A good write. A really strong BAND. A very catchy chorus. The key change works wonders. Well sung. Excellent mix!
fj Mucho gracias, Floyd!

Ezekiel:
Great write—some real cool and clever lines in this one (“The whispered way between a boy and a girl / You take it and make it the news of the world”—great stuff!). Arrangement and bad are all good—no nits here from me. At first, the vocal, while excellent, struck me as not fitting the tune . . . but actually by the end I was thinking it was perfect for the tune given the write. Really nice work on this!
All my best to you,
Deej Deej, thanks so much for the listen and comment!

Your experiment worked out perfectly as this is a great song. I liked your vocal in this one and in fact I wouldn't change a thing on this song. Loved those lyrics! "I can’t take you for better or worse I’m gonna send you this love song in reverse" ..Brilliant Great groove and mix also.
Thanks, Mario. I appreciate your comments.

Scott,
Very nice song! You're right, we don't see that kind of modulation very often in country songs like this. However, it is very natural and familiar to my ears. It's a very simple song, but the part gives it a very nice accent. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

The key changes work very well, it's very clever to introduce them over the vocals (which are pretty good). Love it! I'm not 100% sure I get the title (for me "love song in reverse" is "esrever ni gnos evol")

Scott,
Great song. It's got a very cool Lou Reed vibe.
Loved it!

I don't think I ever introduced a key change in one of my songs. I should do it. Nice idea and song.

Great song Scott and clever write. The only comment I have would be to beef up the snare. PS> Also enjoyed the reverse clock 
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2025 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Fantastic hook! Great use of the BIAB style. My only suggestion would be to lose the space after each line in the verses to give the lines more continuity.

Hi Ezekiel,
An enjoyable song, you sing it good and the band is good too! I liked the lyrics (I can’t take you for better or worse, I’m gonna send you this love song in reverse) a lot. But it's the revenche mode isn't it ;-)
By the way, David gave some tips I can agree with. So, maybe you can make two versions?

Hi Scott, That key change worked a treat! I need to try that sometime. Cool song, I like the concept. Great vocal, and that guitar is right on the money. As far as the production goes, simple is almost always better in my book  Good one, enjoyed. Thanks a bunch, Dave!

Clever write. Funny lyrics, especially "Silence is gold and That’s why you're so poor". The key change works very well, makes the chorus really pop up, catchy melody also. Simple but very likable instrumentation. Very expressive vocals.
Janne Janne, I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment.

We enjoyed the different take on the typical love song and your key change worked well. As two folks with heavy southern accents we think you’ve got the country twang down very well in your vocal.  The band had our feet tapping from start to finish. And the snare has a great pop to it. Good one! J&B

You hooked me with the title and the music lyrics delivered the goods. I was smiling as I listened.
