A look at the cliches of the Singles bar scene as told in a rowdy honkytonk.
Anything constructive
Hey Jamie, I like the tempo and production. I could see this as a good live song as well. Is it still a cliche if you’re living it while hearing a song about what you’re doing? Mind warp… Got any more songs in the works or completed that you care to share?
I agree with brent that if you could turn the cliche on it’s head, you may gain some traction. Think of Justin Moore’s recent hit “You look like I need a drink.”
There’s also just a place in the world for fun drinking songs like these, even if no major artist cuts them!
Cheers,
Chad

Hi, Jamie!
Thanks for sharing your song with us. I like that you’re writing tempo - artists are always looking for more tempo songs.
It’s a fun song, and would probably go over well live… but I think my biggest concern for it is something you yourself mentioned in your description. “A look at the cliches…”
If you want an artist to record your songs, you have to either stay away from cliches or find a way to flip them so their fresh and compelling. (For example, the Lee Ann Womack song “Last Call,” the singer knew that the guy was calling from the bar, it’s closing time, and she’s always his last call. It took the cliche and turned it into something new.)
As an outside writer, you really want to bring something new to the table, so the artist has a reason to cut YOUR song instead of another writer’s.
Just my thoughts. Hope it helps. Please pay it forward by leaving a comment on another writer’s song. Thanks!
