Song information
This is the opening track of my 2024 RPM Challenge EP Quiet Puzzle. All very much 80s synth pop inspired.
This one in particular borrows heavily from early Depeche Mode and Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark. I've always loved the very sparse, simple and very digital sound from the late 70s/early 80s bands who were just learning what synth pop could grow into.
This song, especially, I tried to make it sound as period-authentic as possible using the Roland CR-78 drum machine in Logic as well as at least fairly close approximations of synth sounds at time, say 1979-1980. I think it hit relatively close to the mark.
This is the first of the six songs I did for the challenge. I'll be posting more in coming days. Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics
I wonder what you’re thinking
when I get a glance at you

Then you smile and I know
you caught me in the act

What should I say
in the monetary awkward silence

Because words
never seem enough


You seem to me
such a quiet puzzle
going on
day by day

you seem to me
such a quiet puzzle
but there’s volume
in your smile


I wonder if I could touch you
hold your hand and feel you warmth

I wonder if I could kiss you
Then you smile and I know

I know what to say
in the monetary awkward silence

We don’t need words
to say what’s true


You seem to me
such a quiet puzzle
going on
day by day

you seem to me
such a quiet puzzle
but there’s volume
in your smile

Definte 80s vibe here. Really like the lyrics. Well sung too.

This surely has an OMD vibe to it. One of my favorite 80s electronic bands. Really well done and a well written song. Nice voice
