Mark,Very, very good. You are a talented guy.I'm with Steve on this one. Great tune, yet the bridge doesn't work for me.I think you have a better one in you. Something inventive and fun that cooks.Over all, production wise, my *personal* preference would be to make it feel even "tighter" and kick more...get that Shummp!, Shummp!, Shummp! thing going even more than you do. Perhaps even more of a march beat feel. A bit like Uptown Girl, you know? That's the feel I have in my head...but not exactly Uptown Girl.I am not sure how to do it, although others here with better skills than I could suggest things.Again, you impress me, sir.Glenn

It's most people's favorite part...but that has just about everything to do with John Lennon having already blown our minds with that very sound, that very harmony, that very word. Corey suggested I just hold that note, and that would work too...the song stands on it's own, so maybe that effect that I meant to be a "tip of the hat" is also somewhat of a crutch.But DAMN that clarion guitar sound would sound smokin' here! Time to plug an Epiphone Casino into a Vox AC-30 and let 'er rip! Might be a lucrative idea to go hog wild and "Revolver" it up to the nth degree, see how far you can take it; depends on your intended destination for the song, but it seems to me that Britpop and Beatles come up fairly regularly in the listings. If you get really lucky, maybe the surviving Beatles will sue you and make you famous!
