it’s not what you expect to see here but at least I’m honest.

Helga 🦊

the chorus, though, is VERY much something I'm sad to not keep hearing lol.. that part is perfect (as far as I can tell)

Airyckah Lane

Makes me feel warm inside. ☺ Digging the chorus. I can definitely see this added to my 'jams' playlist.

Sheila Ames

you're changing your texture a lot.. I like it.. there's a good bit of reverb/echoiness with it... with this small bit of a snippet, I can't tell if that helps or hurts the song's overall emotion though.. but so far it's really good and catchy. it plays out radio/movie ready

Airyckah Lane

Älskar melodin! Och du har verkligen ett eget ID i din röst. Man hör direkt att det är du! Love it! 😁

Veronica Belin

Hi Joel it's very sweet and smooth💜 sound like u are very much in love whit some 😉 best wishes to that 🤗

Ulrika Sjöberg

Seriously so good already!

Lizz Gutierrez

I love it! It’s beautiful :D

Franzi R

I love the vibe! Sounds amazing!

Courtney Walker

Love it!!
