Broadjam Artist: Highsmyth
Song: The Game
Reviewer: John Walradt
Positive Comments: You’ve written a lovely haunting, atmospheric melody, in the spirit of the Cocteau Twins, or the 4AD label, and your frail slight airy vocals are very lovely. The uniqueness of your style is what works best in this song. It’s not the usual everyday pop song. I really enjoy this. Choice of instruments is great. This is a song I could listen to several times and not tire of it.
Constructive Comments: The lyrics are wonderfully painful and resigned. I think they could be made more descriptive which would add more punch to the song. Keep the analogy of being a pawn in a game but add some analogies like being kicked around like sand on a beach, discarded like fallen leaves. Or perhaps keeping with a game of chess: I try to move into an acceptable square, you smirk and change the rules with relish, I’ll never win.
