OpenMic Songwriters Challenge Week 6 - Austen Ballard
Week 6 - 'Special Delivery' (lyrics below)
What a week!
After being ill for, well, most of this contest so far, I was absolutely FLOORED to make both @meno and @passion-ground's Top 5 entries last week ( meno's post / passion-ground's post) along with the overwhelming amount of positive comments on my post. I really appreciate the love and I only hope I've managed to meet the bar I've apparently set for myself with this week's song.

Adding Elements
A few people suggested that I do more production on some of my songs from previous weeks- and while the time for those ones has passed, I decided to try it out this week, adding a backing track of electric piano, synth bass and drums to the live guitar and vocals. Please tell me if you think it sounds good or not. I live for (constructive) criticism. Just go easy on my voice, okay? Winter and sickness haven't been kind to me lately :/

Lyrics
Week 6 - 'Special Delivery'
You said you went to send a letter
You always go alone
You said you went to get a package
But you never brought one home
But baby I been trackin' all your bad laogistics
I know youre telling tales
I think I oughtta call you Postman Pat
The way you run around handling the males
So pack your shit and say good bye
Cause I know you been shipping with him overnight
You took my love like it was yours to sell
And sent it special delivery
To someone else
I don’t wanna know about the destination
You just have to go right now
Don’t you come at me like I should pay your postage
You just stamp your feet right out of this house
Thanks for listening! Leave a comment if you liked my song :)

Where words fail, music speaks.
always
Hehe, very witty lyrics here, 'handling the males' had me giggling. You still sound a bit sick, so keep cozy in this fur jacket of yours ;). Loving the backing tracks, it gives it a full arrangement.
Thank you :) I had fun doing the backing track, I think it adds a lot to have more instruments.
Loved the song!!! I'm so glad to see you again! Watch our entry for this wek :) hope you like it! https://steemit.com/openmic/@miguelarl/openmic-songwriters-week-6-special-delivery-quizas-no-eras-tu-la-nina-ingravida
