OpenMic Songwriters Challenge Week 7 - Austen Ballard
<h4> Week 7 - 'Right Place and/or Right Time' (lyrics below)</h4>

https://youtu.be/BWJTAW5M38Y

<h4> "I Hope You Love All of My Sh!t" </h4>

Before I get into anything about this week's song, I have to give a huge thanks and shout out, once again, to @meno and @passion-ground for both giving my Week 6 song a spot on their Top 5. 

<h5>(<a href="https://steemit.com/openmic/@meno/open-mic-songwriters-challenge-week-6-special-delivery-my-top-5-selection"> meno's post </a> / <a href="https://steemit.com/openmic/@passion-ground/official-songwriters-challenge-or-passion-ground-s-top-5-entries-for-week-6"> passion-ground's post</a> )</h5>

I can't fully express how happy I am at the positive reception these two judges, and the Open Mic community at large, have given to my music. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

<h5> Follow @luzcypher and @meno to stay up-to-date about the Steemit Open Mic & Songwriters Challenge! </h5>

<h4> Staying on Track </h4>

The backing track I added to last week's song seemed well-received (thanks to everyone who suggested I do it!) so I've gone the same route this week, composing drums and synth elements to back up my live piano part. It's a lot of fun mixing pre-composed and live performed elements in this way, and - to give credit where credit is due - I couldn't do it without the amazing piece of technology that is Ableton Live. I won't go into exceedingly nerdy detail, so suffice it to say that no other DAW makes it so easy to do so much before, during, and after a live performance than Ableton. If you're not using it, I HIGHLY recommend you check it out. There's a new version coming out soon.

<h4> Lyrics</h4>
```
Week 7 - 'Right Place and/or Right Time'

Is this the top of the bottom or the bottom of the top
And how’d I end up here?
The way that everybody’s looking at me
Makes me want to disappear

I know I’m in the right place at the wrong moment
Always falling far behind
Never changing pace
'til I’m waiting in the wrong place at the right time

Is this the end of the beginning
Or is it all coming to a close?
The way that everybody’s talking lately
Makes me wonder if it shows

That I know I’m in the wrong place at the right moment
Wishing I was up ahead
Staying in the race
til I’m standing in the right place at the wrong time instead
```

Hahah thanks. I have my own little studio but I wouldn't say no to a ~real~ one, and I'll definitely take the compliment :) Thanks again to you, @meno and @pfunk for making all this happen.

Sweet.  Came together nicely this week.  You definitely have a particular sound going on with this one, reminds me of something more in the adult contemporary side of things or background for TV etc. (Hopefully that comes across as more of a compliment lol.)  

Enjoyed the duality in the chorus.

Wow, another full grown pop ballad, you keep dishing them out bro!
I see it as the theme song for a Rom-Com of two lovers that are meant to be together but one is always tied up in a relationship but then... Okay, maybe I got carried away a bit. Don't mind me. I'll just sit down and applaud. ;)

You're not wrong, that's at least partially what I was thinking about. Also how big things in life always seem to happen at the wrong time, either before you're ready for them or well after you hoped they would...

Thanks :) I like to do as much of a song myself as I can, so I've learned to play most of the instruments you don't blow into with at least some proficiency.

Whoah... really great song. This totally throws me back to the 80's, in a really good way. The vocals, the gated reverby snare, the mathy sounding synths in the background... or a little more modern-day, I'm also hearing echoes of Postal Service or some of the more ballady MGMT (both bands I love). Really inspiring. I've been thinking of doing backing tracks to some of my entries, this video shows that it can work beautifully. Your vocals are dead on and all the instrumental elements come together nicely to support them. 

Enjoyed the writing too, esp. the wry twist at the end: "'til I'm standing in the right place at the wrong time instead" :D Following
