I think that the 'hey love' phrasing is too long.
I think it would be better if sang more crisply. That, I feel, would make it more catchy.

This seems kind of like a Buddy Holly rockabilly type of song. Some very good writing. I'm not sure about those "baby's" before the bridge and at the end. Like everything else though. Good job.

Enjoyed my listen Shirley but I agree about the "Baby" parts. Seemed contrived and a little corny in the performance of it. Other than that I liked it.

Pretty good tune. It does sound Buddy Hollyish Rockabilly. I'd say that's a good thing but it probably wouldn't be commercial in today's Market. I liked the way Hey Love was used in this context but I agree on the Baby Baby part. It came as a surprise and didn't seem to fit. Almost comical. I'd say still use it but differently.
Fun tune.

Shirley E Matthews, Hello it is nice to meet you. Looks like you have been around with 300+ posts, I'm surprised I have not commented on your work before. Anyway this has a great sound, very professional. Obviously a pro demo. I like the arc of the melody and the arrangement. But . . . I am not crazy about the message. Might just be me but I am always looking for something to connect to and this seems a little predictable. I am just being honest. I think you have to find a way to surprise the listener with something unexpected or unique.
Just my two cents, great sound though. Tom

Hell;o Bill thanx for stopping by:) ..Hmmmmmm ...LOl...you know A lot of people said;; that baby baby part was comical..and I think That's what Art wanted to do..was to have that element of surprise..he knew it wasn't a mainstream''Way to do A song..he really wanted to get the audience engaged into ''the lyric..and Yes if it jumped off a lil corny or funny that's alright... hmmmmm' I agree with you Bill..I strongly feel that''with another production ..and a lil tweaking of the Lyric some tight vocals ..this Piece could be solvent.. hmmmmmm.... ***** That's Why WE Are looking For someone who has a vision for this Piece..to.. Cover This song...hmmmmmm.:)... . I;m glad it was a fun Piece.. See you in a few;o Shirl;o

They need a punchier delivery, in my opinion.

I realize that this is just a "scratch" vocal, so I won't talk about that (except those "Baby"s were pretty funny). The music is fun, the lyrics are fun -- but it has a very dated feel. If you want to tighten this up for today's market (I am talking country), then you gotta look at the lyrics.
Hey love…...... see How The sun has quiet the rain Through the Storms of life ... Our love Still Feels the Same
I know what you are saying here -- love conquers all, but you gotta say it more powerfully.
"The sun has quiet the rain" -- this sentence makes no sense, grammatically speaking.
"Through the Storms of life" -- this seems to be a variation of "quiet the rain", which means wasted territory.
"Our love Still Feels the Same" -- well, how does it feel? They might hate each other on rainy days and hate each other when the sun is shining.
Got some promise,
Kevin

Shirley,
A fun song. You have already received some good advice above.
By the way, Buddy Holly's music was pretty simple - he would just have played his guitar and had another guitar, bass and drums backing him up. Some of his recordings had some organ sounds on them.
Just because a song does not fit the profile of a hit record does not mean it is not worthy. There will still be people who like it!

' Hell;o.. Kevin You know it;s always a joy to hear from you..;o so,,hmmmmmm.... Kevin is it safe to say that.. Metaphors''Are not a good way to express''Country lyrics..that's basically what that line is: The sun quiet the rain..My Knowledge base''about writing country is very limted ..lol...of course Kevin you already know that Hmmmmmm.Art is a Musician/ country Writer,,so he was ''the Co writer for this Piece.. He came to me..[he knew This song Was An R@b song] ..Ah----- :):)and He Said Shirl. .I wanna tweaked this baby..into A country lyric.. So I said okay Art ''I'm down for the Challenge.. [experimental purposes].... I will plug the R @ B version for ''Hey Love'' my version .. At A later time,,;o **** Thanx Kevin For your input it is soooooo very helpful to me..it;s a challenge for me as A Lyricist..to write Country Songs ..I thrive on challenges...~~~~;o **** So with country you gotta get to the heart of the matter''break it down.. As it relates to ''the message youre trying to convey..hmmmmmmmmm..:) This is very interesting indeed..Kevin.. *** and Yes I agree with you 100 percent.. Kevin this Piece needs to be..tighten up for todays Market..An Indie Artist could be the right move into the right direction See you in a few Thanx for your comments..;; It shows promise''.. Shirl;o

Very fun song, I enjoyed it. For what it's worth, I thought the Baby Baby part added some interest to the song. I would keep it. If I had to make a comment I would say add an instrumental/solo section. That would also help add some interest.

I like this a lot. My kind of song. It's simple melody with a lot of happiness in it!
Good job guys! No nits from me except the ending was a bit abrupt.
