Creatively presented, the lyrics definitely are an interesting element in this high energy song.  There&#8217;s a very cool understated instrumental interlude that really sounds great around the 2:00 mark.  I think I also heard some sirens in the background.  Someone was having fun with the effects.  Nice job, guys. I like the elevator metaphor.<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>I would definitely recommend shortening the song.  A .30 second intro is a bit long.  The ending was kind of abrupt.  Seemed out of place and naked after all the great beefed up stuff you did in the song.  From a philosophical standpoint, it&#8217;s problematic (to me) to say that everything is all right when it&#8217;s really not.  If we walk away from our problems or continually blow them off, they will return to haunt us till we deal with them.  Jesus helped me with this.Anyway, I do like your song!
