And I give the writer\/singer total credit for belting it out there.  It would be easy for this one to get too sleepy but the vocal keeps you there for the duration.  I like the piano sound and the chord progression, especially at the intro.  Reminds me a bit of late 70s radio tunes like Paul McCartney and Wings.  Keep it up!<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>On the negative side, the vocal processing is less than optimum in that it sounds either a little too dry, or just a bit too far in the front of the mix.  Drums \/ Drum Machine is stiff, which is not uncommon on demo songs, but if this is the final mix, I think I would have tried to employ an actual drummer.  When the first drum beats happen it is quickly obvious it is a drum machine and as a drummer who uses drum machines occasionally I don&#8217;t want to be able to HEAR that it&#8217;s a drum machine or loops.  But I&#8217;m a fan so keep after it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Jay GrossSong: The Candle is Out!Reviewer: Paul Pierce ProjectPositive Comments: I totally like the orchestration and instrumentation chosen!
