But because none of these changes will do this song any justice, IMO, I decided to stick with what I have even though the total length is 3:30 instead of 3:15. I think you'll agree when you listen to the demo, which can be done at the following link:

I like this version. The bridge is a bit shall we say different and could probably be dropped totally or rework the chords. It resolved back into the song nicely but the bridge felt like it wasn't a part of the song overall.

David gave you good advice on the song.

Thanks for the feedback (and the compliment), Herb! I prefer the longer, full-length bridge myself (and so does my producer), but I wanted to see and hear how a shorter bridge would turn out and sound along with the other changes that David suggested I try as a "test." I'm working on a demo with the full-length original bridge, which I'll share the link to here when I upload it to my Youtube channel.
