Good and very catchy song, it's definitely my favorite of yours so far.
The vocals and harmonies are pretty good, they remind me a bit of DC Ron.

Enjoyed my listen [Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]

AB, like BD said, a very good catchy tune, and interestingly the chord progression and hard lilting melody sound like a Rockabilly structure, yet with synth organ and electric rocking guitars which really updates it and is an intriguing way to arrange it. I really liked listening to it!

Hi John,
Thank you for the really nice comments and happy to hear you liked the song!

Yes, I like how this type of organ (RealTracks B3 Organ) enhances the sound of the vocal.

Hi Aurealius,

This version of your very nice song, with the harmonies, makes it much nicer.
I searched on the forum for that version I comented on, but could,t find it.
As I said. This is much more dynamic!

The song is good and I enjoyed it. Although it is legal to copy song titles, this title by Walk the Moon from 2014 is so distinctive and such a huge hit that, personally, I would not have done it. But not a big deal here on the forum.

Quite the can of worms about song titles, though not as much as similar or exact melodies. Song titles and phrases could fit well as a songwriting topic and for reasons of being able to distinguish yourself from another artist, finding a unique title would be something you'd want to do. There are some instances that defy that as everything in entertainment is fickle. Shortly after the Eagles had a #1 hit with "Best of My Love," so did the Emotions with the same title." Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds had a #1 with "Games People Play." When the Spinners released "Games People Play," they were challenged with the title so they changed it to "They Just Can't Stop It." The Copyright Office declared a song title cannot be registered as a copyright. Joe South and the Alan Parsons Project also had songs titled, "Games People Play." Brian Wilson objected to Katy Perry's "California Gurls" but there wasn't anything he could do about it. There are artists who purposefully avoided the same title as not to be confused. The Cowsills, "Rain, Park and Other Things" was originally tilted "The Flower Girl." to avoid confusion with Scott McKenzie's "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)". I think there was another artist, Paula Abdul, who had an album called "Shut Up and Dance." I would personally base it on how unique a title is. I'd be okay with "Dance With Me" but I wouldn't name a song, "A Horse With No Name."
