Well this is my very first song post on here. I wrote this a couple of years ago. The singer's name is Rusty Van sickle.
Germain

Crazy beautiful

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE MAJESTIC BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS
THE COLORS IN THE FALL, THE BEAUTY OF IT ALL
OR THE INCREDIBLE GRAND CANYON IN ARIZONA
SUCH A MASTERPIECE, LEAVE YOU BREATHLESS INDEED
OR NIAGARA FALLS UNDER A CRIMSON SUNSET
WELL I’VE SEEN BETTER YET

CHORUS
YOU, YOU’RE SO CRAZY BEAUTIFUL
WITH THE KINDEST EMERALD EYES AND SUCH JOY OF LIFE, YOU AMAZE ME
AND YOUR SMILE, IS THE SUNSHINE THAT LIGHTS UP MY SOUL
YOU’RE THAT ONE-OF-A-KIND, BLOW MY MIND
CRAZY BEAUTIFUL

JUST A SIMPLE TOUCH OF YOUR HAND ON MY SKIN
MAKES ME COME ALIVE, YOU’RE MY NATURAL HIGH
JUST A SINGLE TASTE OF YOUR SWEET LIPS ON MINE
TANGLES UP MY THOUGHTS AND MAKES MY HEART BEAT AT MACH SPEED
AND THE BEST OF YOU IS WHAT’S INSIDE
NO ONE CAN DENY

DOWN
YOU, YOU’RE SO CRAZY BEAUTIFUL
WITH THE KINDEST EMERALD EYES AND SUCH JOY OF LIFE, YOU AMAZE ME
AND YOUR SMILE IS THE SUNSHINE THAT LIGHTS UP MY SOUL
YOU’RE THAT ONE-OF-A-KIND, BLOW MY MIND
CRAZY BEAUTIFUL

That's a terrific song. Some lovely chord progressions in there, and the lyric is really well put together. Like those internal rhymes like HEART BEAT AT MACH SPEED.
And of course the production quality is tip tip. Very enjoyable all round.

Hi Germain:

Rusty did a really nice job of vocalizing this for you. I enjoyed the song and it certainly has all the elements for commercial success. Glad you're here, sharing your music and thoughts with us.
Good luck with this one. ----Dave

Germain,

A really nice song. Good write - all the elements that make a song "listenable" and memorable. Excellent hook. Well done. (Obviously, this ain't your first rodeo...)

Nice production. Killer vocal.

Your set up (with your web site) is something that I haven't seen before. What a great idea! Hope that is being really successful for you...

Looking forward to hearing more!!!

Sweetly romantic, Germain. Sounds like a pro job.
As Floyd says, "excellent hook".

Well done.

It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

Hey Floyd,

No it ain't my first rodeo lol. By the way, thanks for your comments on my website. Ya, since I'm not an artist myself, I thought I'd make a website to showcase my songs for singers/artists who may need songs to record. So far, I've been lucky enough to have had over 30 country artists from around the globe record my songs.

Very well done Germain.
I have seen the Blue Ridge mountains, skyline drive, Shenandoah Valley.
I have seen the Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls as well.
The hook is excellent.
Good song and really good production.
Thanks for sharing and good luck!

Shiny modern country song with an excellent arrangement.

The instrumentation is stellar, bro. The vocals are nice as well. The mix is very solid, and the harmonized guitars in the solo were a nice touch. The synth lick was unexpected but worked well.

Excellent!

Peace,
TC

"Crazy beautiful" a title like this I had to click on it and I am glad I did because I like what I heard, I like what the lyric said, I like the way the music sound, I like the the vocal, I like everything about this song.

Your song stands out, for these are the kind of songs makes me feel like I am listening to music.

I am so...so glad I had the chance to hear your song.

Hey Joro, well you've seen a lot of beautiful places. I lied in my lyric as I have never seen the places I talk about except for Niagara Falls lol. Thanks for your kind words.

TC, Thank you, I'm glad you liked most everything about it because it's kinda too late to change anything (cause it's a finished demo), should you have had something negative to say lol. I'm sure any song can be improved upon but you have to sort of finish it somewhere.

Irwin, I'm glad to hear you say that just the title alone made you want to hear the song...I'm always conscious about the title...as we all know how important a good title is in order to captivate your audience. Glad you liked the song and thank you for listening.

Germain, you gotta post it before you master it so you can get feedback before it's a done deal!

It doesn't matter on this tune cuz you hit it out of the park. I didn't "like most everything", I liked it ALL from start to finish.

Good song, superb performance, and excellent mix. So, put that in your pipe and smoke it! tongue

Hey Nelson, thanks for the listen. Glad you liked it.

Hey TC, ya I hear what you're saying. My songs that are already recorded usually have had some sort of critique, either by a co-writer (if I co-wrote it), or sometimes I actually paid for critiques or simply by myself (by putting the song away for a while, then coming back to it with the purpose of finding weak spots and trying to make the song stronger. Ok, I will put it in my pipe and smoke it lol. Thanks.

Germain,

This is so well done. Beautifully produced and your singer nails the vocals. Really inviting melody, with a killer hook on the “one of a kind, blow my mind.” This is as good if not better than anything I’ve heard on county stations today—not that I listen much to them recently, but when I did . . .well, this is just very, very fresh. Wish you the best of luck with it; it’s worthy of success. Awesome listen!

Kindest regards,

Deej

Wow! You have a modern country sound that seems to also harken back to George Strait or Brooks and Dunn w/o sounding dated. A sweet spot indeed.

Nary a nit here. And regarding mixing/mastering - it’s never finished just abandoned!

Nice write, vocal performance and arrangement. Kudos!

And, you have a very interesting and inventive business model. Best to you.
