Hi All,

Here's something new - simple and lowfi...

This is called Baby Get Gone.

Can’t get along
With my dreams
I lose my footing
Fall off the beam
I’m lost in the city
On some avenue
Without a name
Without a clue

So get gone baby
Get gone baby
Baby get gone

Don’t want angels
In my view
I can see the lights
They are tinted blue
I’m looking for heartbreak
To hold the line
Buy some options
Buy some time

So get gone baby
Get gone baby
Baby get gone

Can’t face the night
With myself
I like company
Good for my health
I’m closing my eyes
On this memory foam
Without you here
Without you home

So get gone baby
Get gone baby
Baby get gone

So get gone baby
Get gone baby
Baby get gone

So get gone baby
Get gone baby
Baby get gone

Wonderful work - super catchy chorus, excellent vocal and a sympathetic backing band.
Top notch song writing.

That's cool.
I like the arrangement - good choices.
The only tweaks I'd suggest is to EQ away the click in the kick so it's more thud and use a little EQ to reduce the level of the high hat.
Good work!

Bob, one thing I can count on when listening to a new tune of yours is that the vocal will be great and the lyrics excellent and you've done it again! Nice work! Thanks, Torrey
Posted By: Tangmo Re: Baby Get Gone - 10/23/18 06:41 PM
That's a really extra-fine folk-rock song. Simple and to the point, yet still leaves me with some room for imagination. Loved your vocal and the tonally well-matched high-distorted guitar. Really like this.

Nice work. I especially like the acoustic in this and the other instrumentation that complement the melody and your voice. Catchy chorus!

Loved this song Bob. This sounds really good on the headphones. Super backtrack. Excellent vocal and lyric. Well done

Excellent, as usual. Solid production, poetic lyrics, sparse but effective arrangement.

I liked the fade out with the dry kick.
Posted By: Deej56 Re: Baby Get Gone - 10/23/18 11:54 PM
Bob,

Cool tune—nice inviting feel to this one. Great vocal keeps the listener hanging on the next word. Production stellar as well. I always struggle with drums on my tunes—not so much anyone else on this board—and here I think you just nail the drums. Really provides some good backbone. The electric guitar kills as well. Excellent work!

All the best,

Deej

Nice work on this one, Bob smile It gets right to the point - very concise, and very well executed. All the trademarks of a solid tune. Your vocals are memorable and stand out well, and it is perfectly catchy as well.

You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing!
Posted By: rsdean Re: Baby Get Gone - 10/24/18 02:19 PM
Torrey,

That's very kind - thank you.

Bob

Bob,
Your songs know just how to get under the skin - simple and catchy, yes, but with some cool, quirky lyrics that leave space for the imagination.
And of course that signature clear upfront vocal.
I think you`ve made as good use of the Americana RT`s as anyone posting here.
Excellent work!

Bob,

Outrageously good!!

Terrific write. Love the BAND! And your vocal/delivery is one of your best ever.

This truly sounds like an opening cut off an album - an introduction that says "Listen up! You are in for a treat!" Cool album-cover picture to go with it....

One of your best (among so many good ones). You just keep getting better...

We rarely use a quote in a response but, man, this just nailed our feeling. There is never any fluff in your lyrics. Nothing to add and nothing to take away. THE sweet spot.

"Can’t get along
With my dreams
I lose my footing
Fall off the beam
I’m lost in the city
On some avenue
Without a name
Without a clue "

Whoa, if that doesn't invite you in nothing will!

All the cool "Bob Signatures" are here > great band, write, arrangement, vocal and mix.

Yeah, we like it!!!

I wish I had written that.

Bob this is without a doubt my favorite thing from you.

Gutsy and brilliant to the core.

This is what rock and roll is about about man.

LOVE it.

Hi Bob,

Kenny set it all, from my POV. I agree with him completely. You never disappoint!

Wow Bob, this is special and one of your best. You've demonstrated here how less is certainly more. The lyrics are first class and so is the vocal, not to mention the overall arrangement and production.
I agree with Floyd that the kick drum could do with less 'click' and more low end, but that's nothing in the scheme of things. This is a terrific track.

Great write! I love the chorus - the front to back play on the line.


I like the reverb on your vocal, just right.


You've captured an emotive vibe and delivered another great song!

"rsdean"...

First thing I noticed about "Baby, Get Gone", was the size and presence of the sound: "phat", steady, implacable and spacious-sounding drum work, sinuous and interlocking guitar lines, wave-like but subtle volume level changes that created the effect of the song moving around in space, surround style...I guess I'm trying to say that your production sensibilities are solid, imaginative. "Great sonic texture", as Greg Johnson said in his post.

The song itself is sensuous, stark, full of spare images that blossom in the mind, fade out, and then flash into life, over and again, with each line of verse. It just has that life-seen-from-all-sides sound to it.

Concerning your lyrics, I liked the brevity of the lines. You sang them as though your breath was halted by the emotion that each phrase conjured up.

Haunting, powerful, yet measured and reflective. That's how "Baby, Get Gone" affected me, "rsdean". If this was on a record, I'd play it last, for maximum effect.

Caught up in it,

LOREN (.a.k.a. "bluage")

This is the best song I have heard from you, nice pop melody with catchy simple chorus. Reminds me of Lou Reed, could be a perfect fit/hit for an Indie movie. Electric and acoustic guitar play well together. Excellent mix, your voice sounds very clear.

Great song and production Bob. Everything meshed together. Very good mix and write. Enjoyed this a lot. Time for me to "get gone" to another listen.....

And we love that AltCountryMoody RT BTW.

Thanks very much. I am also a big Goldsboro fan, especially his early stuff.

Posted By: Noel96 Re: Baby Get Gone - 11/04/18 06:27 PM
Bob,

You've done it again! This song really pulled me into it. I'm with Bud and Janice in that the first verse lyrics grab hold and reel the listener in big time. There's no escaping the song after that. The backing is a perfect frame for your songwriting and your signature vocals.

Definitely one to be proud of!

All the best,
Noel

Bob,

Wonderful vocal on the very tight rhythm!
This song reminds me of John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" a little bit.
I agree with floyd.
This truly sounds like an opening cut off an album - an introduction that says "Listen up! You are in for a treat!" Cool album-cover picture to go with it....
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
