Tommy this is such a big sound. Love the song, love the production.
Your a real pro my friend.
Rob Rob, Thanks much. I really appreciate you coming by for a listen. Tom Tom, this is just outstanding! I've been out of pocket for several weeks, and sure glad I didn't miss this one! (But then, I pretty much like every song you submit!)
Steve

Tommy,
(general observation)
something about your songs really resonates with me. There is an honesty to them that removes any possibility of hearing them as being contrived in any way. In that sense, they almost don't even sound like they were composed, its more like they were spoken spontaneously in confidentiality between friends, as afterthoughts, or maybe as part of the due process of figuring out what to do next.
Whatever it is, and whether I can articulate it or not, you have something really solid going on with your songs, and I really like it.
(specific observation)
1) I like the way the two guitar in the intro echo the same pattern
2) I really liked the transition at "Now That I'm on my own I better start thinking I can have a life again
Maybe there's still enough leftover pieces of the man I've been".. It's seamless and effective
3) something about the phrase "maybe I oughta leave this town" struck me as being particularly insightful to what was going on the the central character's mind as he hashed through his situation. Relocating is serious stuff, not done lightly by most people... whereas in our society people often change relationships rather lightly. This line identifies the singers hierarchy of the relationship's importance.
4) I really envy the clarity you achieve in your mixes.

Pat,normally I would let this slide down the page again but because I haven't heard from you for a while i have to respond. Thank You very much for your extensive thoughts on this. On lyric writing it reminds me of Dolly Parton saying it's expensive to look this cheap. Kind of how I approach lyrics, rewriting lines and changing words around to make them sound more natural. It takes a bit of work to make them sound "easy". My latest theory is the "dumbing down effect" that is to make them less grammatically correct and more conversational. i.e. "oughta instead of should have" "Ain't instead of not going to". It makes them more accessible and less brainy. Glad you came by, I miss your astute observations. Hope all is well, Tom

The title attracted me. Cheers. Me, too...and I agree with your reasoning that it will probably attract more so than perhaps a more conventional selection for the title. Great song, Tommy! Clever and relatable lyrics, fine production values...very nice, good job!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
