So here's the thing, if I try to help and state what's missing to make this a current sounding country song; I'm a troll, right?

--OR--

I say nothing and the people who don't listen to this style of music anyway will tell you how this is an example of modern country.

For the record, I REALLY like this song. The melody and feel is FANTASTIC. With a few tweaks this could be the song you already think it is. But it's not there yet, in my opinion.

The problem I frequently run into on these posts that gets me in trouble is; I don't feel you are looking for help. You are looking for pats on the back for what you have accomplished. I mean, I don't think at any point in this thread or the original post of the song, you asked what could you do to make it better...because you weren't looking to do that.

It's a great song, no doubt about it. I know I even commented that when you first posted it. That chorus REALLY gets stuck in my head. Love it!

Anyway, I tend to want to help if I can. Now, I see now that my advice is actually un-asked for criticism. I didn't see that as being a troll; but can see where it would be taken that way. You aren't asking, so why I am saying anything.

Rock on. Great song, strongly written.

--Side Question-- I know you mentioned you had a whole Album coming out. Did I miss it? I would love to hear it. I really like what I've heard so for from you.
Not looking for any kind of pat on the back but wondering why we are having this conversation yet again. It's already been shown that making modern music is possible using BIAB but if you have advice go ahead and share. That song is not done by any means. I actually want to rework it for a possible album. Then it will probably be even more current sounding.

As I stated in my post the other song is actually a better example of modern country. I would be more interested in your opinion of that one.

I did put an outlaw country album out last December. It's called Scars Of The heart and can be found at https://open.spotify.com/album/23R6ULT2T5KARuT4d6RRRW?si=KODjDcp-R_SDfzRxDCFybQ or on any other of the major music sites.
