Good sound, Michael. It hooks up well with the classic rock era.

Classic sounding rock tune with decent production.
I like the song but I think you have opportunities in the vocal to increase the range of the melodic arc (especially in the chorus) to take this to the next level. Some backup harmonies would fit in there nicely as well.
Love to hear me some rock on JPF!
Peace, TC

Break It All The Way This sounds good... The chorus could use a bit more contrast to the verses.
How about this arrangement with a higher arc on the shorten chorus
Yeah i shoulda seen it comin' Nothin' good ever last for long You'd whistle and ya had me runnin' Now you're playin' me a different song
Now ya got me where ya want me And i can't break free My po' heart,is so warped Go ahead and break it all the way break it all the way
I thought that i knew better I thought that love was skies of blue I forgot about the stormy weather That brew from the likes of you
[ chorus ] ~B Off and on,touch and go,that aint how love suppose to be I don't know how much i can take,it's gettin' worse every day [ chorus ]

Hi Mike,
A little Tom Petty vibe. I like the classic rock feel and melody. I'd like hearing the organ maybe a little heavier partially R to compliment the guitar's L space. Also a stronger harmony with the chorus, at least 2nd time around.
Cool song!
steady-eddie.

hey Eddie,Petty huh,well thanks.Yeah after i got most of the music done on this,that's who i heard actually.So i thought that an organ would seal the deal.I wanted to use the organ on at least one solo but i didn't then i didn't know how much volume i should use so this is what i came up with.The lyrics just wrote themselves in a few minutes.I like your ideas as well for this one.Mike

Great song Michael! I like it a lot!!! Great playing and singing! If I could add one bit of advice though. My ear wanted to hear the pitch go a little higher on the chorus. But I could be wrong. Take it or leave it, the song still sounds great! Live Bruce Springsteen meets Neil Young Keep up the goo work. Paul
