Very Timely!!!

Well said

Well done all around. I felt there could have been a little more lift in the chorus, or at least a little more change melodically. The separation between chorus and verse is not that distinct. That said, strong lyrics and great demo !

I love the lyric and the concept of this song. It is timely and needed. "Down in the slums of Washington" is a great line. "Integrity checked out" as well. Very good lyric. If I was producing, I would lose the vibrato on the lead vocal. Although it's not much, but at times it feels "around the note" and note on it. Especially in the opening line. I thought this was very weak. Also felt the melody, nor the arrangement is up to the quality of the lyric. If it was my song and I chose to keep the vocal and progression together, I would experiment with speeding it up to 110 to 120 bpm and see what it sounds like. You might try putting it in a DAW and increasing tempo without changing the pitch to get a feel at a higher tempo. Right now, there is a strong lyric, but I don't think the production helps it. Greg, I hope you are doing well and hope this is constructive. Best, Roy

Great work (again) Greg. To explain some of the lower marks, which may not be valid to you, but honestly I have followed your writing for a long time now, and it is great. One problem I personally have on this one and some of your others, as great (and i MEAN THAT) as they are, your verse phrasing is very similar in many of the songs. Now they may say that about Jackson Browne and so many others that are in the hall of fame (LOL) but that is my opinion.
Now THIS SONG though has that minor "problem" to my ear, is wonderful musically and LYRICALLY too.
I love it.
All the best buddy, be proud.
