We love the video and the song, Josie! Your smiles in the video from sweet to mischievous are perfect and the lyric is one that many folks can relate to, I’m sure. Our sisters have often talked about seeing an old boyfriend on FB and saying to us, “what was I thinking?!”  The band and mix sound fine on our new Kali monitors too. Well done. Enjoyed it! J&B
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! A few of our videos are here on our website: https://www.janiceandbud.com/our-music.html

Cool song! A fun listen and the video effects are very creative! About you vocals: My 2 cents is...... It's not a volume thing, I think the vocals need a little EQ to brighten them up, maybe cut below 250HZ and boost a bit around 5k and again around 12k I'm thinking that would make the vocal pop a bit  I enjoyed that. moto Thank you Moto! I appreciate the advice which I will keep in mind to try in future use. I often high pass more than Nectar 3 suggests but usually not quite that much. Josie

Nicely rocking groove, good instrumentation (the horns work really well) and positively emotional performance. Maybe the vocals could be little louder, because I missed some lines of lyrics.
Janne Thank you Janne! Here are lyrics. A LIttle Bit More Hell (Oh Well) ©Josie Beck ASCAP Today I went online and tracked you down. Saw that big new house where you're living now. Looks like you and her are together still. And I'm not really sure why I am doing this. After all it was me who ended it. Way back when I thought my broken heart would never mend I'm looking for your picture on a website page. Wondering what you look like now that you've aged. And I could get your number for a one time fee. Call you up and rock your boat when I say it's me. After all I'm the one who loved you then. Way back when I thought my broken heart would never mend. If I heard your voice I could wish you well. But there's a teeny tiny part of me that still thinks you shouldda gone through just little more hell yeah, a little more hell. Just a little bit more hell than I can tell. Oh well. After all the lies you told me that I believed. You know I had no choice then. I had to leave. We both know I'm the one who got away yeah. Way back when I thought my broken heart would never mend. Truth is I'm happy and I wish you well. But there's a teeny tiny part of me that still thinks you shouldda gone through just a little more hell yeah. a little more hell. Just a little bit more hell than I can tell. Oh well. (spoken ad lib) I ain't holding no grudges baby, you forgiven now.

So glad I subscriber to you YT channel, Josie. I started enjoying this beauty the day you uploaded it. What a great idea and execution for the video. That's funny about looking him up and feeling the angst. I'll bet he was looking you up and feeling regret. This is such a fun song so finely mixed. A treat to listen to.

Hi Josie ...
Love that non-stop 4/4 beat! Great band members you assembled - maybe you should give them a raise??!!!. I would add just a touch of high EQ on the vocal - perhaps a slight nudge at the 5K - 7K spot. Just a comment for your consideration. That's the only thing I would change. Great song and video! Fool stuff!!!

Nice write - fun song! I liked the vocals and the band... and the drum fill at the end made me laugh out loud!  But like some others, I had trouble making out the lyrics. Good to see you in the video as well! Thank you David! Lyrics are a couple of posts up. Glad you enjoyed the video and that you got a kick out my drum ending.

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
