Excellent lyrics. My favorite lines: "Riley was scared today I saw it in her eyes/she don't buy her friends no plastic smiles and lies."

hi Scott
Wow, thanks so much! I'm thrilled you dug the "mastic production" – I must confess that I had no clue what "mastic" meant but your powers of observation are uncanny because I was secretly hoping someone would notice the painstakingly applied layers of sonic chewing gum! Glad the piano intro and the string/horn finale hit the mark; they were my attempt at a musical equivalent of a perfectly timed dramatic sigh. And honestly, hearing you loved those Riley lines makes my day. I figured those plastic smiles and lies deserved a good lyrical smackdown. Next time, I might try adding a tuba solo during the smackdown... for extra mastic-ation. 😁
My best regards to you.
