This is a new song I wrote this week and I'm still mixing. I will revisit it next week and probably upload a new mix then but decided to go ahead and present what I have. The lyrics explain it all! Due to the many syncopated parts in the song I used only the RealDrums from BIAB on this one (They are the best sounding ones available IMHO). I played all the other instruments. Thanks for checking it out

very nice rocking rhythm built around the strong lyrical content. The melody is top quality once again. Great playing and vocals.

As usual Torey - you use some BIAB stuff as the basis for cracking performances of your own in a snappy song. reminds me of Joe Jackson between 2nd & third LPs.
The vocal reverb makes it sound like it's in another room from the rhythm section but you'll be reworking this so probably already have plans.
I look forward to the remix.
Cheers

Nice one, Torrey!
Vocals are top notch.
Love your guitar work! And that little bit after the solo where you doubled the guitar part on the bass, at around 2:50, very cool indeed. Love the bass line, do you record it direct?
Mix sounds pretty close to me. Enjoyed the listen!

Great lyrics & tune...
I especially like your hook lines...
"Why do I do the things I don't want to do
Why do I hurt you when I say I love you
Why are the days I get it right so few
Tell me why oh why"
Nice writing...
I'd appreciate a PM reminder when you upload the finished song just in case...
I'd hate to miss the hearing where you take it.

Hi Torrey,
With every song you post, the consistency with which you produce works that have a rich, full and professional sound never wavers.
This is a terrific song and you've done a spectacular job playing all those instruments. There's no doubt about it, you really know your stuff when it comes to writing, arranging and presenting!
All the best,
Noel

Torrey,
You do Pop better than anyone else here. And this is an excellent example.
Original and catchy. Has all the qualities that Joe Jackson put into his best stuff. An interesting, unexpected melody, an interesting cadence to the lyrics/vocals, a driving, melodic bass line, lead-line-rhythm guitars that drive the melody deep into your ears. Very cool
Really enjoyed this.

Hi Torrey.
This reminds me of new wave from the eighties.
One slight pick is the cymbals where a touch overpowering in places but I know you are still mixing so not a real problem.
Great write my friend. Rob

Torrey,
There`s lots going on in this very catchy and funky song.
Yes, I would also have said you were channeling Joe Jackson with those changes and surprises in the melody... but no mistake, this is Torrey pop classic territory!
Your guitars and bass are so fine...I can`t hear much I`d change at all.
Very, very good.
Robert

Really, really, really great.
I was impressed with the intro especially. The listener has little chance to decide on the genre, it just opens up with a sensational delivery.
Lyrically excellent and musically outstanding.

Really nice work, Torrey  It is perfectly catchy, and I love the vocals here. The effects almost remind me of Phil Collins a bit. As others have mentioned - this is a fine piece of songwriting. Very strong and pronounced delivery on all fronts. It is memorable, and hits seriously hard. Some awesome lyrics to boot. Not a thing I'd change - you should be proud of this one. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

"Why do I do the things I don't want to do
Why do I hurt you when I say I love you
Why are the days I get it right so few
Tell me why oh why"
A nicely told lover's lament.
Your instrumental and vocals performances are so strong...broken record, yeah, but it's the truth.
The guitar is perfect for the song and, man, that bass line particularly doubling your guitar. Wow! Like Dave I'd like to know if it was a direct input?
And syncopation galore...how cool and put together amazing well.
You are very talented and we are all the better for it!
J&B

Torrey,
you are very diverse and talented musician. There are almost no two songs alike.
I enjoyed this. Very masterful use of syncopation and overall from lyrics to mix a solid A+.
Thank you,
Misha.
