A cheerful song this time.
When you feel down or get depressed, singing is a great help, especially if you sing with someone else or other people.
That's what this song is about.

Singing with you

When I'm down and out and all the things turn into failures
When it looks like nothing's clear
and you're not here
When I'm miserable all day long
And I can't even write a song
And when even my dog doesn't love me... won't go out with me

There is only one thing I can do
It's music that I have to listen to
Music on my tablet or pc,
radio or tv
So when I think I'll never reach the top
I'll let the music cheer me up
Yet there's one thing I'd better do
and that is singing with you

When I'm down and out and all the world seems a disaster
And it's raining cats and dogs
and I'm almost in a shock
When I don't feel like going out
And I feel that I can only shout
And when even my cat seems to hate me... and won't look at me

Chorus

Hope it will cheer you all up wink

Rob and Anne-Marie, It is impossible to feel depressed when hearing this. I should start every day with a dose of this along with my coffee. Once again very well sung and produced along with an entertaining video. What's not to like? Tom

Rob and Anne-Marie,

I like it!

The video is AWESOME. SO many good part. The cat! The sax solo - nice!!! The stops - well done! ...just to mention a few.

This is your most "American" song. The writing seems so. But, especially Rob's vocal... sounds like you grew up here (That is IMPRESSIVE!!!)

Well done - all around.

Hi Rob and Anne-Marie,

a really uplifting song to begin the day with.
Great vocals and harmonies.
Excellent video. Must have taken ages to get the
footage together.
Little nit: Since you have embedded the video in your
post I can't see it on full screen.
I enjoyed your production a lot.

The video is terrific but I can almost see you two with the striped vaudeville style hats going into a soft shoe dance routine during the break.
Great lyrics and the melody and arrangement are just joyful.
I love this and you both sound wonderful doing it.

Very good production Rob & Anne-Marie. The vocals are just right, the tune is very catchy (made me want to sing along) and it's a very good write. The video always adds a nice touch and you did a great job on it. Excellent listen!

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks

MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:

There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:

1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track
