I am curious, how many versions of your songs do you make before you find the one you keep? I usually go through 30-50 versions to get as close to what I want as I can. Now and then it still falls short, but for me, I find A.I. eventually locks into amazingly close to what I heard in my head when I start working on a song. I have the largest membership, but still ran out of tracks last month. I missed 2 weeks of this month (my month starts on the 26th) so I likely won't run out this month.
I rarely get a keeper in the first 10 tries. Brian, I am the same way. I used up all of my monthly credits in Pro writing 15 songs. I have a sound in my head for each song and I tinker with it until I get one I like. I change the key, tempo, time signature, vibe/feel, and instrumentation. I also tinker with the lyrics adding or reducing vocalizations or rewriting because I don't like the way it plays out in recordings. I have spent hours working on just one song. And that is after I've spent a considerable amount of time writing it. I find myself getting up and walking away from one multiple times before I settle on something. I don't know how that parlays in other people's perceptions of what I'm putting out. But I'm making the music I always envisioned. That makes it all worthwhile for me personally.

Thank you, Wes!!
I certainly appreciate your listen, kind words and suggs! I wish my brain worked like this with every song, but I lucked out on this one. I will keep trying though. You're only a failure when you quit, right?
Peace,
Dave

Your songs are always thoughtful and nicely written. This one is also.
Old school country.
