Hey Scott.

The pre mix and pre master volume is purposely low to allow final fine adjustments.

You ought to be able to hear the track loud enough as it stands,by turning up your monitor volume,but certainly not flat out.

Haha you're right, still had my work-hat on (late one) where everything has to be a bloody projects worth - this is play time!

And that's cool info about the low volume pre mastering, makes sence. Think it's my listening means that's mostly to blame on the volume too

Yeah, keep the volume low when recording. Boydies number one tip and it is SO right. Can all be sorted out in the mastering process

Bin's track was called spin the bottle or sth - maybe that got carried over to the files..
I believe Fool's Paradise will be the proper name  of the finished product ;D

Looks to me like Paulski,acting on behalf of the too busy bin,has just stepped up to rename the song.

I'm firmly on the side of whoever is right.

 :D

Confirming "Fool's Paradise" is the official name of the song. This turned out so good! You all did an incredible job pulling this off. Kudos to everyone involved!

I left more comments on the thread in the Finished Songs forum and can submit this for placement in movies and TV programs when I get an MP3 copy of the song. I think I have found the final version of the lyrics, is this correct?

Intro x 2

I've gone back to my old habits
Since you put my heart on ice
I'm filling up the hole you left
With some good old friends of mine...

{vs 1}
Well I got this half-baked feeling
And my brain is getting fried
The party's overheating
At the "Fool's Paradise"

Chorus x2?
I'll be dancing through the night
With every spirit I can find
At the Fool's Paradise

Guitar solo

V2
I know this party's gonna end
I'll get abandoned by my friends
We can patch it up, but until then
That old hole needs fillin' again..

Bridge
Johnny Walker - takes a seat
"Party On!" He says to me
From Jimmy Beam - comes a Rebel Yell
So loud it echoes round Heaven Hill
Jackie Daniels takes the stage
He grabs a mic and starts to sing

Chorus
So I'll be dancing through the night
With every spirit I can find
At the Fool's Paradise
At the Fool's Paradise

Boydie, would you be so kind as to send me an MP3 version? I can only download a .wav from Soundcloud and the website where I make submissions requires radio-ready MP3 copies.

Thank you, Jackdaw.

I've put this out there to two publishers, two TV/film opportunities and two independent artists. I'll let you all know when I hear back.

Unfortunately, I only have two collaborators listed in the credits. I'd like to add everyone who participated. If you're interested in having your name and contribution in the credits, please pm me your info so I can add you ASAP.
