Default Re: HAD TO SHARE before the Inauguration!

Thanks, Jeffrey:

Very nice to wake up to some new and enthusiastic music.

As always, I like your drum lines very much.

At bar 53, you felt the need to add an extra lyric tag to finish off the second chorus. My thought is that at bar 28, it would be good to add a similar lyric tag to finish off the first chorus. As it is, the chorus feels incomplete. Not the same tag, but perhaps it could be a progressive thing that changes each time you reach that spot.

Lyrically, I hope we're not in the absolutely dire straits you're speaking to, but the world sure is at a tough point. Your song reminds me, in theme and attitude, of the World War II song "You'll Get Used To It" by Freddie Grant, where the chorus goes "You'll get used to it. The first year is the worst year, then you'll get used to it."

And, as I look out my window at 25 centimetres (10 inches) of fresh snow, it's nice to have some island rhythms to start the day, before I start shovelling.

All the best,
David
