It's been a crazy couple of months since I have been able to check in here! I plan on getting caught up with listening to some of the great songs I know I've been missing over the next few days. Just wrote this one. All the instruments are RT's/RD's. The female "oooh's" are East/West samples, and the rest of the vocals are me (cheap labor). Hope you enjoy it... Oh, No (He's In Trouble) Oh, No (He's In Trouble)© Stephen W. YoungHe was prone to wander. Not the settling kind Had it all together. Just looking for a good time He saw her in the corner She was the prettiest thing he'd seen Then he made a fatal mistake When he asked her "what's your name" Oh, no, he's in trouble. He better get out of here She's about to set her trap for him. That's very clear She'll have him bringing her flowers, and shopping for hours And watching the romance films Oh, no, he's in trouble. But I'm afraid it's too late for him I was hanging around one night. The band just finished a set I saw her sitting there alone, and said "I don't think we've met" She looked at me and blinked her eyes And said the sweetest thing And before I knew it I was looking for a ring Oh, no, I'm in trouble. Don't want to get out of here She set her trap for me. That's very clear She's got me bringing her flowers, and shopping for hours And watching the romance movies Oh, no, I'm in trouble. And I know it's too late for me Now there's nothing more persuasive Than a woman with a made up mind You can try to resist her It's just a matter of time Oh, no, he's in trouble. He better get out of here She's about to set her trap for him. That's very clear She'll have him bringing her flowers, and shopping for hours And watching the romance films Oh, no, he's in trouble. But I'm afraid it's too late for him Oh, no, I'm in trouble. Don't want to get out of here She set her trap for me. That's very clear She's got me bringing her flowers, and shopping for hours And watching the romance movies Oh, no, I'm in trouble. And I know it's too late for me --- RealTracks/Realdrums...

Hi Steve,
Totally loved it! That intro is a real attention grabber - especially the drum. Great country sound. This is really good stuff, Steve. How about a little more of ot soon?
Loved that bridge ... a perfect fit. I only use a bridge when absolutely necessary and think you nailed it. Great song and performance!

What a tune, Stephen! This one caught my ear right from the first second, all the way through to the end. It is wonderfully catchy, and the arrangement is seriously on point! Thanks so much for sharing 
Cheers, Deryk

Nice write, Steve. Terrific commercial sound to this.
Excellent BAND. Excellent mix. Excellent vocals. All hallmarks of your work - always...
You always open my eyes to RTs I haven't used before - that bass on this one... (stealing that, for sure...)
Great listen. I could hear Lyle Lovett doing this...

What a great choice of RT's. We were immediately grabbed by how cohesive the "band" sounded. BiaB and talent are indeed formidable.
It's a great catchy write that makes you want to immediately listen again. And the vocal performance is a wonderful complement to the melody.
And you wrapped it all up in a, in our opinion, perfect production for the song. Your vocal is out front and it well deserves that position. Nice.
Enjoyed it and will continue to do so.

Very much appreciated. Good thing all girl's aren't like this. Great tune, mellow with cute lyrics. Thanks so much, Ember! Totally meant this song "tongue in cheek".

Well done as always Steve! +1 to all that's already been said - such a pro sounding production and fun song.
I'm so glad to hear you on here - I was concerned about you during hurricane Harvey.

Steve,
you may know the album "next big thing" by Vince Gill. There's one song in particular that this song reminds me of, what was it again... Oh, I remember: she never makes me cry (or something). Anyway, you get the idea.
Cool!
Rob

Hello, Steve
Very nice intro! Very catchy! Very splendid and pleasant vocal! It reminds me of Presley or some pop singer who played an active part in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The mixing is really wonderful. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Kenny Thanks so much, Kenny! I was a fan of JJ Cale's music, and I've always thought Don Williams had one of the great Country voices. Two very influential talents. I appreciate your very kind words, and consider them a very high compliment. Steve
