Nice one Guy! Good song, well sung - perfect harmonies. Yep, this is really good - original sounding, but fitting in GOOC style. In the nit department, I'd like to hear some bass, and maybe a little more variation in the drum track (there's a closing hihat that appears all through the verses every 2 bars). A minor nit for sure, but a definite way of making the whole thing sound a little more like a real drummer is in there. "California metaphors" - great phrase. Nice ending too. Excellent post Guy!

This is very, very good Guy Probably the best one so far at the GOO challenge my friend. You voice works so well on this, and you've got some great lyrics to sing too. The back tracks are perfect for it and so is your mix. Outstanding work Guy, I salute you for an absolutely fantastic job. Kudos and Bravo to you Guy. Ed |

be true very nice tune Guy. solid writing and composition. True words, sometimes you have to stop and take a good look at yourself and wonder would I hang out with that person? just one of those things that makes a person wiser as time goes on. |

Excellent song This is a great song. I love the lyrics, and you have some wonderful turns of phrase in there. A great sentiment - thought-provoking and perceptive. Your vocal performance is great. Your voice carries the weight of experience, and you bring great style and a laidback warmth to the song. Very cool. Kudos, my friend. Peace. |

Another viewpoint Musically, I find this to be pleasing to the ear, 'though it sounds very dated ... I realize it was recorded in the late 90's, but it sounds like something from a LOBO album from the ... what? early 70's? My real challenge with this song is in the lyrics. First, IMO, the song comes across as "preachy" - that is, the singer comes off as standing on a soapbox and preaching to the person he is speaking to. It's always a challenge to get a message of morality across in a song without sounder "holier than thou" and I'm not sure this one rises to that challenge. Structurally, I thought the lyrics were a bit off as well. You have first halves of lines that are sometimes very crowded followed by second halves that have tons of space ("now's as good a time as any" ... "to take stock"). Also, I thought the line "colorful metaphors and clever anecdotes" just doesn't work well in a song. Don't get me wrong, I like what's behind it, but it simply doesn't sing all that well or fall on the ear pleasantly. It's not very ... well ... lyrical. The arrangement is very nice, the vocals are quite good, and the message itself is both interesting and heartfelt, I believe. In my opinion, it doesn't quite work within the context of a song that one would care to listen to more than once, for the reasons I've offered above. One man's opinion ... please feel free to disregard! |

Great song I'm always happy to come across country music on this site. There's not enough of it, and what I've heard from you always sounds professional. Good song writing, and technically sound. Nothing flashy about the guitar parts, but solid support for your (excellent) vocal delivery. If I had to find one fault with this song, I'd say that your rhythm guitar sounds a bit too full, not leaving much space for the bass or the drums. Most of the time I only hear the kick drum and the tambourine. |

This has a great retro Country recording production. A real cool Nashville sheen to it. |

OK..So... here's my take. This is well made and better produced than anything I could do, so take it as you will. This song screams collaborations, because no-one is good at everything. If you could talk some-one to plug-in some country bends and pedal-steel licks into this song over the lead guitar, it would be a totally different song, it would switch it from eagles rock to dwight yokam. Also, I think the tempo of the song is too fast for the song. the lyrics ask for a slower tempo, like neil young slower if you know what I mean. Thats all meant to be constructive criticism. It's a new thing I'm trying out. Thanks for posting. |

Great song Guy Superb vocals and lyrics. Read that you cheated with the harmonies, why not, technology is there, use it. Very impressive. (where can I get one)? Reminded me of mixture of Kenny Rogers and Glenn Campbell. Loved it |
