Also, the structure of the chorus is a little unusual in that the lines preceding the chorus are where the title appears. This is rectified somewhat in the last chorus I think the chorus needs to be re-structured. And even though the guitar work was good, I think it&#8217;d be better to find a distinctive instrumental &#8216;hook&#8217; &#8211; something that the listener will connect with the song every time it&#8217;s played on the radio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Jeff AshbakerSong: The GiftReviewer: Pete PapageorgePositive Comments: The song was well recorded and produced.
