Just A Theory

Liner Notes

#songfight #folkrock

I've spent about four or five hours writing and recording this one tonight as I'm going out of town tomorrow and the songfight deadline has come and gone already.

Lyrics

I used to be the one she would run to
I used to be the one that would make everything all right
But I couldn't be there when she needed me
Somehow I got lost, tied up in my pride

I used to make her laugh
Now I'm trying to get her back
It's just a theory
But I think she still loves me

I used to be the one
Now I'm under the gun
It's just a theory
But I think she still loves me

I don't remember what we fought about
And now I can't take back those words I said to her
I don't blame her for avoiding me
It's hard to sit here knowing I got what I deserved

I used to make her laugh
Now I'm trying to get her back
It's just a theory
But I think she still loves me

I used to be the one
Now I'm under the gun
It's just a theory
But I think she still loves me

And I don't care who started that last fight
And I don't care who had to be right
And I won't make the same promise as before
'Cause I want to give her something more

I used to make her laugh
Now I'm trying to get her back
It's just a theory
But I think she still loves me

I used to be the one
Now I'm under the gun
It's just a theory
But I think she still loves me

I used to make her laugh

I used to make her laugh

Strong country ballad. Like the title hook, adds a bit of sophistication with the word "theory". Nice guitar licks throughout and enjoyed the dropoff coming out of the bridge.

Why is my most favorite part of this perfect power ballad the drums? Counting the ways. The harmonies on the chorus are the icing on the cake.

A solid earwormy pop rock tune. Through and through. Side note -This may possibly be the first song I have ever heard using the words gun and theory.

Got a real nice feel to this one! Its very clean and your vocals are really precise. Lovely guitar work! I can hear the extra production in this one! The drums are really good! I would have this on a playlist for sure.

Saw this one go up last night and didn't get a chance to listen to it.
Sounds great to me. I don't think you need another vocal take. This one works great.

this is a good one-great setup to get to the title line, nice choices with everything- production sounds really full and well done, too. Bridge really adds a lot musically, too.
