Maybe a little more mainstream using more common chord progressions. I find it challenging to complete the music lyrics and production in one week. I always find things that could be done better to make the song more listenable. The ending and harmonics need a little work. As always, I needed help from my friend Billy.

I love this the chords fit so well remind me of some Clapton guitar! Great vocals

Being redundant, great voice. The melody and the echos and harmonies fit really well. I can totally identify with the lyrics. When you noted 'more traditional chord progressions' I was thinking more along the lines of, well, "Gloria"... lol. These are great chord progressions. There are a LOT of incredible songs that use 1,4,5 or less. The bass line does a great job of keeping the song rolling along too. A thought on the harmonics. If not using a track to do them separately, this might help? Also, every song I've recorded (a cover or otherwise) will highlight things I think could've been done better each time I listen to it. I, personally, don't think they are ever 'finished'. Great song!

cool one! as you say, feels mainstream-friendly!

it's hard to write a good complete song. I think this practice makes us better at finishing things faster. we wouldn't get there if everything had to be perfect every time.

maybe as a constructive criticism: I like the verse and chorus parts but they repeat a bit too many times without a bridge of some sort. it could give some more energy and help focus back on the final verse when it comes back around. it doesn't have to be fancy, just a bit different from the verse/chorus. it's a lot of work tho, u decide if it will pay off. it's something I learned to look for from various places but one of which was the Sting / Rick Beato interview on youtube. cheers for another good week!

Thank you and great comment. As I get practice I start to feel it more, maybe something missing and it helps for someone else to point it out. I appreciate.
