Excellent write! I agree with floyd jane - lyrically, you really got the "sincere" Randy Newman song vibe, and the bridge really cemented it. I heard a bit of Randy in the vocal delivery as well.

In contrast, the melody and harmony - especially the cadences - don't sound like Randy at all, which helps it from sounding slavishly derivative.

Nicely done! smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
