Hello, 'jamestoffee'...
The Real Style you used, _NOHURRY.STY (No Hurry Americana Train Gtr Sol), really keeps the song moving, and that chuggin' musical motion is just right for delivering the humorously observed family scenes described in your lyrics. Also, you kept my interest with the things you did with the form and production of the song, such as your vocal harmonizations, the modulation that occurs at verse four, and the tempo reduction at the outro.
'Bubble Gum' is a fun listening experience!

Wow, that was fun and funny. I was smiling the whole listen. I especially love that second verse. Great sound in the chorus.

Hi James,
that's hilarious - you wouldn't believe how much I love stuff like that.
Very nicely instrumented, so well-sung.
Was chuckling so much I swallowd my gum...
Just great.
Stefan

So much fun. Hilarious. Love that harmony. Wonderful vocal throughout. A really good write and mix. [and I almost always add, "Yeah, ditto what Stefan said."]
