Hello Dewey
Really good song
The verse and bridge are excellent
For the chorus I would add a distorted rhythm guitar
But that's a matter of taste
In any case I liked your song very much
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Good narrative and the vocal performance is cool.
There does need to be some arrangement switch to lift the chorus...whether it be a pulled back pre chorus, a surprise instrument or a key change.


Cheers

thanks Ray, that seems to be the consensus! I'll for sure experiment with some "chorus" lifting techniques/instruments. Love the constructive criticism because i want to get better!!

Nice write! Catchy song, solid chorus.

I'm with [b]rayc[/i] - it would be nice of the instrumentation changed a bit more one the chorus, to frame it a bit more.

I enjoyed the listen.

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

Hi Dewey,

A very nice song, good performance and strong lyrics and vocals!
But I can agree with Ray. I think your song can use some 'surprises', although I also enjoyed it the way it is.
So, to use the title of Marty Straubs' song; now you have 'mixed signals'

A very clever response, Hans, by including Marty's latest effort! Definitely plan to revisit the production in the chorus to see what I can do. Thanks for the feedback!!

Love the vocal, and this is a well written song, Dewey. I agree with What It Needs is a bit more dynamics, although your vocal shines with dynamics. Love the hook. Lyrics are excellent.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Good song, Dewey.

I really liked the prechorus, and I was surprised it only appeared once. Not only it a good lead in to the chorus, but it puts in a slight change of feel. Nice work!
