Another song that I wrote for the album, but I think it will go on the next one that is more in the rock arena as this isn't all that "country".

What If It Was Love

Everything but the Hammond was from Real Band.

And to the three people who continue to tell me to put the vocals more out front, don't say I didn't warn you!

Listening at my desk at work! Bouncey kinda feel with a bit of Springsteen in it.

That "heavy handed Hammond sound"!!

That was done by routing my ESQ-1 through 2 Alesis Midiverbs, with one set to flanger 56 and the second set to flanger 57. The time differences between the 2 patches is very subtle but it caused all that phasing and cancellation and gave it the swirl. The guy who plays in my band asked who brought teh Hammond over and lugged it up teh stairs.....

Hey Eddie,

I love this! Reminds me a little bit of Huey Lewis.

By far my favorite song of yours!

I hope you write more in this genre.

How funny is the songwriting game? I wrote this song and when it was done I was like "Weeeeellll, I need at least 10 songs so I will include it but I am not really crazy about it" about it, and now at least 7 people say it's the best of the bunch. I am amazed by that. I guess maybe we are our own harshest critic sometimes.....

Makes me smile that the ones I thought were the weakest are getting the best reviews. Insignificant Other was just a fun song, and Things That Go Together was one I almost trashed. Yet from sampling the CD to people, those 3, including What IF It Was Love, seem to be the faves.

I thought Do It All Again would be the hit.
