Just finished this one, no AI vocals this time so you'll have to put up with me instead! Still rough around the edges, but passable imo.

Chain Of Broken Hearts
Words (c) P McNaught 2025
Music BIAB 2025
Mixed and recorded in Mixcraft Pro Studio 10



Lyrics:-
Chain Of Broken Hearts

[Verse]
Mama said, "Son, be careful who you love,"
But I fell hard like lightning from above.
She had a smile that could tear you apart,
Now I'm just a link in her chain of broken hearts.

[Chorus]
Chain of broken hearts, stretching out for miles,
Line of fools who fell for her dangerous smiles.
It’s a lesson you learn, though it tears you down,
In her chain of broken hearts, you're just another clown.

[Verse]
I met her in a bar just outside of town,
Her lipstick was red, and her hair was down.
When she danced, the whole world stopped and stared,
But she left me out in the cold without a care.

[Chorus]
Chain of broken hearts, stretching out for miles,
Line of fools who fell for her dangerous smiles.
It’s a lesson you learn, though it tears you down,
In her chain of broken hearts, you're just another clown.

[Bridge]
I’m not the first, and I won’t be the last,
She’s got a way of erasing your past.
Strung along like a bead, we all play our part,
On that endless chain of broken hearts.

[Chorus]
Chain of broken hearts, stretching out for miles,
Line of fools who fell for her dangerous smiles.
It’s a lesson you learn, though it tears you down,
In her chain of broken hearts, you're just another clown.

Nice country rocker. Nothing wrong with that song or your singing.

Pete, super song! Really nice hook, interesting middle section and cool singalong ending. Your voice is really strong and sounds great throughout. Like your arrangement, though those choruses would really pop with some added harmonies. Nice one!

Thank you, I wasn't sure about the middle push I think it might benefit from an extra 2/4 bar just before it, so 6 beats instead of 4.... Will experiment lol. I do intend to put some harmonies in, just time constraints atm lol.


Regards to you all

Pete

Pete, there ain't nothing wrong with your voice and in fact I like it over the synth voices.
Outstanding country
Great vocal and lyrics
Super mix
An outstanding song


The bumper sticker said "I'm a veterinarian, therefore I can drive like an animal".
Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.
