I just got a song returned. This seemed simple - it was background source music...

He 'dug the vibe' but was picky about the lyrics of a simple blues/rock song for background source music? I'm not even upset - this is just absurd . It's a killjoy - a buzzkill - not to mention ridiculous. Well maybe I am a bit warm under the collar. This critique is definitely NOT consistent with trying to be "on target" for a Taxi listing. The lyrics, though not Dylanesque, were more than adequate for this style of background source music. Am I missing something here?
Here's my song, "Anywayz" - https://soundcloud.com/scottfree4all/anywayz
