No need to worry M. Thought I'd throw this in before it goes South.

You have a real Tom Petty feel to this tune. So much in fact that I would be concerned with the last 3 lines in your chorus. They are dead on in cadence and melody to a Petty song. I don't know if that is ok or not.

Hmm, yeah, I knew it was real similar .... I don't know what song it was so I kinda left it in there. If you know which TPaTH tune that was, let me know please.
I do think it needs a bridge. Hmmm, first verse forced? Can you expound? Although, the "melted like ice" is kind of a twister....
well, all in all, work to be done!
Re: Pettyness.....
For sure, I'm a Petty listener. I listen to Petty now as I listened to Dylan 35 years ago. Learning the nuances in his melodies.
I'm dead set in using the "semi-pop" jangle tones of the HeartBreakers. But what is really great to watch and listen to is how Petty crafts his words and melodies.
This process of Petty-ness is being asimilated into my own style as I learn his tricks of the trade. Into the Great Collective, so to speak.
Thanks M
