What a cool tune! You nailed the feel/emotion you were going for without doubt! I felt like I was sneaking right along with every bar.
spies in disguise.
The gist is a twist
These little internal rhymes thrown in are brilliant. I love the level of lyric writing; and you made it sound effortless.
Lyrically, overall, you have some really well written ideas. You express yourself in such a great way that seems to serve your songs so well.
I was curious if you meant "plants" or "plans" though. Either could work; but was curious if what you have is what you meant. I couldn't exactly tell from the vocal either. The more I listened, the more I was convinced it was whatever I thought it was at the time. lol.
Now the music...wow! I love the total change of feel for the sections. I hear that so rarely. Typically it seems like "set and forget." I'm curious what you all did to accomplish this. I know what I do; but am always looking to see what others do to seem where I can improve. Consider me VERY impressed!
9/8...why not? lol You vocal line was so smooth over it, I think the common listener would not be aware of how complicated what you did was.
Great song. You said what you wanted to do; then showed us that that is exactly what you did. Great job!
