Registered: 03/02/15 Posts: 9 RobThur Newbie Registered: 03/02/15 Posts: 9	Hi Everyone. I've been introduced to PG Music software by ROG who I go to for lessons and this is the first song I've written with it. It's all recorded in Realband using Realdrums, but the rest is played in live. It's mixed and mastered in Powertracks with a little help from ROG. BAD REPUTATION She's got the eyes of an angel got the smile of a saint She's got a face like a picture that's too beautiful to paint. She's got perfect locks of long brown hair and when She walks by, you've just got to stop and stare. He wasn't handsome but he'd got all the moves He had all the girls looking and he knew what to do He had a look that would capture their souls He had infinite power and total control She walked over with her bedroom eyes He said "hold on baby I won't tell you no lies I've got a bad reputation". They weren't faking there was too much at stake They never thought that they could make a mistake They didn't think, they didn't care They never thought they might be going nowhere He wasn't worried, about getting caught She wasn't worried, she didn't give a thought about his Bad reputation. She walked in with a gun in her hand, she said Hey girl stay away from my man I had suspicions now there ain't no doubt She raised her hand and a shot rang out. She dropped to the floor, she looked in his eyes He said "Hold on baby didn't tell you no lies I've got a bad reputation". Thanks for listening. Rob.

Felt the chorus was a little dated (70's). Overall this is grunty and a good write. Rob.

Hopefully more tracks will follow soon! don't forget to wait until the first song scrolls off the first page... (common courtesy...) more than 20 people posting songs and only 20 spots on page 1 having said that... I thought this was very good! Rog has quite the talented group of students!I'm not sure I'd use the word "dated" because music and genre and taste cover such a wide expanse of possibilities... but I will say that it's reminiscent of what I listened to in the 70s, and it probably could have been a hit if you were around to release it then. <soap box> Quote: My only objection to the lyrics (and this is an old man speaking) I don't like songs that include lyrics about shooting people. I know its fiction, but as long as we keep glorifying it in song (and that's what music does best) there will continue to be people who copycat what's happening in the culture of the music they listen to. </soap box> But I really like the song!

Good vocals. Terrific guitar work! Nicely recorded and mixed. I thought the drums could be louder. I always think that Very enjoyable listen. Catchy, too... it's still in my head. Well done. floyd _________________________ 125+ BIAB Songs

I love a beat that drives along and this one really rocks. Not a half bad solo for a bass player, Rob! Great vox and backing vocals too, for someone who has only just started singing. I know how hard you worked at it. What a good song for a first post. Looking forward to hearing your ideas for the follow-up. ROG. _________________________ Free online guitar lessons.
