Way To A Woman's Heart This seems to be my third song this year on this forum with 'woman' in the title. Pure coincidence, but tells where my inspiration has come from lately  I have had a vocaloid version of this on soundcloud for couple of years, but now I have finally sung it myself. The original arrangement sounded bit harsh so I had to find a softer but still rocking instruments. I was happy to find the combination of PopPepSquad drums and baritone guitars, BIAB fulfilled my wishes once again Unfortunately the baritone guitars don't have nice-sounding holds so I had to use filling guitars for those parts. RealDrums: PopPepSquad RealTracks: Electric bass #995 Baritone guitars #2499, #3164 Electric guitars #632, (hold #996 & #2352) Electric guitar soloist #1722 Sax Tenor #715 Organ #671 MIDI: guitar riff (ST3) Vocals by me Mixed in Cakewalk by Bandlab Lyrics: Alone licking all my wounds trying to figure out what I did and what you cried about. You have faked your pain I was fooled again just like a lab mouse in your surveys been running in your maze. On the way to a woman's heart each mile has left a trace all my clothes are torn blood stains on my face. The way to a woman's heart is way too long I'm lost at every crossroad I have always chosen wrong. Alone fallen one more time a jungle in the dark on your trail there's no signpost to your spark. Never felt the beat never tasted sweet you kept a distance from my glances you never gave me a chance. On the way... I have never reached my destination frustrated on the path overgrown always halfway there not even halfway there. On the way... ---------- Janne

Janne, interesting tune. For some strange reason, it reminds me of Japanese alternative pop songs, probably because of claps on drums, which I feel was a great decision. Very good arrangement! Guitars and bass work very well on this. But why such a violent way to that special woman's heart ? P.S. I admire your bravery bending rhymes to your needs. Most of my life I lived in US, and still shaping some words and phrases are a great challenge for me. Mental block

Janne,
This is really well done. A GREAT pop sound! Great drive to it.
Cool drums. It is great when someone uses a track that hasn't been displayed in the Showcase before...
Nice mix. Enjoyed.

Nicely interesting upbeat catchy toe-tapping pop song...
I like the sound of the guitar picking over the chords on "been running in your maze"...
Pretty neat effect...
I really enjoyed this musical work.

Mental block Thanks Misha for your kind feedback I agree about the drums, I'm really glad I found that RD while re-arranging this tune. I received feedback from a guy who said that this song sounds like it's about him and his feelings. So I guess that violent way is quite universal theme  I like playing with words also outside lyrical landscapes so it feels natural to me play with words also with my songs. I'm flattered by your admiration Janne

This is a really good pop song. The intro and chord progressions are excellent. Your vocal is really good. Your dynamics are excellent making this song very powerful.
Excellent song.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

fj Thanks Floyd, always nice to read your positive feedback I'm pretty sure that I have heard those drums used on some showcase song earlier this year. But I wouldn't mind hearing it many more times. Janne

Excellent choice of RD's/RT's for this strong pop tune.
We very much like those drums...as others have already said.
There's a lot of raw emotion on display here...strong vocal delivery.
And the mix sounds excellent on our monitors. Everything sits in a good place!
Enjoyed it...
