Great country song. You have a super voice. The backing track and mix were spot on.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Hello Reno,

A straight going very nice song with good vocal harmonies.
A nice band with that steel guitar.

I read why you chose the word 'wheel', but 'merry-go-round' was another option. Or is this no proper American word ;-) ?

I liked it!

There're a couple of spots where the "old man whistle" appears and it becomes accentuated by the processing.
You can manage that with a de-esser or, better still, some manual level control BEFORE the effects kick in.
You've assembled a nice band.
It'd be cool to know what style, what instruments and what processing you used to carry your good narrative.
The song does need something to end with - a modulation, a tempo change - something.

Life is Like a Wheel indeed...it's also a case of swings n roundabouts.
Unfortunately I won't be listening to your other tracks as there're lots of folk who post on the forum but get pushed off the 1st page when someone posts multiple tracks in a short period of time. I'll have to go to the "back pages" to dig them up & listen/comment.
You'll have noted that several forum members have commented. It's not required, or even expected in this day n age, that folk reciprocate but it's nice when they do.
No, I don't want you to listen to my stuff, but dig through some of the posts from other folk and give them a boost perhaps.

Looks like I missed this the first time around.

Looks like - sort of like that wheel you're singing about - it came around again. wink

Pleasant song - easygoing, good fit for the song. Nice harmonies, too. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
