Very pretty song.<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>I like the lyrics, but think that the meaning doesn&#8217;t come through clearly enough. I admire the writer&#8217;s poetic approach, some good images, but when I ask myself what is this song about, it&#8217;s not clear to me. I like what I think is the title, No Escape Today, and the singer includes himself in the &#8220;trap&#8221; (?) of having to live a human life and endure the ups and downs thereof, but, right now, there isn&#8217;t a story here to tell &#8211; just observations. I need a story to relate to emotionally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: David JamesSong: Crystal BallReviewer: Pete PapageorgePositive Comments: Really nice production.
