Registered: 08/09/10 Posts: 4440 Loc: New York rsdean Veteran Registered: 08/09/10 Posts: 4440 Loc: New York	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!

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. _________________________ My website

Great vocals and very enjoyable chording. Janne _________________________ Hear My Music: Soundcloud YouTube

Brought a smile to my face. Your voice carries it well and the band plays with subdued power and purpose. _________________________ BIAB 2020 Audiophile. Windows 10 64bit.

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. fj _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

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

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

"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 _________________________ Featured Song J&B Soundcloud J&B YouTube J&B Website
