Hi JPFers.
This is a finished demo, written by myself, Mitch Collins and Brenda Kornblum.

We hope to pitch it to artists like Jason Aldean type, Blake Shelton, etc.

Hope you enjoy it.


48 Hour Fix
Verse 1
Blue collar rat race, hitting walls, running this maze
working on a 5 day headache
Need a coffee, strong and black, morning jolt to get me jacked
been jonsin' bad, so glad it's Friday

Pre-chorus
I'll bust my butt all day long, 'til the last tock on that time clock, then I'm gone

Chorus
Gettin' amped for a weekend rush, from a drug I love called living it up
˜Round here most anything goes, til the workday rooster crows
I'll find my feel good and put it on, a binge on a buzz marathon
That two day trip, always does the trick, its my 48 hour fix.... 48 hour fix

Verse 2
Cold cans in koozies, Netflix and chill, a hot Jacuzzi
Me and my babe reconnecting
Midnight brings a few old friends, with PBR so we let 'em in
then get that outlaw country cranking

Pre-Chorus
I can't help this high I'm cravin, I admit I'm addicted to a little hell raising

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
There ain't nothing wrong with taking a nice long hit off life's good stuff

Repeat Chorus

(Tag) 48 hour fix
© Kime/Collins/Kornblum

This info is for the person who made this demo, not my song. My song is 48 Hour Fix below this.

Hello Kimberly,

You have lots of words and images bouncing around that qualify this as a modern-day country song. I can hear Jason Aldean doing it and if you had told me this was Aldean himself, I would have had no reason to doubt you. The production is professional, and the vocal is strong. I would call this more than a "demo." Good luck with it.

Jim

Great job Kim! I like it a lot.

I like the chorus especially. Seems like it's ending after that 2nd line coz of the pause... 3rd line comes in... ok, that's it... nope... 4th line and it's done. Really clever.

Great sound! I got no suggestions.

Hi Kim!

Sounds great, like everything about it, no nits. It sounds current, but I hear influences of Alabama and Mary Chapin Carpenter believe it or not. Good luck with it!

Excellent country rock tune that kicks some ass! I like it.

The only thing that struck me funny was the cadence and slight pause between the third and fourth line of the chorus since you already have that pause halfway through the chorus. It's not a big deal and will probably grow on me with more listens.

Tell trackgurl I love her drum sound! The vocals sound nice and big but I thought they could have tucked into the music a wee bit better. It's a really good sounding production overall.

This song really needs a guitar solo to add to that true outlaw country flavor.

Excellent!

Peace,
TC



If it has strings I will find a way to play it!

Sounds good and very polished. I agree with TC about the pauses in the chorus. I was not sure why those were needed, seems like it could flow better. But it might be one of those things on repeat listens that make it stand-out.

The vocal does seem to be out in front a hare but not jarring.

Good luck with it.

Professional sounding demo. Vocalist sounds a bit like Jake Owens to me in the verse. Guitar sounds a little Hank Jr with the pull offs.

Very well done however the lyrical theme puts you in a crowded lane. I hope that you land it somewhere. smile

Congratulations on getting rolling again. Seems like you were quiet for a while.

Pop country is not my thing so I don't really know how this stacks up but I'm guessing it fits the genre well. Wish you success with it!!!!

Kim, I liked 48 Hour Fix. Could defiantly hear this on any alt country station today. I also share the same concern about the pauses in the chorus. The song feels like its racing toward the weekend end then it hits those pauses. I'm surprised you never used "kicks" as part of the lyric. Maybe because it is overused. Otherwise really liked everything else! Nice work!

Thanks very much Jim. We did ask Kris if she had any friends that reminded her of Jason Aldean and this is the guy she recommended. smile I am glad you like it

Hi Calvin
Thanks for taking time to listen. It is not my musical style as a favorite either, but trying to write commercial as best as I can.
Thanks!

Hi John
Thanks for listening, and I understand what you mean about the pause. It was even more pronounced and we changed it. It is just the way with that may words, it comes out, but hopefully it will still be something someone likes.

Hi-
We didn't add a guitar solo because where we pitch songs, they suggest to not have them because if the artist wants one, they throw one in....seems odd to me, but this is what we have been told
I understand about the pause. It was even more pronounced and we changed it. It is just the way with that may words, it comes out, but we hope it will still be something someone likes.

Thanks for listening Wendy.
The pauses, even when my co-writer Mitch sang it, they seemed to be almost needed to catch your breath, they were longer but have been shortened and hopefully will be liked. I have heard some country songs today that have very unique pauses and rhythms, so maybe it will fly...
The vocals at first were a bit low in the mix and we asked her to bring them up some. I am not hearing them as too loud but it may be my speakers.

Thanks
Kim

Hi Martin
Yes the topic is used often, we are hoping the use of the idea of needing the FIX like a drug, will make it different enough.
Thanks for listening

Thanks Colin
Yes, I have missed writing, between illness and co-writers not being able to finish some songs, I have been cut off from writing for a while, and missed it
I know its not your genre, but hopefully someone like I mentioned or in that style will pick it up...thanks for listening!

Hi- I think you must have listened to Good Bad Girl by Kris Bradley, who did the demo work, that is not my song. I moved that info to the bottom of the page. I was only showing the info for who did the demo work in case anyone needs someone to demo their songs.

My song is 48 hour Fix, as you can see from the lyric. If you wanna listen again to our song, it would be cool
Thanks and sorry for the confusion
Kim

Great sounding demo, Kim. Fits right in with today's country but don't know that it will get much attention, seeing as how there's no mention of a pick up truck... grin Well done!

I thought you had lots of clever lines - I especially liked "till that workday rooster crows" - best of luck - hope it gets picked up.
