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=12662719SONG SOMEWHERE By Scott H.

Scott, Yeah Man! I really like this. Going back for another listen. Great lyrics and and great vocals. My only nit is the bass seemed light. I also really like the melody. Keep em coming. Tom

Hey Scott...
Yes sir...we're liking this a bunch. 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!
Al & Di

Ain't that the truth....?
great song.
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.

Yes - we've all got a song somewhere. Trouble is, I can't remember where I put it!  Love the sense of exasperation that the song has. Amusing and heartfelt. cheers ian

Very nice, I like this a lot. Anyone who has tried to write a song can relate to these lyrics. Super job on that, your mix and your vocal.

Clever and easy to relate to lyrics wrapped up with good vocals and a fine supporting mix. Thanks for the chance to listen!! BTW, at least you sit down to write. What few I get often come to me while mountain biking!

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 really like this concept. Very interesting idea. 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

Hi Scott,
*clap clap clap*
That was really enjoyable. I really like the concept of telling stories with guitar stings.
Clever writing.
All the best,
Noel

Greg: Thank you for that. I hear 'ya. I often have a line, or a chorus, no verses, maybe one verse. 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:)
