#529633 - 03/21/19 07:15 AM [User Showcase] You Don't Know What You're Missing (Co-Write Tom & Bud)
Registered: 05/22/11 Posts: 3495 Loc: Florida tommyad Veteran Registered: 05/22/11 Posts: 3495 Loc: Florida	My Dad was a real character and he had a bunch of great sayings. I was thinking of some of his well worn lines and realized this was a treasure trove of song ideas. I bounced this one off Bud Merritt and he was able to point me in the right direction for the 2nd verse and the ending chorus. Against his objections he gets a writing credit because without his contribution the song would not have gone where it went. Thanks Bud, and a big thanks to Janice for her impeccable harmony. Recorded in Logic Pro X Plug Ins : Nectar 2, Neutron 2, Ozone 8, Tonal Balance, Waves LinMB, Waves, L3-LL Multi Limiter, CLA Acoustic, Waves Vocal Rider, Lead Vocal, Acoustic Guitar, Tom Adams Harmony Vocal, Janice Merritt RealTracks in song: ~2474:Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 2718:Guitar, Nylon, Fingerpicking CountryBrent Ev 085 Royalty Free Loops https://soundcloud.com/tommyad/tom-adams-you-dont-know-what-youre-missing https://tommyadamsmusic.com/music You Don’t Know What You’re Missing through teary eyes he tried not to show he said Dad can we please go home I don’t fit in with the other kids so maybe I’d be better off alone I tried to give it my best swing and then I went and struck out again I think that baseballs not my thing so what’s the sense in practicing Son I only hope you’re listening You’ve got to stand up every day It never will be easy when you’re trying to find your way Don’t be sad don’t be bitter I think that you should reconsider I can only hope you’re listening Cause you don’t know what you’re missing Years later he said you won’t like this but I think I’ve had enough of it i feel like it’s all just a waste of time and i think that I’m going to quit I said I remember I felt that way back when I was in college But it’s something they can’t take away that’s the most important piece of knowledge Son I only hope you’re listening You’ve got to stand up every day It never will be easy when you’re trying to find your way Don’t be sad don’t be bitter I think that you should reconsider I can only hope you’re listening Cause you don’t know what you’re missing And when you find the right girl Don’t mess it up and let her get away If it had happened with your mother We wouldn’t be standing here today Don’t be sad don’t be bitter ff I think that you should reconsider I can only hope you’re listening Cause you don’t know what you’re missing ©2019 Thomas Adams/Bud Merritt

A beautiful and heartfelt song, love it when the mandolin comes in a super write, so good you have the best harmony singer that maybe I've ever heard Tom, it's top notch, makes me want to write about youth going by so fast and a loving guiding hand.

Clear vocals, well balanced choice of instruments (not over populated ) and pro mix. Not a bit that I would change. I enjoyed it. Thank you for posting! Misha.

They had a way of summing it up in a line or two. Nice production and contribution from Bud & Janice. Good write.
