Song: BACK TO THE CIRCUS!
Reviewer: Kate Carpenter
Positive Comments: Slow and easy blues song about going back to the circus. The lyrics are clever and easy to understand. Almost predictable…just enough to make it fun. I really like the way the writer stuck to his theme and didn’t “fly off” in another direction.The word pictures were great and I wouldn’t change a thing about the lyrics. Very original! Super fun to listen to. It’s rather comical and ironic that a circus song would be so slow, but it’s a great composition. LOVE THIS!
Constructive Comments: Wow, too long to be commercial, I’m afraid. To remedy this, cut the repetitive verses and shorten the instrumental sections. Have you ever been a part of a circus? Just curious. I always wonder if a songwriter is writing about personal experience or making the whole thing up. In this case, I am guessing the latter. Let me know if I’m wrong.
