Broadjam Artist: Sam Cooper
Song: FORGIVENESS
Reviewer: Kate Carpenter
Positive Comments: To write a good country song, you need a bit of humor, a believable story and a good metaphor. This song has all three! The songwriter pairs women and fishing. I’m sure the fish don’t mind, but the women? Well? The old adage, “It’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission” is a great chorus lyric. I love the way he opens up with the bass fishing hole and goes on to relationships. The fishing license and the marriage license are a clever tie-in. This is a piece of excellent lyric writing. Made me smile!
Constructive Comments: The vocal (sorry to be critical) seemed a bit off to me. Could be it’s just your style and way of singing. So please forgive me if that’s so. There also seemed to be some timing issues. But all in all, I am convinced that this is an excellent song.
