Try It (it might be your favorite) © Marty Ricciotti May 17 2021 Key: D 160 BPM Verse 1 Shred zucchini, mix it all good. Add some chocolate, yes you should. Bake that cake forty minutes, at three twenty five. Potato chip crumbs sprinkled on top. Those green peas really make it pop. Tuna casserole on Friday night. Chorus Oh won’t you try it!

The 2584:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PunkMuted Ev 165 is a bit of a dud... the rest of the band suits your voice well. Jubilee did a grand job particularly on the 2nd half of the chorus. That said the bridge was definitely wobbly. Fun song! Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe

I thought the lyrics looked awkward, but you pulled it together with your melody and that driving beat. Heh. Guess that means I did what the song said. I was skeptical, I tried it, and I liked it. Might need this one for my granddaughter :-/ Last edited by Phil Leith; 08/24/21 08:38 AM. https://soundcloud.com/phil-leith https://www.youtube.com/leithp

Other than the fact I gained 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) listening to this song I loved it. The lyrics were expertly sung. Your vocal and harmonies were spot on as was your mix. This is an outstanding song. OK, a random thought; Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it? 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

OP Marty Ricciotti Apprentice Joined: Jun 2019 Posts: 139 Windsor, Ontario	Thanks Ray! We had a lot of fun singing this song. It started off as a blue grass song in a higher key, but I couldn't hit the high note in the chorus. (so I thought.. how could I write a song that I couldn't sing??) So I hunted for a different style and really liked the way the drums are played with this style. That was my main draw

I had the song completed for a few weeks before Jubilee came over. Then we sang it through for an hour or so. We were singing together just a few feet apart and did get some bleed across the tracks but it doesn't seem to be noticeable in the final mix. Then we saved to last two takes and used then in the song. We are double tracking in the choruses.

This is an outstanding song. Well Mario thanks for the listen. "Expertly sung"! Well that is high praise. Jubilee is a vocal teacher so I take all the help I can get. She can hear things in the mix that I miss. "Hey cut that part out because we didn't match there" and "just use my final chorus take and use it in all of the spots"
