The beginning had a very Beatles-esque feel to it (very cool!)

- The intro and the breaks need a little lead guitar part over it to spice things up- something bluesy.

I really like this whole song- a little touch here and there to spice it up, and BAM! (as Emeril would say)

Life- live it.

It's a good song, like what you've done with it Kenny, like the way it builds up as well, I heard a nice bit of guitar in the background which I think came in about halfway through and underpinned the song really well, great job

Yes to all of those X4!!! I think those lyrics are excellent and vocals were very good too. I agree with the very astute CShude who always seems to have very helpful advice for the musicians here, for me the 'little touch' would be to alternate the sound of each line in the verses. Currently you're singing 4 lines in exactly the same way, I think you could change the sound of the second and fouth lines and break up the verse, that would also tend to make your lyrics clearer too.
Hope that's helpful for you.

John

Great job X4. Like cshude said, maybe later you could revisit and break it up a bit with some lead lines. Well put together too.

Wow Kenny, that was really good! I think this is your best one yet!
Your hard work is bearing fruit! Your vocals and picking have really improved!


Music is a universal language!
