about
a little indie pop song about my home town, letters, trams, & porches.
(possibly cups of tea, but only if the real thing.)
Praise for Out Loud from Fluence...
Andrea Young: we love the vocals, the harmonies and the sparse arrangement. Really appreciate the authentic and crystal clear tones of the vocals. Great melancholy/hopeful feeling to it. We'd like to see if we can find a place for it.

(Pesci) Jeff Gray: Your voice is very strong and appealing on this track. The song is good. It's got a stream of conscience, meandering and sweet. I like the song and I will suggest it to our team at www.hunnypotunlimited.com for consideration for our playlist(s).

Chuk Jones Very pretty and introspective song. I like the brightness of the music and vocals. Great mix.
D Grant Smith Pretty melody with a nice voice. I appreciated the creativity in the lyrical composition. Reminds me of Priscilla Ahn in ways.

Marcus Brooke-Smith Really like this, a very sweet song. My girlfriend is from Melbourne so was funny to hear a few of the references.
lyrics
V1:
Picture this,
Acland Street, and it’s raining
All the rock boys in the newsagents,
Looking at the magazines for free again…
Refrain:
St.Kilda is great, & I’m feeling better,
Sitting on my porch, reading your letter
Chorus:
Kiss me out loud, it’s a beautiful thing
Love is not falling, it’s opening…
Out loud, I want you to
Love is not falling, it’s opening up into…
V2:
Look out,
There goes a tram
Might as well jump on it; go all the way into town
(There he is in my head again…)
Ref:
Chorus...
Mid8:
Just like terrible twins we get way too close
it's too close, it's too close
One of these days we're gonna bust it wide open and
it- will- be- just- great...
ref.
chorus.
