One Night Stands is a strictly country piece in the highest sense of the word. everything sounds in country style and even the singer has a country voice as I said everything recalls the country genre. personally it is not my favorite genre but I can give you a musical judgment that is certainly positive because all that there must be in a country piece in your piece is therefore complimented and continues. good job

I know the term "one night stand" has multiple meanings, but the primary one, at least that I know of, involves more than playing music. HA! I think you should rewrite your chorus to avoid any misconceptions prior to your song being heard. It's not a bad song, but I believe with a bit more work the ambiguous chorus/title could be fixed, unless of course you want to pun on the wordplay, in which case you should work on that instead. Good luck! Good singing and instrumentation!!

Loved the tempo ..great vocals very well delivered , look forward to hearing more from you soon on N1M as you say in the song you’re on your way keep up the great work the world is awaiting you ! Suzanna Kay

I like the start aand the beat of the bass and snare and the drums right on time, everything is smooth the guitar does the song justice and the voice fits right in and I like the beat , I have listened three times to get a little better thought process going and I can't find much wrong to clatter about the volume of voice could have been up a little but its not so low you can't hear the words an the message doesn't get lost in the music, altho I would not have minded a little break in the song to let his guitar man do a little more and a littlr ivory might have give me real to go even a little higher on rating but I recommend />Thanks Guys

Hi Gar. I love this song; truly the life of a musician. lol I really like your acoustic guitar work. For the beginning of the song, have you ever considered the clapping to follow the following beat structure: 1 - 23,4 - 1 - 23,4 ? I like the words too, as they aptly describe the life of a travelling musician, but there are a couple of places where the smooth flow of the meter of the words is broken up by too many words in a phrase, or where the emphasis on a word of a phrase is mis-placed. Example: . . . travellin country band, "doin our best" to make you happy if we can. For what it's worth, would you consider replacing "doin our best" with something like "tryin hard" with the emphasis on the word hard? Then it would be easier on the ears and the mind to meld with and follow the song. Another example would be shortly after; "We sing a heart-felt song . . " Would you consider emphasizing the word "sing" rather than on the "We"? Again, it would promote a smoother flow of the words. Same with "the telephone calls"; maybe something about "long distance calls". There are 5 syllables in the first phrase and only 4 in the second. (I hope I am not confusing you) Also consider the phrase "we MAKE a living", "we give you everything" (fewer words), "we MAKE a living". The lead guitar is a great addition, but sometimes there is a note that just doesn't seem to fit in with the scale of the key in which you wrote the song. All in all, I absolutely love this song. It is simple, it tells a good clean story, and is a song I would love to do some day. lol Keep up the great work Gar. (Is that short for Garfield?) Blessings, Trev :)

Hi here is my review first of all this is a very nice song with a lot of meaning and the perfect song for a traveling band very good story line the music was really nice and upbeat vocals were cool as well keep making great music I hope what I have said in this review will help you in some way from James Milligan President/CEO,New Experience Rec Rick Ross Music Group/Universal Music Group.

I think this song has to be rerecorded for many reason..first.. Singer hit sometime wrong notes...background music is same over and over...the song has a potential but to need to be "worked on"...and make changes..it will also help to get a better singer..I hope soon I will hear a better recording...Jerzy

Hey there, I like this song! The music is a moving ditty and the lyrics are nice. The only thing I'd change would be a little less verb on the vocal. It put an overtone on the vocal, making it somewhat hard to understand all the words. Otherwise, a nice song. Best of luck!

From the rollicking intro to the twangy lead guitar this one takes on the traditional country genre and evokes time worn memories of Dick Curless and C.W. McCall. Not to mention a hint of Me and Bobby McGee in the melody. Good time fun for the Friday night bar crowd and a nice little tale of a band doing bar gigs and staying happy. The solo is pentatonic and has a nice warble, maybe a touch long for radio but that's not the point here. Just a song about the life...

Nice First of all the beat is hot and the intro is very invitational. The hook is catchy and nice, and the lyrics are pretty good. Overall I see greatness in this song. It has potential to top the charts. Keep it up! First of all the beat is hot and the intro is very invitational. The hook is catchy and nice, and the lyrics are pretty good.

This song very well describes the life of the professional musician - the common professional. It is a hard life that we just have to live. “We don't care where the money goes, we’re only happy playing shows” Is the lyric that begins the chorus and it is absolutely spot on. This is a musicians’ song. It resonates with me. This is the real life of the typical professional musician. The Singer and band are perfect for this song. The Singer has that sound you get when you perform every night, drummer is practiced and solid, the guitar is very appropriate and skilled and the arrangement is just right for this theme. Meet a musician on a personal level in ONE NIGHT STANDS.

I think anybody who has been on the road can relate to this song. Love the intro. Gar, I would seriously consider kicking up the key you sing in. I personally think you could get much more oomph out of your voice if you did.Where its at now it just gets lost in the mix. Also maybe another guitar player, he hits a lot of bad notes for recording. Sorry, just being honest with you. The overall band is tight enough.The sound is good and I really like this song. Also talk to your producer to bring your vocal out more.

First of all, I like the smooth delivery of your vocals. Gar, nice lead guitar, you are singing for every singer out there worldwide. The drums right on the beat. The bass sounds good all around it's a pretty good song and I like the background harmony. You are telling the story, The music all the way thru, takes me on the that journey. Looking forward to hearing more from you from down under country thank you Songedge

Very nice traditional country rock song. Nice listening music. Good luck down and under there in Australia. Take a listen, you might like it. Keep them coming. Thank you for allowing me to listen.

Gar, I'd like to thank you for asking me to review your song. I'm not an expert music critic but, I know feedback from other writers is important in the process of making music though, the final grade on our work always comes from the general audience. Okay, my first thought listening to this song is, the recording quality is very poor. Vocals are buried so deep in the sound the lyrics are barely discernible to me making whatever story and/or emotions inside the song, lost on me. I believe every song is a story, so the vocals are the most important part of it. No story; it's just sound. I think itself has a nice energy to it so, it would a nice addition to a show set and, make a good filler on a CD package. That's my honest take brother. As one old songwriter to another, I wish you well with your music. Doug

One Night Stands by Gar Mac Lehman has a nice rambling/traveling groove sung with a voice full of character. The concept for the song is solid. I thing the song would stand stronger if the lyrics could be honed using fewer words - especially in the hook. Give us something easy to sing along to in the chorus. I think musically, utilizing the guitar to deliver a melodic hook to open the song and reinforce the chorus would be beneficial. Adding to that thought, perhaps a more conventional Telecaster voice for the guitar would be a good fit. Nice job, Gar!

this country song starts getting the listener into the rhythm and feeling with the band, rocking solo guitar and drums, the singer getting the - hey, misleading ? - title straight by telling about the One Night Stands almost any band goes through on their way to fame and stardom or even their whole musician´s life.. oh no, it´s not that sad love song the music-consumer would probably guess, and that got a smile on my face instantly after the first chorus.. technically, a bit hall/reverb less on the lead singer could do, although, mixed like it is, sounds more like a live record at a small event location, with the guitarplayer excited on his soli and the drummer over-rocking his cymbals, without the roaring crowd though, and not like a in high tech studio where everything gets totally smoothed out. I reckon, this was the intention of doing this song, and all newcomer-musicians should listen to the experienced frontman sounding like touring forever ;-)
