She`s trouble (now with link)
My wife asked me before we got married if I was looking forward to marrying her. I answered yes, of course, and asked her the same back... She Replied; "Yes, `cause then I can divorce you and take everything". Then she has the nerve to ask if I can write her a song.... Well, here it is! https://soundcloud.com/rufrag/shes-trouble For some reason the sidechain compression wouldn`t work when I wanted to export this... I would have sidechained the vocals to the acoustic guitar and the Kickdrum to the bass... I hope you like it -Øyvind

Great voice! Fun tune - this mix of humor and oddly accurate assessment of some situations (been divorced twice!). And yes, I did it again.
Good playing and solid performances.

I like the vocal has a nice vibe to it, the arrangement works well, some clever lyrics and the mix sounds fine here, thanks for sharing.

That was really cool... Loved the sorta "small club" feel to the mix, and everything is pretty clear. The only minor mix-nit I'd have is that kick drum is a bit "clicky". Otherwise, all of the vocals (delivery and recording) sound great and the song itself is just so much fun.

Thank you so much :) I really appreciate the feedback! I need more practice mixing drums, so this kind of feedback is very valuable for me! :D

I'm not trained in psychology, so i wont try to tell you what your wife's questions truly meant. If you're still married then you're good to go. Regardless, your music is wonderful.

Exceptionally cool tune, Øyvind. Very inventive writing, really nice groove, and super sweet harmonies. Loved it. You have a great singing voice. I'm jealous.

bgv = background vocals. I asked the same question myself once.
Divorce, sadness, pain? Whatever. You can flat out sing with style, so shine on.
This is a great song, clever lyrics, well presented, well recorded, well mixed. Awesome job.
My only crit might be a look at the acoustic guitar, it sounds a bit DI'ed, did you put a mic on it or run it into the board with a DI somehow? It could have a more "live" feel in the mix, that would match the rest of the elements a bit better imho.
cheers, keep posting dude! Great tune and great style.

Wow, thank you all! I`m really overwhelmed by all the positive feedback :D
Yeah, Tom... I`m guilty with DI on the acoustic guitar. Thanks for pointing that out, that kind of feedback helps me make better decisions later :D
Again, thank you all so much for all kinds of feedback!
