Hi all,

Working on a new song idea.  Wrote the 1st verse and chorus.  Before I continue, feedback is most welcome on what I have.  Also feedback on if I should add a solo or leave the mid part as an instrumental break.

Thanks in advance and rock on!

FALLING SKY
(Words by Jonathan Linton, Music by Jonathan Linton)

Tonnes of steel
Hid in a hole
Mankind
Out of control
14,000
Ways to die
Button pressed
And blown sky high

Dodged bullets of extinction
Now you’re obsessed with

Jurisdiction
Your conviction
Nationize
Human demise

You keep the scouring
Miss the warning
Only realize
When the sky is
Falling!
When the sky is
Falling!
Falling!

Hi John,

song is sounding great, its right up my street, nice tone on the guitar, those Harley Bentons are great value, I don't know how they do it for the price, as for the mid section, its crying out for a solo, plus some nice licks in the end section, it would really drive the song along to the end.

Cheers, Mikey

Hi,
Loving what you are doing with this song right now.
When you hit the chorus early on you say the sky is falling and you go high vocally which is great but i would save that little gem for the end of the chorus cos it would finish it off on a high note so too speak giving more resolution for the listener.imo
Great vocal and music structure!

Johnny :)
