@MichaelA - A great pop song Michael, hooky as hell, liked the BV's nice and tight, and perfectly placed.

Must have been quite a bit of work.

Production is spot on too.

Great show!!
almost, well is it really PC?
It's either this or that, then again it might be the other. 

I can promise you a future of slow decline.

I don't have anything to add, but I wanted you to know I listened and enjoyed!

@MichaelA

Michael, you have a really interesting voice.  Unmistakeable from the first notes that you sing.  You also have a prominent voice in that your lyrics invite the listener to engage and consider what you are singing. 

Some are waiting for a big chorus.  This one doesn't fit the bill in that respect. However, I don't subscribe to strict song structures. And enjoy songs that have their own agenda. This one meanders across the landscape, twisting and turning in it's own very unique way.

Well done

Paul

Thanks to everyone who commented on the track. I'm going to tweak it at some point, specifically making the real guitar sound less synthy, due to its chorus, phase and virtual amp settings. I thought I'd already done some individual replies last week, but must have experienced an internet blip when I pressed send. But thanks anyway, I am most encouraged by your comments, one and all.

Michael

This is seriously outstanding work Michael - I am lost for words, so much fun! Musically, it's that happy bouncy jangly Smiths thing going on with Morrissey's doom laden lyrics.

Thank you for cheering me up, you naughty, naughty boy  ;D ;D ;D ;D I am in awe mate!!

Funny,clever and so brilliantly subversive. You realise that you will never shake off "Hip Hop Grandad" don't you? A bit like how Bowie never really shook off "The Laughing Gnome" but in your case a better song is guilty. As for this one, well it just illustrate what a great songwriter you are and what a great, cool attitude and vibe your writing gives off. They say that great authors have a "voice" which defines how they use language and I think you have that as a songwriter.

Thanks @Bill Saunders, that’s really encouraging feedback. I have always been partial to a bit of jangly guitar, which I suppose is not especially in fashion these days. But when it makes a comeback I will definitely be there!  :D

Hi @montydog, yeah I know Grandad will always be looking over my shoulder! Actually it took quite a bit of effort to come up with any kind of song after doing that one, so I am much relieved to have chalked one up on the board! Anyhow, thanks for the kind words and support, much appreciated.
