I was expecting something more melodic and BIGGER in the chorus...you need some dynamic changes - to lift it and make it the message. "Yeah, OK, whatever" is a dismissive phrase that starts the chorus on a downer. Last edited by rayc; 06/10/20 02:21 PM. Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe

I think a slightly different bass line would give this a little more punch. Maybe something like RT 1849 Bass, Electric, Modern Country, Synch EV16 100. Just a thought, FWIW. Nonetheless, I enjoyed your song a lot! Wishing you the best. Be safe ...
