A unique song here, good job. Just one small nit. I think the vocals may flow a little better with "cause God, you know I needed it" Like I say, it's a nit.

This is pretty good David! It grabbed me for sure. That acoustic guitar you are playing sounds great as well, nice high frequencies, crystal clear sound.
Yeah, definitely one of your best songs so far I think.

That is one of the better songs you've written. Personally, I'd remove the PC because it doesn't add and, it's only used once proving it's not needed.
Good song.

David, An excellent confessional write with appropriately raw sounding vocal. I really like the live unplugged feel your guitar gives the song. Alt. country at its best!

David, very nice song. It has a lot of feeling coming through, and though I know it could have been done in a variety of ways, I think you chose just the right one. Loved how the guitar went from picking to strumming and how the bass and the cello came in. A very good write, IMO, a lot of folks have felt this way in their life at one point or another and this song gives a voice to those feelings. Great job.

Sorry, dude...I think I need to blame you for everything. Really. Everything.
Nice production and a really nice vocal. Nice write. The Sensitive David Snyder.
An excellent listen.

It's a good song, I think it resonates with a lot of people because almost everyone who's a bit older (ahem) has been at that point asking those questions. During my first listen I thought the verses were a bit too long, but with the second listen with the knowledge where the song goes it's obvious that they are just the right length. And the chorus with the cello...goosebumps "Cause you made a heart that breaks too many ways" is brilliant. I think I have to blatantly steal that

A nice sensitive tune David. Quite a strong write with an excellent arrangement, production and performance. The vocals were really nice.

The message is really easy to relate to, well not just few things and not just bit absurd... I really like how most of your songs have this "bigger than life" feeling. Funny and touching in a Monty Python way, definitely instant hit material with an excellent title and a catchy chorus. The arrangement, the mix and the vocals are all top quality.

This is an exceptional piece on songwriting. Your poignant lyrics pierce the heart. The production/arrangement is perfect.
Fantastic work!

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."
