Once I Had A Life on Soundcloud
Once I Had A Life on YouTube


This is a song about how some guys just shouldn't get married and have kids. Janice Merritt sang the part of the wife, and I was the selfish husband. Neither of us is anything close to the story characters, so there was some good acting in there as well. Of course Bud did a great job with Janice's track that made it as easy as drop-n-play.

The dueling-mandos solo was a lot of Ctl+F8 doing. Love that feature.

Once I Had A Life

Once I had a life, and then I got a wife, and I was never alone.
She came and brought me joy. We had a little boy.
We made our house our home.

Our little man grew strong, and soon he was all gone.
The "we" became undone.
My wife she didn't care. She wasn't really there.
My life, it had no fun.

I know we once had a life. My son & I would thrive.
But he'd came home things just changed.
He'd get himself a drink, then threw up in the sink.
He never knew our son by name.

As the time ticked by, I looked her in the eye and asked,
"Do you know who I am?'
She said she didn't know, and told me I should go.
I turned away and ran.

Once I had a wife but then got back my life
in this house that once was home.
I like to sit and think, and mix myself a drink --enjoy my time alone. Now my life's my own.

LAST VERSE (other melody): I was his wife, I had no life. He was just drunk all of he time. Now my life's my own.

HAHAHA.

A delightful song. A dysfunctional "family".

This had all the markings of a long-ago traveling troubadour(s) singing to entertain the king's court.
(like Jaskier from The Witcher).

I can see the two of you in the costumes of the day...

Marty and Janice...great duet guys...I love the acoustic nature of the song and the mandolin solos...sad story too often true (relative to our culture it seems)...my only suggestion is that Marty your solos sounded a bit faint in spots IMO...I would love a few more dB in spots...loved it when you sang together...sad song delivered in a pleasant way...great job guys!

Marty, Janice, and bud have a winner on their hands.
Great lyrics, vocals, and mix.
Very clever song.

PS - I know a few families that experienced that!

Hi Marty and Janice,

Very clever song, love the lyrics.

For my tastes the vocals, especially yours Marty, should be a bit higher in the mix. But no one else mentioned that, so I'm probably wrong eek

Loved it at the end when the two of you are singing together, nicely done!

Thanks, Bob. Right, if anyone wants to sing better, get a great singer to sing with you. Janice has a new album out today, too.

Thank you, James. The end was my favorite, too. Those mandolin's both ran fast and didn't step on each other too much. A musical interpretation of skedaddle.

Hahahaha! Thanks, Floyd. Once you blew my mind with your Firesign Theatre comment, and now the Jaskier jester. Man, you're a gas, and thanks for spreading the fuel of inspiration.

Very cool match of voices and character actors.
The melody/counter melody part is fabulous.
Sadly it's a story of truth in so many ways.
Many, many men in 60s Australia went from work directly to the pub and eventually home for dinner when done. That fog of alcohol caused many families to worry & fret about how things would transpire over the evening meal.
Musically it's a cracker too. Jaunty and bouncing under a sad tale - almost a sea shanty.
Terrific work Marty & Janice.


Cheers

Marty,

Love this sweet-sounding tune! Also enjoyed that little pick me up in the middle section! I played before reading your description and got a big wow moment when Janice came in! Nobody had to tell me who she was I knew! Sounding great as usual! She's on more recordings ( and rightfully so) than Micheal McDonald! Loved it man!

Thanks, TB

Thanks, Dan. By my "solos" I assume you mean singing without Janice. Yeah, I tend to agree with you because I see below where Dave also mentioned it should be louder. Janice is way too good for me to properly mix my voice. It's like trying to mix Celine with Dylan or something. I'm just thrilled she agreed to dress this one up in its best attire. Thanks so much for the feedback.

Thanks, Dave! Nah, you ain't wrong. Dan also mentioned it. Besides, I know my mixing would be down right crap if not for your guidance. You new one (Train, Train) is mixed so well with yours and Chris's vocals. Yeah, I always wanted to do a counterpoint melody from the first time I heard Bing do it so well.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thank you, Ray. I grew up at the end of the coal-mining industry in our area. One town near us had the dubious distinction of being in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the most bars on one street.

That is so cool that you experienced it that way, Torrey. That must have been fun hearing Janice all of a sudden. It's like a somewhat dull song rises to the highest level of special when she enters the stage --like watching a high-school play and seeing Johnny Depp walk on stage.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Sounds like a fun song, first lyrical wizardry "Once I had a wife but then got back my life" and then the duelling mandolins made me smile even more. And finally the duetting Marty & Janice was the umbrella in this pleasant cocktail. Great mix, especially the drinks, enjoyed smile

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.

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.
