Hi Dan

Interesting that you noticed the poetic "blank" verse. First comment I've ever had on that. Must be subtle.
I never realized I was writing the majority of the lyrics that way - seriously.
They just seemed to fit the chord change pattern.
It was in a discussion about rhyme with one of the other PG Forum writers that
I suddenly looked at the song and said "where's the rhyme".

I like progressively developing the arrangement - ear candy, yes. Keeps the interest
for the listener even though they may not realize it.
It's kind of a callous way of looking at song production, but one of the bigger names
in Nashville says that the radio station owners are only interested in a song that will keep the listener's attention from the Coke to the McDonalds commercial. Ear Candy, slow unfolding lyrics . . .whatever works.
