Not typical tear in my beer country but I like the alternative country Americana feel you've got going on here. Of course I'm such a fan of your voice, you could probably sing the phone book and I'd like it. grin

I enjoyed it - different and edgy.

Great opening line!! This song really has great emotion-you sell the melancholy very well with your vocal! Arrangement and mix are perfectly matched to the vibe. Excellent job with this! Take care. Greg


Curse you Greg Johnson! You beat me to the comment AGAIN! ;-)

I'm going with Josie on this one... Rob, your voice is the star in all of your productions, and you could submit anything as long as you were singing it, and it would totally rock!

But you speak as though you aren't entirely happy with it. Whether or not you hit the ball out of the park may be subjective... but I'd say there's no doubt you bounced the ball off the back wall! The melody is haunting and well structured. On one hand I think the song would benefit from being a tad faster... but then it's sort of a drunken lament, which almost requires a slowness that drags a sober listener down to where the protagonist is at the moment.

I also like the lyrical structure in which only 50% of the lines are unique and the other 50% repeat. Not sure why, but I like that, and it really works for this song. No need to make it complicated, she left and now he's drunk and sad, left with fairly simple regrets and the words it takes to express them. I see it as a lyrical caricature of the drunk who keeps saying the same things over and over because he can't get it off his mind.
