Yo Butcher,how's the meat hanging?
Long time no post,hope you are well.
The first time I listened to your song it kinda washed over me in a pleasant manner,but there was enough to bring me back for another listen. That's when it hit me,this is great stuff,but it's not immediate,it's a grower and that may hurt you in a competition where the judges are usually looking for instant gratification. Their loss.
I love the languid vocal delivery,love the piano,love the slide when it kicks in. The song is communicated with great feel and emotion,yet in an effortless and faux indifferent style.
Good luck in the comp,but I'd be proud to have nailed this song together regardless of what the judges think.
edit...not sure if I voted correctly or not due to the lingo barrier!
