Like a dog needs fleas, and a flooded field needs rain, I need you like the desert needs a drain. I think this time the finish line’s the place that we should start ‘Cause I need you like another broken heart. I see you haven’t changed And you still have a way with words What you’re lackin’ in commitment You’re makin’ up with nerve. Last time you said you’d love me Until time came to an end Next day you walked away And it was only half past ten… (Chorus) I think this time the finish line’s the place that we should start ‘Cause I need you like another broken heart. Yes, I need you… like another broken heart. I was hoping for a Buck Owens type sound - BGVs on the chorus would have been nice, but I'm not there yet. : ) Comments appreciated!

Last time you said you’d love me Until time came to an end Next day you walked away And it was only half past ten…" Curt - that is really clever writing!... "I think this time the finish line’s the place that we should start"... That, too!.. Cool tempo change. Good country sound throughout. The pedal steel could be a bit lower under the vocals - a bit more subtle. It is a good level for its solo. I like the way you had it and the fiddle trading off in the first verse. Everything else fits nicely. Another well done song. floyd 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

Did miss the Don Rich freight train fender guitar and high harmony that would have cemented the Buck Owens sound. But everything else is there and this certainly sounded like a song Buck Owens would have been proud for him and Don to record.

I can recall a number of the old songs that did that. Very nice chord changes in the progressions. The bass anticipating the upcoming chord is good too. Clever lyrics. I'm thinking this could have been a hit back in the day. comments on the mix I'm in agreement with Floyd on the steel being too loud behind the vocals. With old country, try pulling the steel out (no lead stuff) behind the vocalist. Let the acoustic guitars or a non-lead piano, carry those sections because the spotlight in these old country songs is the singer. Let the steel do fills in the appropriate places between the vocal phrases. Just one example: On the first chorus... steel in after the word "heart" and out on the word "pulled". Quick short fills, swap with fiddle fills, guitar fills, etc.... If you let a "solo" instrument play behind the vocal, be sure it doesn't play loud and that it doesn't do anything that's interesting enough that pulls the listener's ear away from the singer and what the lyrics are saying. All in all, well done with just a few minor places to make changes. Good job. Last edited by Guitarhacker; 09/07/15 04:18 AM.

I agree the slide should be down a bit in places but otherwise all sounded good on my system, and played loud. enjoyed it immensely Alyn My showcase songs My story

I really need to set up some monitors - all I've got to work with at the moment are headphones, monitors would have to help. Referencing your remarks if I redo this will be a priority and very useful. Quote: Did miss the Don Rich freight train fender guitar and high harmony that would have cemented the Buck Owens sound. Charlie - Yes, that is exactly what I had in mind. Don Rich harmonies and the "Buckaroos" would be the ideal. I'm going to experiment with BGVs, as I would like to include them in most of the songs I put together, anyway. I really think a female lead vocalist rendition would be even better for this song, given the lyrics. (like a Janice Merrit )But for the time being I have my hands full trying to learn to properly record a male vocal. Herb, Thank you for your most excellent advice as well. I realize this doesn't fit today's sound - and retro is kind of what I had in mind, I guess. I love the old stuff, and don't listen to much mainstream (modern) country today. Maybe I should, and try to update my approach to writing. I appreciate your help! Last edited by Curt Young; 09/07/15 06:00 AM.

BIAB is such a tremendously versatile tool. Guenter, I appreciate your listening. I would imagine it can be kind of painful for someone with an ear for mixing like yours, but I guess my biggest enjoyment is in the writing. Thanks for seeing through the flaws!

If you could pull off that background vocal bit that's been mentioned, that would be the icing on the cake. I also liked the way you nailed that low note at the end. -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Sang bass with a Gospel Quartet for a while & really enjoyed it. More in my comfort zone. I don't care much for the sound of my voice in this kind of stuff. To be honest, I'd rather just write and hand stuff to someone else for the recording. But glad you liked the song!
