Nice song with a great chorus. Vocals are always good. Loved the rhyming of 'corner' and 'warn ya.' Nice cautionary tale. Good work and happy holidays!

Vic,
Nice catchy tune! Very universal bed. Slow it down or speed it up, it feels like it easily can be "converted" to whole bunch of different genres. Good one! Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Nice sound. It got my attention when you ended the first line with "invincible", and I started wonder what you'd rhyme it with. "Ain't so cool" was clever. I'm with Misha - nice pop. Good title, too. My daughter came walking by as the chorus was playing, and asked "What's a lucky heart?"I like it!

The Neil Diamond phrasing in the verses is interesting.
The reverb on your voice sits it not quite in the mix but that suits the NDness really.
I don't think the solo guitar suits the song but that's always a toss up isn't it?
Good performance and recording.
Cheers
