You make Me Wanna Dance

About this episode

John Dyhouse shares his creative process of adding vocals to his original 1980s recordings and discusses the lyrics of his new song 'You Make Me Wanna Dance'.

Lyric below. Just loving these experiments adding vocals to covers of original tape recordings by my younger self, from the eighties. Still using what I have been calling "throwaway" lyrics, written in 30 mins or less from lists of various words and phrases I have collected in notebooks. Hear the instrumental used as the base this song, on the album "Coming Of The Keyboards" track "Doodle 2".
