Hi All, This is a new song called Fight Like A Girl. I’m watching you from the window In this rundown Soho dump Ordering coffee and bagels From the guy in that blue truck He’s trying to make some time with you His jacked-up humor and vices But you're an old street fighter He's bowing out to avoid a crisis They say you fight like a girl They say you fight like a girl I think you fight like a girl C’mon and fight like a girl Driving off to the mountains The Tappan Zee is thick with cars Rolling fifteen miles an hour While you count all the stars Friday night highway honcho Red flying truck and no blinker Let’s bury the hatchet and move on But you give him the third finger They say you fight like a girl They say you fight like a girl I think you fight like a girl C’mon and fight like a girl I’m watching you from the bedroom You fix the heat and shut the light If I ever stumble over us Hit me hard with some of that fight They say you fight like a girl They say you fight like a girl I think you fight like a girl C’mon and fight like a girl All BIAB Tracks: 2474: Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 085 2505: Piano, Electric, HeldChords 085 2914: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Folky16thsBrent Ev16 085 832: Guitar, Electric, Rhythm, AltCountryMoody Ev 075 Chorus Loop: Chillout/Chillout_dimensions_145 RealDrums: PopPromiseEv16 a:Snare on 4, HiHat, b: Snare As always - thanks for listening!

This is really beautiful. The inverted chord you use as your starting point for the hook works so well! It's hard to give a review in words for this song because it's an experience - it has to be heard and not picked apart in words, I feel. But, in short, I loved it. Great lyrics, also.

Fantastic arrangement and mix once again, I would have used lighter drumming in the first verse, but otherwise it is perfect, electric guitar used interestingly and that piano gives exciting mood. Great vocals and very enjoyable chording.

I think the simplicity and cleverness of the chorus lyrics make it one of the best choruses I've seen in a while. It also makes for a catchy title. Nice production!

Extra fine lyric and that chorus is a thing of beauty. Just the kind of thing two intimates can say and hear. Brought a smile to my face. Your voice carries it well and the band plays with subdued power and purpose.

And the hits just keep coming...
Love this lyric, Bob. I can't say why, but for some reason, it made me think of Steve Forbert's debut album "Alive On Arrival" - an all-time favorite of mine... (if you don't know that record, find it and have a listen - I'm pretty sure you would like it)
You are using the BAND to perfection these days to showcase your songs and your sound.

Hello Bob, this is excellent! The different elements really glue well together and a solid key signature choice too. The lyrics are quite smooth. Keep it up!

Excellent write!
my goodness, you're turning out monster songs
the mix and production are so good, it seems like everyone here is getting better and better at mixing
I feel like I need to step up my game
He’s trying to make some time with you
His jacked-up humor and vices
But you're an old street fighter
He's bowing out to avoid a crisis
I love these lines because they tell so much about
strength of character and personalities - great writing
tying in watching you from a window/bedroom is a nice dovetail
the use of the Alt-Country Moody is excellent
enjoyed,
Kenny

You really knocked this one out of the park - the lyrics on this are extremely memorable, and your vocal delivery enunciates them perfectly. The tune has a lot of personality, and is really memorable. As others have mentioned - the chorus on this is superb. It isn't necessarily a very catchy chorus, but it definitely hits hard. You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing
Cheers,
Deryk

"Dump" and "truck" on rhyme lines...way, way cool Release after release this year of consistently great tunes...not just good but great. "He’s trying to make some time with you His jacked-up humor and vices But you're an old street fighter He's bowing out to avoid a crisis" Kenny has already quoted that line but we had to also...it is power packed. There is a "togetherness" of your vocal delivery, choice of lyric, melody and BiaB components that is very special. You've carved out your own unique place on this forum and we feel that the same thing would happen even if you were part of large Americana playlists...as you should be! Wonderful, J&B
