Beer Break I just released this song as a single. It is a collaboration with a lyricist I've worked with before. I had the basic Idea for the song floating around my head for a couple years but never got around to actually writing it. When I told him about it he gave me these great lyrics to work with. Hope you enjoy. Real Tracks: 684:Bass, Electric, Pop Half Notes Sync 1726:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Honky Tonk John 848:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Country Rock Riff 405:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming 1515:Guitar, Electric, Soloist Country Brent Real Drums=Nashville Even 8 Lyrics: I'm clocking 40 hours But it's not enough The mortgage is due And the bills are piling up The boss is on my [*****] And he needs me to stay But I'm gonna lose my cool If I don't get away That's it...time out...I need a Beer Break I need some, down time I need to, get away I need to hook up the boat And take her to the lake I don't need a doctor I do t need a friend I will be ok Once I'm a six-pack in And if I have six more That's all it should take I don't need your help I need a, beer break The old lady's naggin' About her honey-Do list The yard need mowed And the neighbors are pissed The dog ran away And my truck needs breaks Man how much more Am I supposed to take That's it...time out...I need a Beer Break I need some, down time I need to, get away I need to hook up the boat And take her to the lake I don't need a doctor I do t need a friend I will be ok Once I'm a six-pack in And if I have six more That's all it should take I don't need your help I need a, beer break Hey pass me a cold one.

A fun honky tonkin track Samuel. Terrific arrangement. I'll have to listen somewhere else because the vocals seem to hit the limits of my headphones in the chorus. Maybe a different pair of cans will do the trick. Cool stuff.

Samuel,
Nice country sound and your vocal is a perfect fit. Besides your performance, I can hear a Brooks & Dunn sound. Too bad they're not recording any more. But you fill the void very nicely with this one. Good choice on the piano backing track. Sweet!

Samuel.. Who hasn’t been in this exact situation!?! You made an excellent song a the message everyone can relate to. you’ve used a good hook with “beer break”, and all aspects of the song are rock solid. The production is right on, vocals great, really enjoyed this...And great way to end it with your little novelty tag!!

A solid write, Samuel. Who is you co-writer?
A good production. The pieces all fit well and a good overall mix - although I think there is a bit too much "high".
Fun song.

A solid write, Samuel. Who is you co-writer? Fun song. Skipper Laman from Oklahoma. Met him in a Facebook songwriting group and we've been working on a few things.

I'm always reticent to mention comparisons but Brooks and Dunn assuredly come to mine.
The lyric and vocal performance fit their groove very well.
Reminiscent of those great country years in the late 80's through late 90's. We miss that.
Enjoyed it.

What a fun song! It has a really great beat to it, and is definitely a foot-tapper. Sounds like this guy's got a lot going on his life. I can see where he might need a bit of a breather. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Ember

I had the feeling that I was sitting in a Texas bar, slipping a cold one and listening to the band behind the cage! Great lyrics, backing tracks and mix with a super vocal.
Books and Dunn were mentioned and I agree but I think Toby Keith should sing this one. Maybe you could send it to him.
This was a real fun toe tapper with lyrics that I can relate.
I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

Samuel,
Your presentation is first class. The sound that was coming from my speakers as I listened was outstanding in its presence and realism. You blew me away. It seems the Neutron and Ozone have done a might good job for you.

This gave me a good chuckle - and wow, is it ever catchy! I actually wouldn't bat an eyelash hearing this on a modern country station. A really strong earworm, with fun relatable lyrics. I can see this packing the dancefloor is seconds in a live setting.
You nailed this one - thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Deryk

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
