This song drew me in from the very beginning. Starts of with a conversation with a friend whose "ship hasn't come in" and from that point paints a beautiful picture of a contented heart. I really love this song! My favorite lyric was the one about not climbing the corporate ladder but I can pay my bills. Reminds me of the scripture "Give me neither poverty nor riches"...somewhere right in the middle. I also liked the part about the "woman who believes in me even when I don't have a plan" (good choice for rhyming with man). There's not a thing I would change about this amazing chorus. A great song teaches a lesson and this one should be sung and heard a lot. I can't say enough good things about it. Fantastic job, and I definitely want to hear more of your work.
Cool intro, laid back. Great band, you aren't a beginner. Keep up the great work.
I like it when I hear a song and realize that I really want to listen to the story of the lyrics. To me, that means the lyrics are good and in this song this was the case. I was actually thinking more of the lyrics than the melody.
This doesn't mean I didn't like the melody. I did like it. It was what I want to get when I listen to contemporary country, a proper country melody.
there's no denying the professional quality of this demo/master. The singer should be on the radio. Excellent pitch and delivery...He has a unique quality. The instrumentation is very well done as well as the arrangement. 2:44 is well within the commercial time restraints of commercial country radio...This is broadcast ready and is a very strong pitch to movies and television and possibly commercials because of the simplicity of the lyric and storyline...it's very commercial and sounds like a radio friendly song
Reminded me of 'Brad Paisley'. Nice song enjoyed it. I thought the guitar parts were great and seemed to fit right in. Nice job overall. The mix was really great. Good stuff.
Wonderful song !! The writer did an excellent job on music and lyric's . singer has a nice voice . it's a good recording.
My best wishes to this artist!!
Excellent vocals & intstrumentation !The guitar in this song is really cool. This tune has a really nice vibe to it.
Just The Way They Are is a fantastic hook and everything in the song points to it. Some very strong writing. The tempo and melody fit the theme brilliantly. I'd like to hear more of your music.
I could find myself driving a Carolina back road with this on my radio or CD player. This is a beautiful track
All 5's for this one. I think it's ready to go!
Great conversational writing... every word sounds just like it fell out of a normal person's mouth... Great production. Simple and not overdone... The vocals get to shine. And the vocalist is great.
