Ammp - On the song All I Wanted from Garageband
16 Jan 2008 // A review by ammp
Simply a fantastic pop song!
Good catchy intro with good, melodic chords and a good beat. When the singer comes in, the song instantly becomes beautiful. What a voice! It is warm and soft. Nice backup vocals as well! When you sing "I hope it's today" before the first chorus, it sounds like you are going to get problems with the higher notes, but the chorus proves me wrong.
The second time the chorus comes in I just think to myself "I love this!" as soon as it gets back to the chorus it is amazingly beautiful. This song goes into my garageband favorite list immediately!
I like that the band plays simple and tight, never interfering with the lead singer. The playing is straightforward and steady, and when you get to the "All I wanted, all I needed" part you just make that little change in the beat which is very effectful. I also like the 7 and maj7 chords just before the chorus, they change the mood a tiny little bit before the fantastic chorus comes.
Simply a fantastic song, this one!
