Positive Comments: This is one of the most creative and original songs I have reviewed. I thought the lyrics were quite amusing and the vocal affect worked really well, sounding like a drunk guy in a bar. Toward the end I started feeling a loneliness emanating from the singer, which I did not expect. I figured it was a tongue in cheek type of song but I think it has overtones of deeper emotional hurt. I particularly liked the evolving instrumentation that kept the song interesting. There was a scratchy sort of instrument, more in the first half of the piece, which I could not figure out what it was. It added to the uniqueness and oddness of the song, so although not pleasing to the ear, it was great!
Constructive Comments: I marked it down on “market value of song” because I can’t imagine a movie scene or commercial that the song may fit. Not many anyway. I’m sure the songwriter was not going for that sort of thing in the song. I still am not totally clear if the song was meant to be funny or really a sad, kind of lonely song. Maybe that was by design, I am no sure. Keep up the songs! This one is truly memorable-that’s for sure. I like that. Too many songs just sound like all the rest.
