Rob Scratching and Itching You gave your word that you would stay with me all your live long days. I spend my time hiding from the truth detest your wicked ways. One of these days I'm gonna draw my pay and head right down the line. I hear your words ringing in my head and I'm so sick of your lying. Chorus Said you'd set me free ( said you set me set me free) just where I wanna be.( Where I wanna wanna be) You got me scratching and itching just like I got an allergy. Bridge Chorus Said you'd set me free ( said you set me set me free) just where I wanna be.( Where I wanna wanna be) You got me scratching and just like I got an allergy. Verse Now don't you tell me that you've changed your mind and just want to stick around. I'll tell you now that I'm ready leave on the first bus out of town. Then you tell me how you've repented of all your evil ways. And that you want to stay with me all my live long days Chorus Said you'd set me free ( said you set me set me free) just where I wanna be.( Where I wanna wanna be) You got me scratching and just like I got an allergy. Said you'd set me free ( said you set me set me free) just where I wanna be.( Where I wanna wanna be) You got me scratching and just like I got an allergy. Said you'd set me free ( said you set me set me free) just where I wanna be.( Where I wanna wanna be) You got me scratching and just like I got an allergy. Said you'd set me free ( said you set me set me free) just where I wanna be.( Where I wanna wanna be) You got me scratching and just like I got an allergy. **** Song Summary ********* Title: Scratching and Itching File:Scratching and Itching.SGU Key=C , Tempo 120, Length (m:s)=3:24 2 bar intro, 97 bar chorus, from bar 3 to bar 99.

The main vocal is almost perfect - but there's some sibilant stuff that you really ought to address. The compressor in S1 has a de esser setting or the reliable but time consuming volume notch works a treat. Loved the song & performance!

The backup vocal parts during the chorus, "said you set me set me free", "Where I wanna wanna be", are the cats meow! Dave Blue Attitude Website Blue Attitude YouTube channel

The harmonica solo is a really nice choice. Consider moving it more toward the center to "show it off" (just a slight panning - 15 maybe?). Excellent vocals. Cool backgrounds. Quite an enjoyable listen. fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

I really appreciate your advice on the de esser. I put one on the vocal but neglected the back up vocals. I have fixed that problem though not in the current soundcloud mix. Can do with all the help I can get with Studio One. Thanks again for your help.

Not to mention that harmonica part was a great addition that I didn't see coming. I really liked the light hearted nature of this tune. It's really easy on the ears, and I like how catchy it is too. Well done and thanks for sharing Cheers, Deryk
