Pleasing violin and guitar instrumentation kicks this song off.  It&#8217;s a sad story of a guy who is saying goodbye to a friend\/lover who has made choices that draw her away from him into a new chapter.  Unique use of light\/dark\/shadows imagery. The first verse is your strongest storytelling point.  Really like those lyrics &#8220;start in the middle or skip to the end.&#8221;  Very original thought.<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>I&#8217;m looking for a definitive story.  I&#8217;d like a clearer picture of who is this character you are singing about. Lover or friend?  It&#8217;s obviously someone you knew &#8220;back when&#8221; who has moved on.  The light to dark word picture is pretty clear.  This person is heading in a &#8220;dark&#8221; direction, away from you, finding her place in her new world.  So if it&#8217;s moving in the dark direction, how can that be in the place where &#8220;angels learn to fly&#8221;?  That seems like a more light-infused image and a positive place.  There is a lot of repetition in this song.  It&#8217;s a nice song, but I think it needs work.  Ending also needs to be more conclusive.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Jeff AshbakerSong: When The Shadow&#8217;s Just RightReviewer: Kate CarpenterPositive Comments: Interesting bass riff for the intro.
