I was tasked with writing a 'fun little song' with a bouncy feeling by a female artist local to me.
I struggled to come up with anything, then I thought about a phrase she uses quite often in her everyday speech....Oh My Goodness............here's the result!
Ive utilised a female Ai vocal for the demo, however Im hoping that if she likes it I can get her to record her voice.
Any hoo, untill then, I give you 'Oh My Goodness' (Ai edition!)

LYRICS
Oh My Goodness
[Verse] Woke up late the sun was high Spilled my coffee but I can't cry Threw on a dress and hit the street Dancing to the chaos under my feet
[Chorus] Oh my goodness can't slow down Life's a circus in this town Twist and turn just like the tide Hold on tight enjoy the ride
[Verse 2] Missed the bus but caught a smile Walked a mile in style all the while The world’s a mess but I don't care I'll take the madness anywhere
[Chorus] Oh my goodness can't slow down Life's a circus in this town Twist and turn just like the tide Hold on tight enjoy the ride tide
[Bridge] Laughter echoes through the noise Girls and boys lose their poise The beat keeps pounding in my chest This beautiful chaos is the best
[Chorus] Oh my goodness can't slow down Life's a circus in this town Twist and turn just like the tide Hold on tight enjoy the ride

Brilliant song and production! I was surprised that they were AI vocals as they're so good.
Some favourite Waoist Adages: #1: Play on the Way. #13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you. #58: Bring consciousness to it. #63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made. #92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.
Hi Pete! Loved this one! The female AI vocal on it - sounded really authentic and, given everything underneath it should have screamed 'country', I was so glad that the style of the vocal transformed this to indie pop genre instead - if that's what it's called. I listened to it a couple of times feeling sure that I could hear ukulele in parts, but it must just be the combination of acoustic and vocal that conjured that. In terms of arrangement, I thought you had good use of holds and stops in BIAB bar settings to create different texture, and even though I could see it coming (I really appreciate your BIAB screen captures - how many like me are leaning in and having a good look at what's going on?) the key change was a wonderful lift to take the song home to the finish.

Brilliant. It works on every level so I wouldn't change a thing. The kind of song that just carries you along. Reminds me somewhat of Colbie Caillat's "Bubbly."
Oh my goodness this is an outstanding song Outstanding work with those synth voices, they sound so real it is scary Great backing tracks and mix IMHO Pete this is your best to date
I got banned from Weight Watchers for dropping a bag of M&Ms on the floor. It was the best game of Hungry Hippos I've ever seen!
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
Seamless classic country sound. Really, REALLY nicely done. Slick job with the very dynamic BiaB arrangement. AI vocals are completely believable, but hope your requestor agrees to lay down a vocal track, and that she has your flair for country music.

Thank you so much Andrew! So glad you enjoyed your listen. I also thank you for your reference to the screen capture, I'm never sure if it works, but glad you find it helpful to see what's going on.

Thank you, that's very kind of you, and I see your point re 'Bubbly'

Well thank you kind sir!
Not redundant at all I'm sure. Normally I prefer to do my own vocals as like yourself I did 20+ years on the road with my country outfit all over the UK and Europe, however try as I might on this occasion I couldn't find a set of nutcrackers to enable me to hit the vocal range required to sound female 😂😂 hence the AI lol.
I shall have hotpot tomorrow in your honour, and as for Stanley, yep we are still holding our own in the league albeit only just lol. Both my wife and young daughter play for the women's team who are doing better lol.
Any hoo, thanks again my mate, much appreciated.
