Lyrics

The Devil's In the Details
© 2010 All Words and Music by Warren Hein

I want out it's not too late
This has been one big mistake, she said
After all it just a year
These are temporary tears, I said
By the way I want the car
We have no kids, keep your guitar, she said

No, I'm not too surprised
That woman was a little too free
Her beauty begged attention
So the fault is half on me

When the devil's in the details
Your head's stuck in the stars
Love's not some sleepy (damned) fairy tale
No matter how awake you are
When the devil's in the details

Our bodies fit so perfectly
But we were DOA right from the start
I didn't take the time to ask her needs
And she just never spoke her heart
Our love became convenient, too easy
Like something you'd pick a la carte

has a nice easy flow about it! like the song good work

Love the melody, easy to dance to.
Kieth Urban type song

good intro. great guitar sound. driving drums. appropriate vocal style for the song. devil's in the details is an original name

She said..... love it.... great story.......

You had me from the first note. I loved the vocals and guitar. Your lyrics tell a great story. Did you like specific instrumental parts--vocals and guitar.

1) Does my intro make you want to hear the song? yes 2) Does my opening line draw you in and make you want to hear more? yes 3) Is my melody interesting? yes 4) Does my melody get stuck in your head? yes 5) Does my chorus stand out and take the song to a higher place? yes.

Great words and vocals. Love the instrumentation. Everything sounded great.

great musicians and singer.

Really a great listen...crisp recording, not overdone, backbeat solid. The vocalist is very good, but not like he's a great singer...like he has great style...reminds me a lot of a guy here named Spud.
I think I got the story first time around...some guy reaching out of his league and once there finds the flaws that come with perfection.

Some really clever lyric here. Excellent production!

I love this song! Well written and very, very well performed!

Great beat, arrangement and lyics

Really rocking demo.. shows your song off very well. The chorus is catchy and well written. Sounds like a song I would hear on the radio. :-)

Very good song...

Good verse lyric and concept of song.

Nice instrumentation, vocals, and production. It's a well put together song. The song is categorized correctly as Contemporary Country, which is refreshing in itself. It has a good toe-tapping kind of feel too it.

Good melody and vocal performance. Good song structure. Good contemporary country arrangement. Well crafted lyrics with a natural rhyme scheme. A pleasant listening experience.
