Survival of the fittest Survival of the fittest
Survival of the fittest That's the law of the land

It's a jungle out there better beware boy
better watch your step
Better take care boy
Back stabbers glad handers look you in the eyes
while the're telling you lies
Better watch your step Gotta watch your step CHOR

Is a cold world out there better take care boy
Got to keep on the move Every step that you take
Every move that you make
Fight fire with fire only play to win don't you ever give in
Stand your ground, but watch your step

MID> It's a game of natural selection
Run with the pack only the strong survive
Take my hand and we'll run
Straight into morning and out forever now

Lead 1x
Fight fire with fire only play to win don't you ever give in
Stand your ground, but watch your step

Elliot...what a fun song...stellar work in all areas...the Synth V guys sound great...super harmonies...love the guitar solo...everything is clean and in its place...very pro sounding...great listen indeed!

Cool song man!

Yeah this is pure 80s gold all right and I like it!

80s indeed...the intro is dangerous - it was so quiet I reached for the volume & the BAM! Deafness.
Good work with the synth vox.

Well done, well sung. Great rock.

Elliott, you said "I was going for a 80's Rock Hit ... inspired by Pat Benatar, Heart " and you really nailed it!
One of the best synth vocal songs ever! They sound so real it is scary.
The perfect hair band backing the vocals.
Outstanding mix.
Great effects also!

Elliot, you really nailed the genre in the composition, arrangement and instrument choices. More Pat than Heart to my ears, and I love them both, but that's not a bad thing at all. That guitar break is KILLER! Well done.

You really knocked it out of the park with this one. as the others have said, has that 80s sound, clean track, super vocals

Elliott,

One of your best! The Synth V vocals, production and arrange are superb. Love the groove on this one.

Excellent!

Bob

Mission accomplished, Elliott. Strong sound. Very full. Man, you are good with those synths. Great melody and quite a range. Hey, the lead break is 100% awesome, too. Very catchy sound.

Hair band galore! Simply stated you nailed every aspect of that vibe.

Your performance 👍🎸 and the synth guys are great. One of the best RD tracks we’ve heard. The lyric is perfecto for the feel.

Nice to see PG Music featured it on Hot Topics.

Kudos,

J&B

Hi Elliott.

What a fantastic song and brilliant production!
The Synth V vocals are amazing. They sounded fully real to me.
If you hadn't said that these were vocaloids, I wouldn't have been able to tell.
I love groove. I love the lyrics.
This was a very satisfying musical journey.

Howdy Elliot....

I dig this write and it's a appealing listen, no doubt.
Cool topic, very clean recording and some great axe work, per your usual.

TBH....I don't see myself ever using any AI Synth vocals route but this one sure has quite a convincing quality to it.
Pretty amazing.

Very well done, I enjoyed it.

You nailed it Elliott - powerful delivery/arrangement and production! Pro stuff - very well done!!

Best, Carl

Engaging song from the start on all levels. Though "the fittest" are the species which can best adapt to their changing environments. So humans come in bottom of the class. 

Hi Elliott,

Great rocker and yes I can imagine Pat Benetar covering your song.

Excellent mix and guitar work.

Well done.

Best Regards
Nigel

What a cool groove. Loved the intro. Boy were those vocals were awesome. Incredible technology. Excellent production and mix. Well done

Elliot,

Nice 80's Pop Rock track.
Good work with the girls.
Good mix.
Drums are good - hittin' hard. Nice Bass. I thought the guitars could have be slightly louder.
And fun....
