Definitely a nice little tune, great melodies, rhythms, hooks. I heard a funny bass guitar note in the early part of the verse, sounded off or dissonant.You definitely need to get a female to sing this, though, if that's the ultimate intention of the song, so that you can tell if the range of the vocals are right. And if you have to transpose the song, does it still sound right in the guitars. Hope this helps! -Jeff

Hi Scott,This one's got some very good potential.There are some small lyrical refinements I think you could make - i.e. in the chorus, "guy" might be a more universal word to use instead of "man" IMO. Also, instead of "I want me to feel", maybe "I just want to feel" which is more conversational?Also, maybe ending the chorus on a different chord under "much' might be more interesting.Good work though mate, I look forward to hearing it develop.

Thanks for the listen and the feedback Jeff and tt - some good ideas to ponder. Much appreciated!Cheers,Scott

Hey man, I liked it a lot, Love the harmonies in the chorus. I can definitely see Pink singing this song. Nice guitar solo too, awesome.If I may ask... How'd you record the drums?Nice job!

Scott: I liked all of it. Sort of a "you don't know what you got 'til it's gone" attitude. A universal theme that should find appeal. Would love to hear a female singer on it.Ott
