zydeco, That was fun! I would try to keep the Drums centered. They seem to be panned hard right. Good vocal and nice editing. Good job on a first try for country. I liked it. Tom

cant figure that out. In Sonar, the drums are centered but when it gets to soundcloud they do seem a little panned. I guess I could try panning them the other way.
No, not true. I made it all up. I worked with a guy who was married 4 times and he referred to his exes as "Number 1" "Number 3" I thought "Wow, there's a country song in that"

Quite an interesting topic and fun song. Good to hear it really wasn't you but it was a fun listen. You have already taken on the task of figuring out the drum position so no need to go there. You have a pleasant voice and you used BIAB well.

I really love this. Huge potential. With some revisions I think this is profoundly pitchable. This could just be me, but I think anyone you pitched this to (or was listening) would say "How come you didn't mention 1 and 2? I think you could do something with one like "one day and we were done" and 2 "three kisses and we were through" or something like that, then go onto 3. After that I don't think you need to count, but I do think adding in 1 and 2 would zip this up. Again, that is just me, but overall this is extremely clever and I think you may really have a commercial song here with just a couple of tweaks. Go and listen to Elvis Costello, Every Day I write the Book...that's what this reminds me of... 1st Verse: C#m E Chapter one, we didn't really get along, Chapter two, I think I G#m E A B C#m fell in love with you. you said you'd stand by me in the F#m middle of Chapter three, but you were up to your old tricks in Chapters G#m B four, five, and six, and? (chorus) E G#m A B E G#m I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday, A B E G#m ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book. A B  Great song idea man! I am jealous!!!!
