Little Italy

Hi there,

I wanted to share with you this song that I wrote a few months ago. It's a song about Italy, a country dear to my heart :)
To help you with the understanding, I added some subtitles that you need to start on youtube. I let you discover the song. Thank you all

The lyrics : 

Sweetness invites us, Near Italy
Life abandons us, In the heart of Verona

A suspicion of Chianti, One or 2 martini
Their flavor caresses us, Two spritz and we take off

It is beautiful as a Prada at sale price
as Pope Francis in gondola
A moonlight swim in Capri
Little Italy

Those too strong voices which resound
These vongole that we adore
It is beautiful my Little Ita, Little Italy

An old vespa , Lost in Lombardy        
An ice cream just the 2 of us , On the Lake Como
At the end of a narrow street, A miracle fountain
In a burning heat, Intriguing beautiful Roma

It is beautiful as a Prada at sale price
As Pope Francis in gondola
A moonlight swim in Capri
Little Italy

Those too strong voices which resound
These vongole that we adore
It is beautiful my Little Ita, Little Italy

Canals and alleys making noise
Venice is packed
An invaded lagoon
Sinking beautiful Venice

Spoken :
I know you for a long time
You run in my veins
Your thousand colors streets
I know them by heart
I recognize all your perfumes
I guess your flavors
My second homeland,ma little Italy

It is beautiful as a Prada at sale price
As Pope Francis in gondola
A moonlight swim in Capri
Little Italy

Those too strong voices which resound
These vongole that we adore
It is beautiful my Little Ita, Little Italy

Very nice.  The percussion is excellent. Nice different sections.  I'd like to hear your voice a bit louder, and a bit brighter to homogenize with the music. Don't be afraid to let you voice stand in the spotlight.. The ear will always ground itself with the human voice, as long as it's good. and your voice is good. regardless of how outstanding the music may be.. The music is excellent too

The use of dorian is pretty cool, especially since it's not consistent, but don't be afraid to use chord progressions that really highlight it. Nobody hates a #vi chord when used right. I wasn't a huge fan of the layering when you were saying "Little Italy" in the chorus, but the song is otherwise pretty stable.
