Lyrics are well written with some metaphors: the story of running from a destructive relationship but said in a different way. Vocals are engaging, gravely yet with some pitches that sound like something Elton John would do, as in &#8220;it&#8217;s all over now.&#8221; The song is well arranged, starts minimally, adds drums, then builds to a climax, then is peaceful at the end.<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>90 percent of any song is the base of words and music and you&#8217;ve got that down. The rest is personal preferences, so here&#8217;s mine: all I can think of is experimenting with a different sound at around 13 to 15 seconds which, to me, seems not to blend in with the song. I would try it with just the orchestration, perhaps a light tolling of clock bells, or a trembling violin, perhaps make it blend into the body of the song instead of suddenly or it may come back to the sound you already have. But you&#8217;re the ultimate one who can decide what works best. It&#8217;s a very well done song.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Fred KimmelSong: The Clock Burned DownReviewer: John WalradtPositive Comments: The melody is very good: easy to follow, has a melancholy haunting mood that is pleasing and interesting.
