We love the video and the song, Josie!

Your smiles in the video from sweet to mischievous are perfect and the lyric is one that many folks can relate to, I’m sure. Our sisters have often talked about seeing an old boyfriend on FB and saying to us, “what was I thinking?!” smile

The band and mix sound fine on our new Kali monitors too.

Well done.

Enjoyed it!

About you vocals:
My 2 cents is......
It's not a volume thing, I think the vocals need a little EQ to brighten them up, maybe cut below 250HZ and boost a bit around 5k and again around 12k
I'm thinking that would make the vocal pop a bit wink

I enjoyed that.

Thank you Moto! I appreciate the advice which I will keep in mind to try in future use. I often high pass more than Nectar 3 suggests but usually not quite that much.

Thank you Janne! Here are lyrics.

A LIttle Bit More Hell (Oh Well) ©Josie Beck ASCAP

Today I went online and tracked you down.
Saw that big new house where you're living now.
Looks like you and her are together still.
And I'm not really sure why I am doing this.
After all it was me who ended it.
Way back when I thought my broken heart would never mend

I'm looking for your picture on a website page.
Wondering what you look like now that you've aged.
And I could get your number for a one time fee.
Call you up and rock your boat when I say it's me.
After all I'm the one who loved you then.
Way back when I thought my broken heart would never mend.

If I heard your voice I could wish you well.
But there's a teeny tiny part of me
that still thinks you shouldda gone through
just little more hell yeah, a little more hell.
Just a little bit more hell than I can tell. Oh well.

After all the lies you told me that I believed.
You know I had no choice then. I had to leave.
We both know I'm the one who got away yeah.
Way back when I thought my broken heart would never mend.

Truth is I'm happy and I wish you well.
But there's a teeny tiny part of me
that still thinks you shouldda gone through
just a little more hell yeah. a little more hell.
Just a little bit more hell than I can tell. Oh well.

(spoken ad lib) I ain't holding no grudges baby, you forgiven now.

So glad I subscriber to you YT channel, Josie. I started enjoying this beauty the day you uploaded it. What a great idea and execution for the video. That's funny about looking him up and feeling the angst. I'll bet he was looking you up and feeling regret. This is such a fun song so finely mixed. A treat to listen to.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Josie ...

Love that non-stop 4/4 beat! Great band members you assembled - maybe you should give them a raise??!!!. I would add just a touch of high EQ on the vocal - perhaps a slight nudge at the 5K - 7K spot. Just a comment for your consideration. That's the only thing I would change. Great song and video! Fool stuff!!!

But like some others, I had trouble making out the lyrics.

Good to see you in the video as well!


Thank you David! Lyrics are a couple of posts up. Glad you enjoyed the video and that you got a kick out my drum ending. grin
