Open Up the Gate

Right down to the wire on this one. Oof, kinda screwed up the compression, but I didn't hear it until listening on earphones, and there's <60s left. A cautionary tale of slapping a mastering compressor on with 3 minutes to go. :shrug:

Nice. This kind of reminded me of Front Porch Step. Tortured guy with a guitar, pining after a girl. Haha

I like it men, that guitar sounds really great! The vocals have plenty room for backing vocals wink

Love the heartfelt vibe of your song and the raw emotion really comes through, even with the compression hiccup. It sounds good to my ears though. Good job!

i honestly dont know how you come up lyrics like this every week it just blows my mind

good job on this

lol did the exact same thing this week. Pretty arrogant to think we could do more good than harm mastering in 2 minutes 😆

Great lyrics. Find it hard enough just to do the chorus / short verse combo Ive been able to manage. You leave no excuse for us…

Like the chord change on the mean you no harm line

That's a damn solid chorus. Got me a bit emotional! I could see that being really huge, a great melody and delivery. Really enjoyed that man!

You do have a way with words.  Every week is a treat. Keep it up.

Great song. The way you did the guitars was excellent. I was quite perplexed until I realized it was 2 guitars. Nice!

That chorus is really nice "Oh girl, I'm right outside, so open up the gate". I like the simple approach to this track and yet how catchy it is!
