WTG Please use alternate link at bottom of page if you have issues with SoundCloud. A few weeks ago I pondering all the social media/texting short cuts, e.g., LOL, OMG, WTG, etc and ended up writing what I felt was a decent verse, chorus and hook....but the muse, who rarely visits, abruptly left. I revisited it a couple of times and remained stonewalled. Still thinking I might have something going I ask floyd if he'd help out. And he did, big time. In short order he added another verse, the bridge and came up with a great melody. A while back we co-wrote "Tryin'" and it resulted in us posting a guy and a gal version. So look for the guy version of this from floyd! It's all just for fun but we do welcome and appreciate your comments! J&B Lead Vocal: Janice (Rodes NT1 interfaced to Logic Pro X via USB Blue Icicle) Harmony Vocal: floyd Bud: Mix and Mastering (Ozone 6 and Nectar2) Bass: RT 712 Acoustic Bossa, ev, simple R Guitar 1: RT 1595 Fingerpicking Pop 8ths Steady ev R Guitar 2: RT 2200 Nylon, Background, ev Cello: RT 1856 PopCountry, ev Fiddle: RT 2028 Soloist, ev Banjo: RT 1758 Pop16ths, ev Thanks floyd for the nylon guitar suggestion and the idea of letting the RT's build. WTG V1 Our years together weren't all heaven but neither were they hell better than a life alone, far as I could tell So it caught me off guard when you said you were leaving if you walk out that door, you'll leave me nothing to believe in Chorus Staring out the window, wondering what it's all about dark clouds moving in while you are moving out If you're hanging 'round to see if I'm going to fall apart Way to go, good job, you're off to a damn good start V2 Something that once passed for love turn in to passing time now past the point of no return, no reason, no rhyme it cracked, it crumbled, it resisted repair it teetered, it tumbled, for the lack of a little care chorus bridge I held out hope that we could find a way to make things better I'm left holding my breath and trying to hold myself together chorus © 2015 Bud Merritt/floydjane Alternate Link to play WTG

Almost had to lookup "WTG" when Janice rescued me! Guess I'm not as clued up on social media as I like to think I am. Love the fiddle and the very subtle banjo. Good one guys

J & B
Really great, fantastic lyric, pleasant laid-back pace. The strings really balance the song nicely, giving it a 'forlorn' feel.
Top job once again.

WTG Guys! Another I75 classic.
Regards,
Bob Thanks Bob! Yeah man connected by 75 and the net. Almost had to lookup "WTG" when Janice rescued me! Guess I'm not as clued up on social media as I like to think I am. Love the fiddle and the very subtle banjo. Good one guys Thank you. Glad Janice rescued you. Yeah if we were commercially oriented we'd definitely call it "Way To Go" but what the heck -- a little whimsy. On the banjo, I had tried it...didn't like it but then floyd mentioned it with the notion of letting it enter the late into the song and contribute to the build. That man's good at that stuff.

Like everything about this one. Love the fiddle. The nice strong vocals.
The light whimsical tone of the piece and the word plays.
Held, holding, hold in the bridge, leavin, believe in, movin in movin out,
cracked, crumbled, resisted repair
teetered, tumbled, lack of a little care.
Enjoy that. Cheers.

Excellent listen. Radio ready production, beautiful singing. You always choose great songs so I was a little surprised this was written in house instead of a public domain song. Really strong writing.
