Yeah, the title is a rip off, but, you can probably guess where the song is going if you watch the show. My wife and I watch all of them. Fixer upper, home town, we are from Laurel, where Hometown is filmed. For some reason they never fix up the old homes that are all over Laurel, maybe some day they will. Anyway the song used BIAB drums, bass and piano giving us the solid back beat here. Enjoy

Love old style country that has a modern twist. Good lyrics and story line.
Great effort. Rob

Really nice job on this one, cliftond smile I agree with Rob - this tune definitely balanced the new and old style of country quite well. I really like the groove too. It had my foot tapping within the first few measures. Plus, the vocals are on point.

Great work, and thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

A good ol' country beat -- but wait, there's more! Haha. You fused this really well with an old country sound with the new sort of country sound that has been popular lately. Really nice fusion!


Cheers,
Ember

The Fixer Upper in the key of C

Now everybody's talking about the house renovators, watching them on TV
so many flips & flops & fixer uppers, puts a strain on the wife & me
Me & her need a break sometimes an internet escape indeed
She don't care and I don't mind, when or where just let it be

( chorus )
She don't care and I don't mind, somethings got to set us free
The kids can play the cats will stray, it's a show called reality
The sun's gonna rise come rain or shine, even Chip & Joann will see
That she don't care and I don't mind, when or where just let it be

Instrumental

She don't Care and I don't mind, somethings got to set us free
The kids can play and the cat's will stray, it's a show called reality
The sun's gonna rise come rain or shine, even Ben and Erin will see
That she don't care and I don't mind, when or where just let it be

we should spend a week in Pensacola, let the sun burn you and me
take some chairs to the beach, keep em in reach, let the waves roll us on the sea
but there's a garden to till, and a puppy to find, we've got to pick about a million peas
Cause she don't care and I don't mind, when or where just let it be

She don't care and I don't mind, somethings got to set us free
The kids can play and the cat's will stray, it's a show called reality
The sun's gonna rise come rain or shine, even Chip and Joanna will see
That she don't care and I don't mind, when or where just let it be.

Thanks for all the nice comments and for listening!!!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Very cool idea for a song. Nice story telling. The BIAB tracks you used work well for this song. It's a very fun listen.

Very smooth, and easy to listen to--enjoyed the instrumental break, and the true-country style harmonies.
I liked the hook "She don't care and I don't mind" -- very catchy!
And the BIAB guys backed you up real nice on this one.
Thanks for sharing it!

This song popped up & played when I finished listening to another person's song on Soundcloud... so I tracked it down here at the Forum to let you know I enjoyed it... good job.

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
