Hi, Barry. Excellent and precise review of "If the World Ends." Like you, I'll admit to personal picky preferences and yours are definitely valid...and you give examples which is a plus. I really like such ideas as "shoreline shrinks." I would have liked to have met you before completing the song, though songs do grow with time. A story I remember: Gerry Beckley's original lyric in "Sister Golden Hair" was, "Will you meet me in Virginia, Will you meet me when I'm there." When Jackson Browne sang it with him, Brown changed it to, "Will you meet me in the middle, Will you meet me in the air." Gerry liked it. Anyway, kudos to your excellent songwriting and mindful reviews! John

I like that example... "meet me in the middle" could be anyone's "Virginia" and thus a more universal song... Keep creating!!
