Marc,

We're actually finding your critique very affirming. First, it was well thought out and supported its contentions. But there's that particular running theme which seems to underscore your message: our song is depressing.

Exactly.

We never set out to mimic the latest trend in Nashville. We set out, and judging from your critique, may have come pretty close to achieving crafting a very sad song.

If it never gets airplay in the next five years because it's not falling lockstep into a trend, a trend which like many, will eventually change (it changed once before as you pointed out), it seems we have no less achieved our original intent. And, like thin ties (60s) replaced by wide ties (70s) which were replaced by thin ties (80s), which were once again replaced by wider ties (90s-00s), it's likely the pendulum will swing again. And when it swings toward the sad and lonely, we aim to step up to the plate.
