Hi Kathy

First off I love that thin sound... it's like it's all coming through an old AM Radio
Then you have the little announcent "sustudio rock contest" at the top made me smile...:)

Your phrasing meter for the chorus were VERY good

I felt it right away... later on the "let me" let yous" lets me" got to be a tad too much it would need to be broken up.

Now here's a funny story.. when i was writing my song "Closer" ya know the one in the movie. I fisrt was singing

Your all I want
your all I need
To be closer to me

Then I was telling ,my friend "Ya know I have to get away from using I want, I need
as it is so over used and typical" we had a big discussion on it.
Then of course I turn on the TV and there's a band singing All I Want All I Need smile

But is a great way to start oot with that simple meter in the chorus, that's why so many ROCK bands use it. It sldes right by you melody wise.

Kathy what you do have here is a good chorus foundation. I believe you just tied
3 others for first place as of now...

Also what you do have here that I absolutley LOVE is the title.
"Down Easy"

If you could work that thought into your chorus more, that would be killer.
Whats so darn hard is we have such a little space to get the point across unlike other styles of songs were you have forever to tell a story. This as to be short, effective,unique or slightly unique smile and CATCHY!!!

I may change your name to Catchy Kathy.

Also if it's cool with you, as of this point personally I want to use your title idea.

And you know what in modern rock songs sometimes the title is not even mentioned in the song lol... but I think this one can be.

*To the others try to keep coming up with our own ideas.. in other words don't work off each others drafts, We will do that in another post interactive type thing later.


Kathy Thankyou!!!


Thanks!
Peace Mike
