Mark, your song sounds pretty polished to me, I don't have any nits! What genre are you going for? I hear some alt country or contemporary country, but I think it will work cross-genre'd, if that is a word.

Hi Mark--

Great track. I really like the way your voice fits into the song. Nice. I hear it as more pop than country.

Good luck!

Len--

cross-genre'd ? I like it.

DUDE!

Awesome song!
I could totally hear that being done in a full blown Nashville way for a huge star or even a duo!
I think you have a new Christmas hit! You gotta shop that puppy for sure!
Not that I don't love your voice, cause I do - I think you fit this song perfectly!

Also -
Your vitamin jingle kicked butt!

Keep rockin' brother!
Nick

Mark! Hot track, and classic songwriting. Great lead and BG vocals, for sure. Kind of a modern update of what the Beach Boys did on their Christmas material. Fun and happy sounds!

No nits on this one --- You're very talented, and connections at USC at the film department may be the ticket.

Cheers!

Thanks everyone! I got this tune out to several listings so i'm hoping it makes the cut for at least one!

@jmorrison: Thanks so much! Definitely would love to do that, but really am unsure how besides through TAXI listings :-/

Wow, this sounds really fresh and contemporary! Really nice writing, performances and production. EVERYthing is there! I can def. hear this to the end credits in a movie or for several scenes. I'd say the genre is Indie Rock, but who cares when the stuff is this good!

If I have to take the crit glasses on, there was a minor spot, the last half of the bridge where the lyrics and your vocals wasn't quite up to par with the rest of the track. I suspect you've done some rewriting and rerecording right there. Lost just an inch of energy, but it's very minor. Hardly noticeable for most, I'd think.

I predict this will be a highly sought after track, so make sure to get a good deal for it!

Congrats to you both!
