(B) But I feel your pain man.

As for the music:

(C) I don't think this is as much of a demo sound as you think. I think it's really really close to being commercial in sound with just a couple of tweaks.

(D) The only thing that you have to add in my opinion is one or two instruments of your own that add a little bit more spontaneity or quirkiness to the parts, so you get that element of surprise.

(E) And yes your voice did have some totally Australian accents to it to me, but there's not a thing in the world wrong with that. I love Australian singers so if you picked up a couple of accent qualities while you're over there then good for you.
Thanks David for your wonderful response! Picking up on some of the points you mentioned …
A - go ahead and use that idea - Mrs O’Connor meets the Revenge of the Stepford Wives😂
B - this problem (unsolicited offers) has never happened to me, but I’d like to think I would respond the same way. My wife is a true introvert and would never become Mrs O’Connor. To pinch a line from As Good As It Gets, ‘She makes me want to be a better man’.
C - all I want is one day for my (eventual) grandkids to say ‘Granddad used to write songs’.
D - I didn’t add my own playing on this one, but usually add guitars and bass. Quirkiness is my middle name!
E - lived here in Adelaide since I was three. Us South Aussies are known for ‘dance pronounced with a of car, not like a of ants’ if you get my drift, so I’m scanning to see what phonetic breadcrumbs I had there.
