Good song, excellent lyric, and arrangement.
Might be my headphones but the vocal was a bit far back (or maybe a bit too much reverb?) especially on the chorus.
The chorus has a really good melody.
Good one.

David,
Nice and catchy song!
I think it has a strong country touch as you intended.
Your vocal persuasiveness is wonderful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Thanks B.D.
Not quite sure what to say about that vocal volume.
I have listened to the sound on numerous devices and it is where I want it to be.
I played the next to last version for my wife and we both thought the vocals were a tad too high. I did not like it.
I used Vocal Rider by Waves on the vocal bus and it also thought the vocals were too high again the mix by about 1.5 dB. So, I let it do its thing and I am pleased with it.
My wife has a very high end stereo system in her car, and it sounds great there. It also sounds great on my phone, and my laptop, so I think I am business.
I appreciate the feedback though.

Excellent write, man, I wish I had a fraction of your skills in that department!
I always love hearing the passion in your vocal, you sing like your life depends on it.
Great song, David, enjoyed very much.

The rumors are true - another great write sung with passion.  A nit - the mix feels off, but it's not a balance thing. The guitars and cello sound like they're close miked, but the vocal sounds distant. So hearing all the detail from the guitars but not from the vocal seems wrong. Maybe adding some midrange boost to the vocal would help give it more presence? Anyway, minor nit. Love the song!

David,
This is such a good song!! Your trademark passion in the write and performance ( your vocal level sounds right to me)- and the personal touch of your guitar is a reminder you are a musician too.
I hear some of the mixcrits, but this affirms so much that`s good about songwriting, it left me feeling fine.

David,
One of your top writes, in my humble opinion. Some sweet things going on in the arrangement—that cello in particular is wonderful. As far as the arrangement, the overall production is fine, but I would love to hear a bit more layered approach on the mix, more of a build. You have everything going on at once from start to finish—or so it seems to me. And things get a little lost, the vocal in particular. Of course just my opinion—see what others think. But this is such a great tune—I think a little nuance in the arrangement would take it to another level. Very impressive write!
All my best to you,
Deej

As so many have mentioned the lyric is excellent. This will be a standout on your album.
“just anything that could make me feel like me”
The above line was Janice’s favorite of many as she said it was a powerful statement.
Your vocal is very soulful and we thought it sat well in the mix.
Kudo’s!

Hi David ...
What a terrific write and your presntation is wonderful. I my opinion, this is your very best vocal in quite some time. Youre vocals have a signature quality that defines you in an excellent way. And I think you put a little more spit and polish on this one.
Great lyric and choice of backing tracks. Good srtuff, my friend! Really good!

I really liked the previous song you posted. This one is right up there with that one. Very catchy and some very fine poignant lyrics.

Great song writing David. Melody fits really nice with the lyrics. Cool sounding track! Well done.

ps: Last trip to Ocracoke for me was over an Easter weekend and it never got over 45F. I'll never forget that. Have fun - it's one of the east coast's great get away spots!

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."
