OP PeterF Veteran Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 5,644 Sydney Australia	D.I.V.O.R.C.E. With apologies to Aretha. Here is an old one I updated recently. Lyric and vocal Leon I played guitar and did the backing vocal. The organ, horn section and piano are from midi styles lost in time. There is also a small drum loop before the solo. The new real tracks: RealTracks in style: 1434:Bass, Electric, JazzFunkPoppy Ev16 110 RealTracks in style: 1570:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Soul60sHighBackBeat Ev 110 RealDrums in style: Motown60sPopEven: a: Snare, HiHatb: Snare, Ride D.I.V.O.R.C.E. Why do you want to take away all my money? Why do you want to see the colour of my blood? Why do you want to suck the soul out of my body? And throw away the empty husk Haven’t I been good to you Haven’t I been good as a man could be Haven’t I been good to you Why do you want a D.I.VO.R.C.E. Why do you want to strip away my pride? Why do you want to rob me of my self respect? Have you forgotten all about the good times baby? Can’t you take a moment to reflect Haven’t I been good to you? Haven’t I been good as a man could be? Haven’t I been good to you? Why do you want a D.I.VO.R.C.E.? Why do you want a D.I.VO.R.C.E. Why do you want a D.I.VO.R.C.E. Haven’t I been good to you baby Why do you want a D.I.VO.R.C.E. Why do you want to take away my brand new Cadillac? And the house that we used to share You’re gonna’ leave me with these boots I’m wearing And you’re acting like you just don’t care I saw you driving with your fancy boyfriend I felt like my brain was gonna burst right through my skull Did you leave me just because he’s big and handsome? Did you really think our marriage was that dull? Haven’t I been good to you? Haven’t I been good as a man could be? Haven’t I been good to you? Why do you want a D.I.VO.R.C.E.? Why do you want a D.I.VO.R.C.E. Why do you want a D.I.VO.R.C.E. Haven’t I been good to you Why, why do you want that damn thing? Haven’t I, haven’t I been good to you baby? Oh haven’t I been good as a man can be?

(I hope it's not based on personal experience!) The guitar solo at the end was great, and I can totally imagine this song going over quite well in a live venue https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ey71h8ep047758h/AAC12jNM0Hz9Q8zsh5iDeqNHa?dl=0

The drums solo was a super addition (I assume that was the loop you mentioned?). Nice guitar ending.. Enjoyed that... floyd 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

Horns, drums, your guitar, the cool vocals...the whole mix just rocks. This grabs you from the intro and never lets go. We have some R.E.S.P.E.C.T!! Great. J&B Edit: oops saw that I stole Guenter's line! Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks!
