The sound and feel reminds me of Stoney Larue, and maybe even Cody Jinks. Even has a little bit of Townes Van Zandt in the lead vocal. Good melody, easy to predict, but not overly predictable. The arrangement I felt worked nicely as a vehicle for the story. You felt the loneliness and longing of the subject, and the absolutely universal feeling of &#8220;what if&#8221;, from the narrator. I think this one has great potential to be picked up and re-recorded by an act!<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>Constructively, this definitely felt like a demo. The recording was a little rough sonically. but I imagine thats the idea. It feels like a pitch song, and thats great. The lyrics and melody work well together, but the hook didn&#8217;t quite grab me. I had to go back and listen a couple of times to remember what it sounded like. The arrangement is nice, and feels good. But it gets a little bit monochromatic after awhile. I feel like this song could use a bit of a tempo boost. I love the somber tone, but it drags just a bit too much for my taste. I think a bit quicker tempo could help move the story a long a bit more. Take a listen to the song &#8220;Birds&#8221; by Cody Jinks. I think this song could have a feel very similar. Still feeling the somber. melancholy groove. But it drives a little as well. Overall, nice work. I would love to hear more of your songs. Hell, I&#8217;d like to PLAY one of your songs. Cheers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Michael CreganSong: HUngry and ColdReviewer: Drew HalePositive Comments: Really enjoyed the lyrics and the story of this song.
