Broadjam Artist: Craig Bishop
Song: Heaven
Reviewer: John Walradt
Positive Comments: This has the Marty Balin appeal. The melody is original and easy to follow…very good, not knock-out great. But that’s not bad…you can’t argue if people like it and I’m not by any means the last word. I’d try it out as a single. I like how it builds up like a power ballad. That works really well! Arrangements, studio work, all one heck of a lot better than I’m capable of (I write them, I don’t perform them), and well placed electric guitar and strings.
Constructive Comments: Lyrically, it takes a common theme but doesn’t present it in a new way. Not to fret about it…how many hits out there sound like carbon copies of each other with their cliches? I have annoyed myself by doing the same thing. But you’re a step ahead by being able to craft a good tune and you have a good ear for arrangement.
