Additional lyrics to help tell the story line a little better. Any critiques and/or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Love the song! The lyrics, backing tracks and your vocals are top notch! The only problem is there is a ton of digital distortion through out the song. You may want to back and check each track separately for distortion. If you are using some mastering tools check for distortion prior to and after using those tools as they can produce distortion if the input/output ratios are off.


When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"

Nice. Is the piano BIAB too? The vox could use a bit of reverb and maybe some EQ, but everything sounds good.

Good song.

thanks everyone for the critiques. Yes, all the music is BIAB. After hearing your comments i backed the gain down about 4db in the master remix to help with the distortion (using Ozone 4 & 5 for mastering inside of Audacity), added some more reverb to vocals and even changed one more line of the lyrics. remix is posted again back at the original web address http://soundcloud/msfrancis/when-i-will-walk-away

Nice work! It's a good country tune, with solid writing and arrangement. It sets up the story and follows through, and the arrangement does the right things in the right places. It's predictable, but in a good way.

It would be nice if the harmonies were a bit wider, but it sounds like you're using BIAB to create them, so it's probably safest to leave them more in the background like you've got them.

There's still a bit of crackle at 2:27 - you can see where it clips on the waveform.

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