Slow Dancing (Lindsey Buckingham Song)
"Slow Dancing" is a track on Lindsey Buckingham's second solo album, '' Go Insane''. Despite receiving power rotation on MTV, "Slow Dancing" failed to make the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, although it did reach number 6 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles, an extension to the Hot 100. 34 years after its release, "Slow Dancing" was performed live for the first time. "Slow Dancing" possesses a 4/4 dance beat with a heavy reliance on computer sounds, particularly the 8 bit Fairlight CMI. Buckingham said in a 2018 interview with ''Stereogum'' that "Slow Dancing" explores the idea of striving for human connection through romantic aspirations. Early in the song's development, Buckingham had the idea of concluding "Slow Dancing" with a classical-inspired 3/4 waltz, and this concept was ultimately kept in the final version of the song. Critical reception Several months before "Slow Dancing" was released as a single, the ''Los Angeles Times'' earmarked the song as ''Go Insane's'' "best sh ...

Songs Written By Lindsey Buckingham
A song is a musical composition performed by the human voice. The voice often carries the melody (a series of distinct and fixed pitches) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs have a structure, such as the common ABA form, and are usually made of sections that are repeated or performed with variation later. A song without instruments is said to be a cappella. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in the classical tradition, it is called an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally by ear are often referred to as folk songs. Songs composed for the mass market, designed to be sung by professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows, are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are oft ...
