Hey Dewey, I found this to be a nice country "she left him song".
At first I thought the vibe was too happy and upbeat for a breakup song, but once the lyrics kicked in it all came together and made sense.
Great vocal work too, I especially liked the harmonies.

Dewey,
your voice sells this - a road worn, slightly cracked, character filled sound.
mind you there's not much selling required in a sad joyful tune like this.
Excellent.
Cheers

Love this, Dewey. Right from the catchy title. The happy melody somehow fits a breakup song. Those harmonies are perfect. Who wouldn't love a gal who breaks up and makes you feel good? I like the response vocals at the end. Well done with contagious chorus.

Dewey,
A solid write, a solid production.
There is a "sameness" to the production throughout. Something to break that up? A drop of some kind, somewhere? Just a "little thing".
Good mix.

fj Floyd, thank you for your input! I apologize, but I do not know what 'a drop' is. Could you please elaborate? Dewey

fj Floyd, thank you for your input! I apologize, but I do not know what 'a drop' is. Could you please elaborate? Dewey A "drop" - most of the instrument "drop" out to leave a very sparse (production) section. Often only one instrument (plus vocal) plays during the drop - an acoustic guitar, a bass, a synth, a beat, etc. It's prevalent in Pop music - to the poain of being rather cliche. Country music has used it heavily, as well, over the last few years... For your production it needn't be that dramatic... maybe pull down to an acoustic guitar, a very simple bass and just a kick (just an idea). Basically a "production breather" that will help to "refresh" your listener's ears...

I'll drop the first two lines and build it back to full for the last chorus. Na zdrowie! Dewey

I LOVE the combination of upbeat/cheerful chords with sad lyrics, it works really well for me.

Nice production for sure.
Your vocal is perfect for the delivery.
We have always thought that juxtaposing a happy vibe with a sad lyric can be an effective way to bring it all home.
Good RT selection and mix.
Well done!

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."
