Broadjam Artist: Jay Gross
Song: Young Lover
Reviewer: Kate Carpenter
Positive Comments: Beautiful melody, beautifully and passionately sung. Here is a song about a young lover the setting is the beach. Nice piano instrumentation, dramatically presented. Nice background vocals. Well-placed key change.
Constructive Comments: The accent in “ecstasy” is supposed to be on the first syllable. You place it on the third, which is a bit awkward. Sorry to be a stickler about spelling, but innocence (not innocents). I can’t help but think there is something missing here relationally. The way the song comes across (at least to me) is this older guy seeing this teenager on the beach. Then all of a sudden they are having this “lovers’ encounter”. Where did the innocence go if she’s acting like woman of the world? I’m probably taking it wrong but it kind of gave me the creeps. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
