I JUST WANT MY BABY BACK 21/06/2018

theres a cold front coming in tonight
weve just had our first big fight
and im here wondering where my babys gone

ive looked here and ive looked there
man ive looked everywhere
im sorry baby if i done you wrong

cos my babys out there after midnight
walking along those heartbreak streets
my babys out there and it aint right
i just want my baby here with me


now loves a word thats pushed around
it picks you up then pulls you down
any fool can love just like that

but im the fool in love with her
and id follow herv to the end of this earth
and asll she'd have to do was just ask

cos my babys out there after midnight
walking along those heartbreak streets
my babys out there and it aint right
i just want my baby here with me


FIDDLE SOLO/GTR SOLO


Cos my babys out there after midnight
walking along those heartbreak streets
my babys out there and it aint right
i just want my baby here with me

Very fun tune Biglad! This definitely got my feet shuffling. Great progression and instrumentation. Well done!

Hey Brad,
I love the western swing arrangement you've done here. The song is a real top tapper. There are a few places where the vocal double is coming in before the lead vocal which caught me off guard for Western Swing style. Other than that little nit, I think it sounds great. Congrats on the new DAW.

John,

That sounds good. Your best mix so far, I think. So, Studio One is definitely doin' ya right! Studio One is the DAW I use - love it.

A good listen.

I agree completely.

This is perfect country swing!

Nice tune Brad!! I like the authentic feel. Lyrics are just what the song calls for...a simple, heartfelt story with a cute, warm slant. Excellent job!! Take care. Greg

As Josie said, a real toe-tapper. I enjoyed the listen! smile

About the background vocals: one of the nice things about DAWs is being able to edit audio instead of having to re-do a bad take. So if you find you're coming in at the wrong point, you can shift the audio so it lines up correctly.

In my DAW - and Studio One, I think - you can click on an audio clip to select it, and then drag it where you want it to go with the mouse.

But... typically there's something like "Snap To Grid" that automatically aligns the audio clip to 16th note (or larger) increments. To move the audio clip without it "snapping" in my DAW, I can hold down the Shift key while dragging the clip. I think it works that way in Studio One, too.

Thanks for posting!

Real nice feel to this comfy, easy to listen swing track… Vocals are really great… And the lyrics fit the tune perfectly… Thanks for sharing!

What a tune! This took precisely 10 seconds to hook me. That groove is unreal, and carries the tune along perfectly. I'm loving the classic country vibe here, and your vocals on top are top notch. This is some proper road trip music right here.

You nailed this one - thanks for sharing smile

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing...

Nicely done!
