Hey man...not a bad effort; I haven't read the whole thread, and my monitors are blown, so I'm kinda' useless, but in my opinion, you're GOING to be a good writer. This song is not "great," and you may hate me for saying that, but I think when you listen to this in a couple of years, you'll agree, b/c you've got potential as a writer, I think.
Are there 2 vocalists on here? (don't laugh, these headphones suck)...
Anyway, my biggest crit with the song itself is not lyrical, it's that it doesn't really seem to "open up" during the choruses...It's hard to make a tune really dynamic with just an acoustic guitar, but still...I'm just not getting a big enough change from the verses to the chorus.
Don't hate me.
