Just For One Day Simple and happy song this time, another one fitting Miira's voice nicely. The chorus melody sounds bit familiar to me, but I haven't figured out what it could be, maybe you can enlighten me, or tell me that my song is original enough  Comments welcome as always RealDrums: Rock16thsSync, ChoirClaps (made by Floyd?) RealTracks: Electric bass #2755 Acoustic guitar #362, #365, #2677 Electric guitar #2756, #2761, #1719, #2635 Electric guitar solo #1705 Resonator guitar #2626 Organ #689 Vocals: Miira Mixed in Adobe Audition 2017 Lyrics: Why am I doing this to myself? Why do I keep coming here once again? Stuck in routines in this bad job I keep on turning this tedious knob. Cut my chains, shake me babe just for one day show me there is another world no barriers blocking on the way. like playful cubs let's fool around make me feel like I'm not bound just for one day then back to my old life back to decay but a smile on my face. Why am I doing this to myself? why am I bending to your will again? stuck in your grip in this wedlock from breakfast to bedtime I live by your clock. [Chorus] Let's defy the laws and gods' will just for one day out of standstill life rollercoaster up and downhill on our glory day. Through the walls, the blaze of fire unrestrained rising higher "no contracts" sings an angel choir just for one day for one day. Why am I doing this to myself? why am I hooked again and again? stuck like an addict in bad habits junk food and booze no means to quit. [Chorus] ---------- Janne

Wow, you nailed this! Right from the first few bars, it's really attention-grabbing. I loved the groove, and found it pleasantly catchy I really enjoyed how the lyrics paint a picture too. Thanks so much for sharing!
Cheers,

Very nice lyric, arrangement and vocals -- the whole package works well.
The mix sounds really good on our monitors.
Like Deryk said "right from the first few bars it's really attention getting."
Kudos!!

I enjoyed this uptempo country rocker - a very nice choice of RT`s (and the handclaps!).
I don`t know about the chorus, but the verses reminded me of Richard Thompson`s Back Street Slide.
Well done.

Excellent delivery from every angle.
I really liked the driving beat you've managed to capture, and the choice of resonator guitar sits so well in the mix.
Miira's vocals are superb.
Great job, no question.

The vocals match so well with the style of the song! I can definitely see this song being on the radio! Perfect for just cruising around aimlessly with friends.
Thanks for sharing!

Hello, Janne
A very fun song!
Mira's vocal is wonderful.
The chord progression that is not normally used in country songs is properly used, and that is very interesting.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
