Registered: 12/13/13 Posts: 692 olemon Journeyman Registered: 12/13/13 Posts: 692	I'm not a prolific songwriter, rarely do I set out to write a song. As in, 'Today, I'm going to write a song.' But, I did that very thing one day a few years back and ended up with this one. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for listening. http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12662719 SONG SOMEWHERE By Scott H.

Di and I have thought this a bunch of times...where in the heck is that song we need????? That mandolin and banjo are perfect! And when the acoustic guitar came in there for a couple bars...that was sweet, too! I echo the thought that the bass line could come up a bit. It's so danged hard to get the volume and tone right on the acoustic bass...at least it is for me. But i think you'd be safe to bring it up a bit. Great song, Scott! And your vocal shines! Thanks for the listening pleasure!

One thing I would look at is to perhaps look at reducing the time between some of the lines... it's a small thing.... I kept having the feeling throughout the song that the next line is coming in right...here.... nope.. ok there it is.... still loved it.

Trouble is, I can't remember where I put it! Love the sense of exasperation that the song has.

Anyone who has tried to write a song can relate to these lyrics. Super job on that, your mix and your vocal. _________________________ Don't mess with old people.

Registered: 12/13/13 Posts: 692 olemon Journeyman Registered: 12/13/13 Posts: 692	Thank you so much everyone for listening, for your kind words and for your suggestions. I'm fairly partial to this one, and I was hoping it would appeal to the songwriter in you too. I still can't get over how awesome it is to be able to take one of these songs and arrange it with these Real Tracks - simply amazing. And it's so helpful to be able to listen to your mixes, to hear what's possible - sure makes a world of difference for me. Take care everyone and thanks again. Scott

I sometimes feel that songs float around, like invisible fish, waiting to be snagged. Sometimes they come easy, sometimes they fight, and sometimes they nibble and tease for months or years. This is a really nice, thoughtful piece of work. Keep it up!! Greg

If I 'work' at them I can usually make progress, but I don't always like working on them.... Hey Noel: Thank you for the applause! I like that line myself:) _________________________ My songs are here: https://www.reverbnation.com/scottholson and here: https://soundcloud.com/scott-h-olson
