Vocally, well.. ..I think a better singer would really do this justice. Your voice isn't bad, but I'm not convinced when you are "telling" the story. A more accomplished singer could really nail this and put the emotion needed behind it. Believe me I'm no singer, so I have no room to talk, but I wouldn't mind hearing this story sung by a seasoned vocalist, and of course with better drums.Cool ideas here man. I love storytelling in songs.The chorus has some catchy qualities, I think you need just a little bit of a stronger hook though. I have to say, the more I listen, the music doesn't seem to fit the mood of the story. That could just be me, but I could hear this being slightly dissonant whilst still keeping the upbeat chorus.Thanks for sharing!Thanks, Stephen,I, too am a sucker for songs that tell stories. Most of mine do. The hook is what it is, and kind of minimalist, I guess.Boogie is a simple man and it is a simple hook.The chord progression is written at the top. Play it on your acoustic guitar and I think you'll find the dissonance you are looking for. The swing from Em to G back and fourth behind the melody.Maybe not, but I'm not going to change it at this point.WigGosh, I hope this wasn't autobiographical! Wig
