But one thing bothers me, maybe I am being too 'literal' or I'm 'not getting it' .. but the tag .. "tell me, am I wrong or am I right?" .. is not really directly related to very many of the things you say in the verses. The only place the tag really works for me is where you say .. "I think there's someone else you see" .. there I can really see you coming back at the end with .. "tell me, am I wrong or am I right?" Everywhere else, it only works if you don't think about it much. But for me, I didn't really think about it, I just noticed it. Almost working, but not quite. Like, take the first verse:You tell me that I 'aint half badthat I'm the best you ever had .................... in the first 2 lines she is telling you somethingthen suddenly you're slipping out of sightyou're off and on, you're here and gone ..... in lines 3 and 4 you are just stating factsI need to know where I belong .................. here you kinda ask her a questionjust tell me, am I wrong or am I right? ....... so here, in regards to what in specific are you asking her confirmI am probably missing something. Just got out of bed. You guys can tell me how dumb I am.Dean Hi Dean,Well the way I saw it, "Tell Me Am I Wrong or Am I Right?" has several meanings and was a play on words. Definition 1 is like you said, which is "is what I'm saying true or not?" but it could also mean "am I right for you or wrong for you?", "do you want me or not?" or "just tell me and quit stringing me along!" The first verse is more "do you want me or not?" Does that make sense? This song comes from personal experience btw. Cam

I love the tempo of this song right off the bat. Really catchy.This is my one thought, I don't know if it's a suggestion or not, but it's a 2 cents.I was thinking you should change the hook to "Tell me what I'm in, the wrong or right?" and then title it "Wrong or Right"I think your chorus could be lifted into "country big," I think you're on to something with this song.-Andy

Cam,After you explain it, I can see what you are trying to do. However, I am still not sure what percentage of people will 'get' that secondary meaning or what percentage will be like me .. a little thrown by it. I hope everyone else picks up on it right away. Dean

re the listing cam, i'm gunna have to amazon a couple of them, for for some i'm thinking it would fit--however, this last week i'm now being told not only i'm ugly, but my feet stink, in my latest turn downs...and some exciting new screeners who have decided to pick on stuff that used to be good! so i might be the wrong dude to ask,....not in a good mood, but i've got songs coming up almost done, so as my grandma used to say "better days are comin'!"all the best,warren

I really like the upbeat melody combined with a dark subject. Your vocals are crystal clear. Everyone could relate to this message Thanks for sharing
