Broadjam Artist: Steve Dafoe – Songwriter
Song: Stay, It’ll Be Alright (Alternative Pop)
Reviewer: John Walradt
Positive Comments: Remember those jingle jangle chords and sprightly melodies from Lobo? Well, now we’ve got one with this song. It doesn’t stop there, the vocals have excellent inflections. The tune goes up and down the scale which makes it easy to listen and sing to. Nicely done.
Constructive Comments: You’ve got the tune and that’s a bigger hurdle for most songwriters. Since you have that, it’s an automatic 4s and 5s! Now onto a personal bias…lyrically, it uses a lot of phrases that sound like cliches. The stay, stay, stays, work out just fine. It’s a nice, fun intro. After that, you might experiment with some more descriptive imagery, different ways of saying those lines. Example…well, “Fighting in the night, we lost that loving light…” Words don’t always come easily to me because I’m a melody person but I try to give it a go, such as my writing is!
