 Ya  ya hurt me  I ain't denying that    It's not the first time       that's a stone cold fact                                                          It's no secret                      might be hard to patch this time       
Was it this time   or the time before ya got your mad on    and you slammed the door
swore you'd  never  ever darken my day again
 
though the house seems kind of empty and the phone aint rang in days
might run out to the lake   have a beer with the guys  so they can see that I'm ok
I just stare at the phone but I can't pick it up yeah you know just how stubborn I get
Foolish pride  yeah I know   Got the t-shirt  done that But I aint that lonely yet
 
I aint that lonely yet I'm telling all my friends Yeah my mind is set I ain't that lonely yet
I ain't that lonely yet Hell, the paints still wet On this picture of life, love , hope , and regret I aint that lonely yet
 
Someone told me   they saw you out on the town said you looked fine   had your friends all around this phone ain't ringing dang the lines    must       be           down
I'd call your momma to check that you are ok but she'd tell ya  and there just ain't no way I'll make the first move   you might think I'm crawling back
 
 We had a good long ride together Spring   summer  flew by   now comes fall but after this part comes the winter and thats the coldest time of all
I aint that lonely yet I'm telling all my friends Yeah my mind is set I ain't that lonely yet
I ain't that lonely yet Hell, the paints still wet On this picture of life, love , hope , and regret I aint that lonely yet

I can't believe no one has commented on this nice country song.
Nice separation/stereo.
Country is not my leaning but this seems a winner for the style.
It has a looser "Live" feel which i prefer to some of the midi obsessions with perfect tempo.
I think the vox could use some passionate realism.
Maybe wait until your dog dies and try then. JK lol.
Nicely put together. Very complete well crafted backing tracks.

Thanks.  I haven't been on the Sonar forum much recently and kind of the way it works is you review songs and other folks review yours. That's probably why it has not been commented on.  Since the last time I posted material here, I went back to school and took a class from Berklee as well as several others.  My vocals are always my weakest spot. This is all just me except drums which are Superior Drummer .

The song is good.  The mix is good.  The timing of the two guitars in the first measures of the song felt slightly off, but I didn't feel that afterwards?
 
A better vocal would transform this song.

I agree with the above comments, has a loose feel to it. I believe it would present better if you tighten the timing up a little since it seems to me all anyone cares about out in the population is the groove.
 You sound like whispering Bill Anderson. Good song !

and my life ;)  
 
Thanks for the feedback. I am going to go back and look at the guitar parts in the first measure and see if something is going somewhere causing a sync issue.

I usually refrain from suggestions...I sure didn't mean to be a jerk, my apology if it sounded that way.
 
I wasn't suggesting a different vocalist so much as some processing on your vocal:)  V-Vocal has become my go-to plug-in for fixing pitch and smoothing out the levels.  (I have Melodyne but it confuses me.)  I'm fairly new at this, but I have doubled my vocal and panned each completely to get a bigger sound, or you might try a delay and/or bringing up the level and then adding some reverb.  I usually experiment with the presets of the VX-64 Vocal Strip also.
 
Later.

I never refrain from being a jerk, "I was born a poor black child." (Steve Martin? From The Jerk?)
 
I like your song, it needs "glue" The drums need "PUNCH" The vox feel like you're holding back, and yes, if it's a performance thing, we're you are a lover and not a fighter, then lots can be done with plugs, compress it, limit it, put a little delay on there, some chorus on the background, some verb (I like a plate on the vox) 
 
The mix could be holding it back a little Steve, again though, I like your song.  And there were a few spots where some of the timing floated a bit off of the bubble. (but I like your song) That's the great thing about this? Almost nothing is ever really finished? We can always go back and plug away at it (I do)

Hey Steve, this is a great song! I love the lyrics! I agree that maybe you were holding back when you laid the vocals down. I've done the same thing in the past when I didn't want anyone else to overhear me. Now, my attitude is "deal with it!" Belt it out, man! I think you have a good voice. You just need to put a little more "oomph" behind it. :) And I love that pedal steel! I'd like to hear it a little more! Those are my only crits, which really aren't crits. I like this song a lot! It should be on the radio. Nice job Steve!

I listened to it again and I wasn't getting that loose feel that I did the first time. Have you tweaked it some? I like your vocal, has a real natural sound to it , as I stated above ,you sound like Whispering Bill Anderson, and he made a fortune singing and writing tunes! I really like the song, I think it ha s a lot of potential.
