But my gut reaction to it was from a kid's perspective...thinking (or wishing) that all the nighttime fireworks they were having to live through were ACTUALLY shooting stars (rather that missles being fired over their heads). Heavy-duty, no doubt. But I LOVE songs that shake things up....Hope you pursue that one. And that you post the demoes of the other ones.Ted

hi there--don't know if you've listened to the tune or just the lyrics for Way, but actually i thought of not necessarily amending the song, but the way the lyrics read on the actual sheet-- because "way" as the song progresses is actually (as i tried to write it anyway , a sub-chorus. when the vox blasts "way, way, way, etc" that's what is happening.but still a keen observation on your part. thanks, you get it.the best to you, i'm on this thread on and off (need to write more in the next few weeks) so need to got back and see who else has posted tunes, don't remember many.heinsite out
