John Lampson - it's not really "my bag", but I like it. It's got drive, a strong melody, a confident delivery ... I'm not sure about the lyric at all - it kind of goes off into all kinds of areas that don't make sense.. your childhood sweetheart gets called a battleaxe? Did you date a cougar? No, actually, the lyric ruins this for me. It's not witty or smart enough to justify wasting my listening time. Frankly I like her more than you. Goodbye and *skip*. Sorry.
Although it seemed like you may have been asking a rhetoricalquestion.org, about 30 seconds further into the song you may have noticed what I feel is a strong reveal that this song is actually about my guitar. I did not date a cougar. Thank you for listening to what you did and providing your thoughts!
John

Serious way to start. Very pop. I like the vocal effects and the music, but the snaps a little distracting. Reminds me a bit of Jed Whedon And The Willing. I like how the intensity builds through the first 1:30. I kind of wish it was a straight build from the very start, without the softer interlude. I really like that bass synth sound, whatever that is. You kind of alternate between two textures, one which is that bass plus the piano, and then one which doesn't have a lot of low end to it. I really like the bass texture a lot more than the other one, especially when you have multiple voices going, like around 3:20. Heartfelt and fun to listen to. I wish it was more tightly edited, as some parts in the middle meander a bit. Overall, though, I think it's my favorite texture in this fight. Very memorable.
Thanks! I've been in a few fights before (different band/monikers), if that's what you mean by "way to start," but it's been a while, so thanks anyhow! Funny thing about Jed Whedon and myself - we've both been dishwashers at the same funkyquaint Italian restaurant here in Eugene, Oregon. Prolly about a decade apart, but I remember meeting him when I was little... my father was a chef for 20 years at that joint. But, thanks again for that, I enjoy Jed's music... mostly the Dr. Horrible stuff but also some of The Southland.

Really really nice work. Wow - lots of hooks. "and it awwwlll fades away" excellent. Nice open spaces. Your use of side instrumentation at various times is good for attracting a distracted listener. I'm not one of them, it hold my interest. This is by far your best work yet. Super duper my friend, super.*
Wow, thank you. It's so nice to feel like someone is paying attention not just to a single song, but to your whole progression as a songwriter. So glad you liked it & thanks for the shot in the arm.

Conrats, Dee! Who'd of thought that a little tiny woman and her piano could rise above a sea of drums, guitars and hairy men to win such an event?

I don't think I've been called tiny in quite some time, so this is a winning day for me
Thanks for your help at the finish of this, Chris. Now I definitely wanna shape out this tune.

No prob. Just fling a simple quarter in my tin cup for ever 4 you earn. I'm nothing more than a humble man in love with the arts.
