No, that's totally cool. I asked, so thanks for elaborating. I definitely don't want to sound cliche, and while in some respects I think this sounds kind of original, I think there's some validity to what you're saying.
Damn, I forgot about Sugar Ray. I think I actually kind of liked that sound a little at the time, but it seems cheesy now.
Initially, the entire thing was going to be rap, so be glad I at least dialed it back some! Thanks again.
Sure thing. Just for clarification....I don't think your song is cliche or unoriginal, just the rap part.
