Loop song with buildup. We would only do one verse probably. I put the proof of concept in the group chat that one day. It sounds really cool. We could do some neat stuff with adding and removing voices during the song, having someone "DJ," if you will, dictating who is singing and who is not at the current moment. This would be more focused on the performance and execution than anything else, because it would be super easy to learn musically. If we tighten up the showmanship, this could be a really impressive piece for little effort.

This was back when Kanye was good. It's one of his most famous ones.

I concur, it would be a really cool concept to execute. Easy to learn, hard to master and perfect the presentation. This would be a really good break song (like an intermission song or something). I'm down for it. If only one verse, how long do you think it would be buckets?

Always loved this song. But, it's definitely a performance song. Like, if we're going to execute it well we really gotta be about it and I don't know if we have the energy for a song like this. Also, if we're gonna do a song of this genre that's been posted here, I think I prefer All Of The Lights. I think we'd pull that off better.

I mean we would DEFINITELY pull off All of the Lights better, for sure. The real purpose of this song is the simplicity of it, it wouldn't hurt to learn because it would take literally 5 minutes. We could use it as filler if we need it, or pull it out at drunkapella or something. It doesn't have to be a piece we do at shows or often unless we want to put a lot of effort into the performance of it.
