Hi Brad,

What a coincidence; I posted my song, then listened to yours, but couldn't comment on it because I had to leave.
Then your comment came on my song...

Now I finish my post on your song. Very nice song and especially the lyrics!
I'm getting more and more amazed/concerned at your country when it comes to politics overthere. I follow the news closely, because what is happening in your country has a big impact on the western world.

But about your song; It starts 'joyful' in the melody and use of instruments. At first that put me on the wrong track. But when reading the lyrics I got it "aha"!
I can only agree with your line: "but more honesty is what this country needs" although seen from a political point of view. Honesty itself is the most difficult value we have.

I have one observation you might consider for your songs; Too many words become a mush for the listener... and a hell of a job to sing with intonations. You can achieve your goals with less words. Once Robbert told me this. And I tried it (and still do) and came to the conclusion he was right. Still I think your lyrics are very good (the message).

Have a nice day,
Hans
