I think I remember this song in an earlier stage. Very good! well crafted and nice demo.
Easily a hit especially if the artist is already established. If not it will still be close.
I can't stand that we have to kill ourselves everytime out and they don't.
But once you're in that position you have other priorities as well i guess..

Your a good writer and I hope you can break through soon smile

Hey Mike

("The Don" - haha)

Unlike you (and so many other multi-talented members here) , I'm one of those "lyricist only" guy that has to be creative enough to make good use of the "means" available to try and compete , and while it's a disadvantage in so many ways -- it can also be a motivating plus as well - in terms of "lyric focus" .

I was once just a lyricist who did nothing but write boxes of lyrics .... because people kept telling me I hadn't written a "hit" song worthy of demo cost . Once I made up my mind to ignore that advise and demoed a few , I then realized the value of meter and flow .... and my writing perspective totally changed -- making my lyrics more musician and singer friendly as a result of what I learned by demoing my own work .

They call it "spending money" for a reason -- and I still spend less per year on my music than my son does playing golf . He won't be a tour pro - I won't likely be a hit writer either .... but we both enjoy our hobby as a result of competing more seriously .

Looking at it from a Nascar point of view ----- I may be too old to finish this race (haha) , but as long as my lap-times are getting better , I'm doing all I can !!


Appreciate the listen, and the words of encouragement .

I can't even get into my own pants.
