I was listening to the latest Brooks and Dunn record when this hook popped in my head.
So I figured I might as well return to that sound for the song.
It is a sound that BIAB really excels at.
And the solo guitar efforts always seem so effortless. Just right.



WAIT YOUR TURN

i know that look
i've seen it too many times before
you'll make me fall in love
then walk out that door
you hit your mark
just one more notch
then load another round
you line 'em up
just for the fun of knockin' 'em down
   
   if you want to break my heart
   get in line
   it still ain't over
   the last couple of times
   playing for keeps
   it falls too deep
   it's a lesson never learned
   if you want to break my heart
   you'll have to wait your turn

darlene did it with
those deep blues eyes
lori had a laugh
that took me by surprise
heather hit me hard
dancing in the rain
margaret had a magic
i still can't explain

   if you want to break my heart...

Floyd,

You make this songwriting thing seem so easy! Another terrific write and production. Really like the harmonies on this one-well done. Sweet, toe-tapping tune!

Floyd, you are one of the best lyricists and musicians we have in these forums. Everything you post is radio ready and in fact better than most of what is being played on the radio today.

I wish I had your talent!

The day after Valentine's day; I hop on the forums and this is waiting? The stars aligned when the meteor missed us! It's a great day!

What a cool song. Definitely hear B and D! Seems easy enough to do, until you try it. Because they and you make it look effortless.

RD is one of my fav singers, and you are right up there. There was a point a point I thought I heard a little Roy Orbinson sound going on. And as I type this, I am remembering RD himself does that on occasion. Impressive!

Your lyrics are never missing. Great use of the names. VERY fun to hear.

The song just sounds like it sound. It's clever, well delivered, and I feel is a great mix of the 90's and 20's country. I know younger kids would think this song is pretty cool! I think it's a really well delivered universal theme.

Well placed breaks too! That really ads to the lyric, doesn't it? I loves me a good break.

So, you did it again Ronnie. Another great song.

fj,
This one kicks on from the 1st beat.
An assured vocal performance with just the right twang to match the instrumentation.
As usual there's a story worth following and a melody that has hooks galore.
Your mix is terrific.

Good driving beat, those rhythm guitars really rock. Catchy chorus. The difference between the word rhythm in verses distracts a bit, because only the first verse melody sounds somehow familiar, interesting effect.

Very powerful with fun lyrics.
I only miss the names of the Dutch girls you met. They also had to wait their turn I suppose...

Catchy hook, tasty rocking guitar licks, alliterative list in the verse, clever payoff for the chorus, and fj goodness throughout.

Of course, impeccable production and subtle harmonies as well.

Best of all, a super-fun listen that leaves the chorus going round my head when it's done. laugh

Thanks, Deej. I've written this style of song for a lone time (a bunch of 'em), so I do find these pretty easy to do. Generally they take about 30 minutes... And then BIAB makes it easy to produce this style (and I've done that a bunch, too)...

Should be a hit by my reckoning, gotta get you more exposure somehow. You did this in 30 minutes? It takes me hours/days to write my lyrics, then I got the whole rest of the song to do as well. Pretty amazing, dude.

Strong song. Sounds very good on my phones at a bit over mid-volume. The kick is very powerful. Nice production. I liked the way the lead tucks back into the mix after it's turn and just pokes the coals till the end.

Floyd.... IMHO.... One of the best things you've done in a while.

It's got Brooks and Dunn imbedded in it's soul.

Solid job all the way around. It checks all the boxes. Into the chorus in under a minute, close to 3 minute run time, lyrics are fun, nice uptempo groove, and a fat mix. What's not to like about it?

I could hear this ON a B&D stage.

"She makes it look easy"; "She's tried everything" and in the end, you still tell her to "Wait Her Turn". Is she steadily working her way to "You Really Did It This Time"? wink

Great song, strong write, arrangement and production. Fun to listen to -- over and over

Enjoyed my listen.

Hi Floyd ...

My time is very limited for a while but when I saw you had a new one up ... I carved out some space in my daily schedule for a few listens ... didn't want to miss anything you you post. I listened to one of my favorite B & D songs last night as I was cleaning up the kitchen after dinner ... Neon Moon. You sure did capture their sound quite nicely. Thanks for the smile on my face ... my ears are smiling, too! Best to you & yours ...

Alan

30 minutes, three hours or three days...it's a heckuva song and
certainly lets one envision long necks and line dancing. And there
ain't nuthin' wrong with that.

We hate to use the word "pro" because, well, you are a pro...but, man,
the production value of this is just sky high.

A showcase for the use of RT's/RD's on the showcase forum smile

Take the above, throw in the always excellent mr jane vocals and lyrics
and you've absolutely nailed that B&D thang!

Superbly well done,

Floyd,
I think you saved the best lyrics for the last verse with that list!
There`s so much in the details I enjoy on songs like this you make with such ease - the sweetly placed doubled vocal, that little twang in your phrasing, the amazing punch of the drums...its all top shelf, sir!

Classic man! Sounds like a hit to me. You are killer with those catchy hooks dude!


cool

Note: I am taking a different approach to getting re-involved and stay involved with the forum after a business-related absence. I listen to the forum in the background while I am writing and working, just to enjoy all the songs. Then, I will go to each one on a separate occasion and post the equivalent of a “Love It”—my version of a like. That is why all my comments might come at the same time, though I could have listened days ago.
This is the best way I know to stay caught up. If I feel I have to listen one song at a time and then offer a critique it makes my brain shut down. I just want to enjoy them—like I am listening to the radio.
If I post any new songs in the future, it will just be as a “radio” post—hope you enjoy it. If you do, that is cool. There is no need to post a lengthy comment.
I have been listening in my absence and all the new stuff sounds great. This will be attached to all my messages for a few weeks or a month until my new method is understood. Thanks!!

Hi Floyd,

Well I just blasted the whole street out with this fantastic track. Damn this is good country. smile

And I so envy your mixing and mastering skills. As someone said previously, it's a broadcast quality mix.

You gotta get this to someone, this is a hit.

So I've listened to this a number of times since you suggested and it's pretty amazing. Even some of the songs I would think "yeah...you really shouldn't touch that one" he knocked out of the park. Just crazy good!

Thanks for the heads up on that one. I'm sure I would have eventually found out about it down the road a bit. And...more than likely from you then as well. wink

Great lyrics as always Floyd. I wish I could be as prolific smile. Another excellent song with that great country rock sound that you capture so well. Always enjoy those guitar solos.

Things like that are always nice to hear, TM...thanks!!

Strong song. Sounds very good on my phones at a bit over mid-volume. The kick is very powerful. Nice production. I liked the way the lead tucks back into the mix after it's turn and just pokes the coals till the end.


Thanks, Tangmo. "pokes the coals"... a typical tactic that I use often...glad you like it...

It's got Brooks and Dunn imbedded in it's soul.

Solid job all the way around. It checks all the boxes. Into the chorus in under a minute, close to 3 minute run time, lyrics are fun, nice uptempo groove, and a fat mix. What's not to like about it?

I could hear this ON a B&D stage.


Thanks, Herb. Figured this would be more up your alley...

Great song, strong write, arrangement and production. Fun to listen to -- over and over

Enjoyed my listen.



Charlie - it's nice to know that SOMEONE might know a few of my older tunes. smile That is certainly appreciated....

I listened to one of my favorite B & D songs last night as I was cleaning up the kitchen after dinner ... Neon Moon. You sure did capture their sound quite nicely. Thanks for the smile on my face ... my ears are smiling, too! Best to you & yours ...

the production value of this is just sky high.

A showcase for the use of RT's/RD's on the showcase forum smile

Take the above, throw in the always excellent mr jane vocals and lyrics
and you've absolutely nailed that B&D thang!

Superbly well done,

J&B

There`s so much in the details I enjoy on songs like this you make with such ease - the sweetly placed doubled vocal, that little twang in your phrasing, the amazing punch of the drums...its all top shelf, sir!

Robert


Thanks, Robert. I've always believed that it is the 2nd verse (of a 2 verse song) that shows whether the writer is really "making the effort" and paying attention to the craft and the details required...so thanks for that!!!

Wow - what a tune! You outdid yourself here. A strong display of songwriting, with fantastic vocals and a concise professional mix. I wouldn't bat an eyelash if I heard this on the radio. Love the groove on this - got my foot tapping right away.

Nothing I'd change at all here - great work and thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,

And I so envy your mixing and mastering skills. As someone said previously, it's a broadcast quality mix.

You gotta get this to someone, this is a hit.

Martin. smile smile



Thanks, Martin... always like hearing things like that! smile

So I've listened to this a number of times since you suggested and it's pretty amazing. Even some of the songs I would think "yeah...you really shouldn't touch that one" he knocked out of the park. Just crazy good!

Thanks for the heads up on that one. I'm sure I would have eventually found out about it down the road a bit. And...more than likely from you then as well. wink



I figured you would dig that...

And the last verse is a clinic on alliteration!!

Another home run by a heavy hitter!!! Take care. Greg


Greg - I always enjoy your reviews! (AND your music!!!)

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."

Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
