It's up to your high standards, as usual. Well sung, good arrangement, excellent mix.

The bridge was especially cool - I saw from the lyrics that it was coming, and it didn't disappoint!

But... I didn't buy the premise, probably because I think too much.

I mean, it's set up properly, and the narrator makes a argument that he's always crashing and burning, and expecting to be forgiven. So everything fits nicely until the end of the chorus:

      and desperately hoping to stop the slide

It's a bit like having someone who's never stopped drinking say their worried about falling off the wagon. Since the narrator has always been willing to jump into bed with someone, there's nothing to "slide" away from.

Unless there's a level of irony in the song I've missed. wink

Of course, that didn't stop be from playing the song a couple more times, just to enjoy it again.

Especially with the lovely harmonies. They're a wider and more staggered than usual.

That makes them pop, but when the consonants don't line up, there's as ch on the left speaker, and a millisecond later, one of the right speaker, or the other way around.

It got me thinking how much I expect everything I hear to be immaculately edited and corrected. Which, of course, is the opposite of what you're doing here. laugh

It also seemed a bit more warm than your usual mix, which I liked.

Excellent work, as always!


David - thanks for all the nice comments.

re: the slide - I could just blame Bud, since the bones of the song are all his doing - he created the "story". But I joined in, so "bought in" and have to own it as well... I see it less of a CONSTANT slide and more of a series of slides. Each new slide is...a new slide, different from the previous slide (regardless of how recent that one was)...and therefore something that he (the singer) must deal with each time anew.

re: the mis-aligned "ch" - sometimes trying to line up everything perfectly gets tedious and at some point, I go with the classic saying... "Close enough for Country"
