Song: Just The Way They Are
Reviewer: Kate Carpenter
Positive Comments: This song drew me in from the very beginning. Starts of with a conversation with a friend whose “ship hasn’t come in” and from that point paints a beautiful picture of a contented heart. I really love this song! My favorite lyric was the one about not climbing the corporate ladder but I can pay my bills. Reminds me of the scripture “Give me neither poverty nor riches”…somewhere right in the middle. I also liked the part about the “woman who believes in me even when I don’t have a plan” (good choice for rhyming with man). There’s not a thing I would change about this amazing chorus. A great song teaches a lesson and this one should be sung and heard a lot. I can’t say enough good things about it. Fantastic job, and I definitely want to hear more of your work.
Constructive Comments: Okay, so where’s the bridge? and a killer verse 3? Even though I absolutely love this song, I feel like it needs something more…at least to make it in the commercial country market. I’m a fan! Mrs. KateOh…and I would love to hear a fiddle in there…
