Great Rocker! Good vocal performance your voice fits this tune like a glove. Reminds me of Bowie, or Kinks. I was hoping for a break down somewhere in the middle, to maybe add some dynamics. Great Job.!!

Scott
Good song enjoyed it especially the vocal.
Excellent.
Peter Thanks a bunch, Peter! Wow. Mastery and command of energy here. Good stuff. Much appreciated, Mark! Hello Scott
Cool song
You sing it really good
The whole structure of the song is great
I like it very much
many greetings
Andi ;-) Thanks, Andie. Rock on! Ezekiel,
Your vocal on this is excellent—as others have noted it has a David Bowie feel to it, to me at least. And the BGVs are solid as well. I also like the way you’ve panned the guitars—it gives a nice full bodied feel to the band, and I like the production touches throughout—the way you drop and then come back to certain instruments and riffs. I tend to agree with rayc that the electric guitars could pop a bit more . . . but I think that’s more a limitation of the electric guitar rhythm tracks; it’s always a challenge, at least for me, to give them an edgy sound, which is what may take this tune to another level. Regardless, excellent tune as is, carried by that great vocal. Good stuff!
All my best,
Deej Deej, thank much for the feedback. No masquerade here Scott...You pulled it off! This is super good! Cool sounds abound in this! Not a lot of lyrics but not really needed! Thanks, Torrey Thanks, Torrey Scott,
Cool and punky. I don't know how to describe it... K.Cobain got a hold of happy vitamins? Super fun arrangement. If I heard it on a radio, I would never have guessed that its a one man show. Excellent vocals and PRO mix. Those drums worked really well on this tune. Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Thanks, Misha!

Hi Ezekiel,
I can only admit what the others said; good rocker and very strong voice!
The percussion was also very attractive, giving so much power to the song.
Hans
PS: Did you have a sore throat for more than a week after singing it?

So how do you really feel about her?
The operative word here for us is "attitude."
Attitude in the vocals, the arrangement and the RT choice.
Lotta grit here!

HOLY MOLY.
nice progression.
nice screams n vocs at 53secs etc in various places..
what i like bout your songs are they grab one around the scruff of ones neck and command attention.
wow grrreat voc screams at end of song.
MAGNIFICENT.
well well done...sincerely.
best
om
Thanks so much, OM! Cool song. The mix is outstanding. Great vocals (lead and "ah's" part) and especially the soaring singing at the end. I think you did great with the minimal amount of words. You kept it interesting. I love the concept of using a minimal amount of tools (lyrics, chords, length, etc.). Less is best in my book.
Good one. Thanks, jpt! Less is more...which conjures a scene in my mind from Waiting for Guffman. With a voice like yours you could sing anything and make it sound perfect, Scott. I love the rhythm of that acoustic guitar starting and pacing the song. The lyrics are perfect for this song. Yeah, those harmonies sound great triple-tracked!!! Marty, you are much too kind.

I almost this one but I'm really glad I got to listen.
Excellent rocker.
As others have said great vocal, organ, guitars and mix.
Loved it.
Life is short so make sure you spend as much time as possible on the Internet arguing with strangers.

Okay David Bowie. WOW! Tone of energy. I'm not a rocker but I did like this. It did have that British overtone. I also LOVED the break. That makes all the difference in the presentation. I just want to add one thing ..... I HOPE THE NEIGHBORS WEREN'T HOME WHEN YOU RECORDED THIS!! THEY'D CALL THE POLICE ON YA. Especially those Virginia Cops !!! :-) Nice Job !!

Great Job.!! Thanks, Elliot. I did have a bridge for the song, but I tossed it. I know the song is simple and repetitive, that's I change the time signature for a few measures just before the 1 measure drum breaks just too mix it up slightly. Really good rock song.
Great choruses!

Rob and Anne-Marie Rob and Anne-Marie, thanks for the kind words. Hi Ezekiel,

Man, there's a lot of music in here! Great job. Loved the bass throughout and I didn't see anybody mention it, but in addition to your lead voice, I thought those backing vocals were great. A real rocker.

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
