Not that I'm any judge at all, but this really ought to be a hit, you've nailed it. That hook is just too good. If I had one crit it would be to edit the guitar solo a little, it started perfectly then went 'off on one', which is great and it's beautifully played, but this song needs to get straight back to that hook asap.
Thanks for the kind words about the song.
Yeah, The guitar gets a little carried away;-) What I'd really love to hear on this song is some rock piano or maybe some crunchy Deep Purple type keyboard decorations. One thing that I find difficult when putting together a song is getting it across the finish line with the right type of vocal improv and instrument decorations. Those types of little things that people latch on to. You can always usually sniff out something trite and contrived. Those kinds of decorations have to be truthful.I ask my girl Robin to help me with that kind of thing. She has some really good ideas in my opinion.
BTW.... I listened to your stuff. It's really special. There's great truth and sincerity in the music you make.
Glad this thread got bumped, because I didn't see this post before. Wow, thank you so much, that's made my day!
