(You and I Are Gonna Have) A Real Good Time (ft Helen Robertson)

from 2022 by ZeCoop

about

ZeCoop: I wrote this one specifically with Helen in mind on the 7th and today she sent over the vocal along with a *clarinet* track! The lyrics and vocals were super fun, the song already was a bouncy tune and since she added a clarinet solo, I felt I had to play my horns on it as well. I got my trombone out (the one thing I can still kind of play), the trumpet I got off craigslist three years ago (can't really play trumpet) and then a melodica came into my head. So that is what I've been up to all night. I managed enough notes on the trumpet to comp together something that sounded ok. After 20 minutes of ‘playing', more air was escaping out of the sides of my mouth than was going into the horn, haha. After that, melodica and trombone were a piece of cake in comparison!

It was a TON of fun coming up with parts and then even more fun mixing and listening to it. Helen turned this song into a serious party with the lyric and her super fun vocal. But the clarinet really made me take a second look at the song - so cool! I love it!! :)

Helen: I had a lot of fun writing the top line on this and I love the addition of the brass. Really makes it for me!

lyrics

I know you like to keep yourself to yourself
Don't like to mix it up with anyone else
I wanna break you out of that cycle
Let me tell you how it's gonna go

You and I are gonna have a real good time

So take my hand and follow me
You don't need to understand; just need to believe

You and I are gonna do something special
I wanna take you out on an adventure
And you can drop all of your apprehension
'Cause you and I are gonna have a real good time

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised
When you see the big wide world you've been missing
'Cause you've kept yourself inside
Too afraid in case the big bad wolf came calling

But there's no need for any fear
If you live like that you're gonna disappear
I know you think it's not the way things are done
But you and I are gonna have some fun.

ZeCoop Kalamazoo, Michigan

I love playing music and keep learning new instruments. My songs are in a wide range of styles, from indie-rock to surf, to folk to rock to electronic... I never know. I record at home in a studio I put together in a spare room. I work (via the web) with a lot of vocal/lyric collaborators from all over the world.
