Vocal sounds good, I especially like the BGV "ooooos". Love the chorus!
Bass solo sounds good too.
Nice one, enjoyed.
Hi Dave!
Thanks for the good feedback! A few years back, I became aware of endorphins, synapses, dopamine etc. and realised that one of the reasons why I liked using check boxes on my to-do lists was that I had a super-busy job and needed a range of techniques to keep on top of my workload. Their use gave me an opportunity to tick the box or cross it off the list, giving me a sense of accomplishment. I quickly came to realise this was a chemical reaction, so ‘a release of endorphins’ entered my vocabulary. When I wrote that line for this song, the relationship between a check box and endorphins was historically embedded. I needed a rhyme so ‘orphan’ was the unchecked box left hanging there.
Thanks for listening!
Andrew
