This is a country/pop country song I co-wrote with Emily Kroll and J.W. Faria. We decided to go with a full production track on this one which I produced, recorded, and mixed at home with vocals provided my Emily.
This is my first attempt at playing producer and I'd love to know what y'all think of the track. My co-writers and I are aiming for the current commercial country/pop country market with this one - how do you think we did?
Hey, Sean! Nice song. Overall, I think it has a cool vibe. I’ll be honest- I like the phrasing of the verse that comes after the 1st chorus more than the phrasing of the 1st two verses. It has more energy and is more interesting. I think if ya’ll can pull off phrasing like that, it’ll really help keep the listener engaged and along for the ride right into that chorus. Thanks for posting!

I don’t go to that old bar
Don’t wanna see your car
Can’t stand to see you dancing
With a new girl in your arms
And I take the interstate
So I don’t have to pass your place
As hard as I’ve been trying
I can’t shake your memory
It plays over and over and over and over again
In my head like a record stuck on, stuck on spin.
CHORUS:
We were spinning around the dance floor,
Heads spinning from the wine
Wheels spinning in your Camaro
Stars spinning in my mind
We were spinning so fast
We got off track
We were spinning around, spinning around
‘Til we spun out
How do I leave the past in the past
Keep myself from looking back
When every time I turn on the radio
Our song’s playing from the dash
It plays over and over and over and over again
In my head like a record stuck on, stuck on spin.
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
It plays over and over and over and over again
In my head like a record stuck on, stuck on spin.
It plays over and over and over and over again
In my head like a record stuck, on stuck on spin.

I like the idea of spinning and spun out being applied to a relationship. I’ve listened to it four times and I think it is a well recorded song. It sounds like it fits with what is currently on country radio.
