Added a few lines of spoken word at the beginning:
I have everything I could ever wish for
But I really have nothing, I have no-one to adore
I don't know what to do, I'm sure you exist
I'm only looking for a heart with my name on it
So I'm filling out this profile and hope for a hit
Looking for a heart with my name on it
Process
First increased the tempo of the vocal and filled it with a repeating bassline and some arpeggio synth patches. Sounds simpel enough, but it took me a lot of tries at the mixing stage. Still not completely satisfied, but enough is enough. Should be OK on laptop and earphones. Not so good on iPad. Will maybe have one final go at a remix.
Other Notes
For me this song is a cry for love. In this day and age that would involve some Internet datingsite. Hence the lines I added.
