ok so my GF likes to watch The Voice and Idol. Ok I like The Voice more then Idol and she asked me if I could make a POP song because of something on of the judges said about trying stuff outside your wheelhouse. So im all like, but Babe I dont have all that crazy keyboard **** POP stars use. Shes like you freakin slacker! (much worse then that, for real, for real), and bought me Alchemy 1.5. crazy woman!!!http://www.camelaudio.com/Alchemy.php 
ok so I can see where this is going, no sleep for the wicked. I am not a great singer, but I figure V-vocals will help. Im not good at writting POP for sure, but Im not opposed to trying something new( aka outside my wheelhouse). So here it is, I was late the other day picking up my daughter, who lives with her mom ATM. I realised after finally getting there I was way more upset about being late then she was and she was totally cool about it. I tried to generalise the lyrics to fit for just about anyone being late, and the other person being totally cool about it cause THATS LIFE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS!

Too much guitar for pop Jason, you'd have to cut that solo  Quite a cool song though, your vocals have a 'Men at Work' vibe  now and then.

lol I cant cut the guitars, pop will just have to lower its standards to my guitaring  hahaha! Thanks for the Men at Work ref, I liked them alot back then. I was one of the first guitar players in my hood to learn  "who can it be now"

Thanks for listening!

It sounds like Men at Work would do.

Excellent work! Thanks for sharing!

I like this song very much, and I, too, hear the Men At Work in your voice.  Even pop music can have its rules broken from time to time, so I say you did an excellent job.

Cool tune and arrangement.  I would bring the vocals more upfront.  I was not wild about the guitar solo or the tone, I didn't think it fit the otherwise nice vibe.

Alchemy's website seems to be infected with malware. I think you did an amazing job with this.
