I like guitar strange chords in this track, I think that some sounds are very enjoyable in this track, while some of them

are just junk and makes no sense, backing vocals are not ideal for such kind of track. 6

25-34

Age:

09-Jul-2010 16:05

I thought this was a really good effort. YThe guitar began with a simple and gentle rythm but one that you knew wasbuilding something. The male vocals come in and sound really good, they suit the style and the delivery of the trackvery well. 8

09-Jul-2010 16:23

Nice country feel to that opening guitar play which i liked, it was played nice and laid back before it developed into awicked melody with a nice rhythm just as the smooth beat came in and the song got me nodding along. i loved howit built up and the music just felt good and enjoyable and i thought it oozed appeal. The singer was superb vocallyand the song was just right in every sense for me

Can't say that everyone will like his Bob Dylan inspired vocals, but I thought they were good enough. The songmight be considered acoustic, but the one minute acoustic guitar intro was excessive. Once he started singing allthose sweet and romantic lines, I didn't mind the wait. 7

This track seems to build well progressively over time, although it's very slow in pace and takes ages to really getgoing. Pleasant singing when it eventually comes in, though I think the words could all be a bit more exciting andcatchier overall. 6

Lovely sounding track. Vocals aren't crystal clear, but that doesn't matter as they blend to music wonderfully.Continuos simple percussion, adds a nice consistency to the track, letting the vocals and music vary, whilst still tyingeverything together in a fantastic parcel of a track! Unusual lyrics and style, and prolonged ending of the songunfortunately lower the rating for a general audience.

The music on this song chugs along at a decent pace and gets your foot tapping along. The music is nicely playedbut isn't remarkable, it is the vocals that lift this to a higher standard. The singing is full of talent and the lyrics evenfeature some nice unexpected touches which keeps you entertained 8

i thought that there was some good parts to this track such as the vocals on the track i thought that they had a greatsound and lent themselves well to the laidback feel of the track, i did think that it might have been better with a fewmore pace and tempo changes 6

This track has a good guitar introduction. The singer has a good clear voice and sings well. I think this song woulddo fair on a radio station but it might not be that popular. I think the lyrics are soothing I enjoy the country soundsthis music evokes. All round I think this artist has moderate chance based of this particular track. 6

Nice little guitar riff at the start, with a gentle drum beat complimenting the track nicely, wait patiently for the singeras the voice works. Lyrically the song isnt the greatest and there are some odd lyrics. A Nice track particularly likethe guitar tune 7

A good song, not my genre of music but it works well, i would recommend a little panning of the hi-hats and maybethe two different guitar solos as everything sounds in the middle, giving a bit more space will open up the song alittle more.

The vocals are very good a slightly bit too high maybe add a touch of Low on the EQ.

Overall a relaxing song, could imagine hearing this on the radio ona sunday afternoon.

The guitar; I like it. Not the best, but it's alright. The lyrics just doesn't fit in. It sounds like the singer is moaninginstead. Who are you trying to be? A drunk? Don't mind my harshness, and the beat isn't very catchy. But you get asecond chance in every life. 3

Intro a little too long, i was getting bored waiting. Quite a nice folky style track but at times the voice comes acrossas a little whiney. Lyrics started out a little dull and repetitve but this changed and became better as trackprogressed, but then fell back into repetition and went on too long, again becoming boring like the start. Could be apleasing summer track with some trimming and voice clarity.

A really dull drawn out intro to make the song last way too long. Cut out the gimmicks and try and get to the pointmuch earlier.

I found this bland and dull and not really that musical.

The combination of instruments is really good, except for the chorus. The chorus is okay, but confuses me abit, Ifeel like theres one instrument too much. The singer is good, but towards the end the melody starts to get a bit

boring, maybe shoud have been changed up a bit. I like the vocals towards the end though, but they could havebeen more effective if the melody was made more interesting, so it didnt sound like repetition.Overall, good song, wasnt bad.

This is a cute little acoustic track. It's one of those songs that gets you smiling along with it, even if you don't quiteknow why. It's not the kind of thing I'd often choose to listen to, but I would definitely recommend it to people whosemusic tastes veer in the direction of this kind of sound.

It's not a 'wow' kind of track, but it's definitely good, and listening to it makes me feel, well, peppy-much like the songitself.

I love the sound of the acoustic guitar, it sounds so authentic and natural. It is sometimes difficult to get your vocalsto match this sound, but they work well. Music wise, theres not alot to comment on because of its simplicity, but Ilike it. Everything about the song fits like a jigsaw, my only flaw is that its a little bit too long. Showcase, too close tojudge.

An engaging track without doubt. Nice vocals, catchy guitar riff, and very good execution. I'm usually a pretty criticalscout, but I don't have much to say against this, it certainly ticks all the boxes within the genre. Perhaps the endingdrags on a little too long, but otherwise a pretty impressive offering. 9

The 16th-note triplets create a driving rhythm, which is almost slightly in contrast to the overall theme of the song, itseems. I love the chord progression in this song. The vocalist has such a lovely voice. The use of harp in this songis quite creative; one doesn't much hear the harp in popular music. 7

Quite a catchy fresh song was impressed. Nice melodic guiar playing with some good use of harmonics the playingreminded me slightly of Newton Faulkner however the outro to the song is purely to bulk the track out and draggedon for well over a minute but definatly didnt leeyou under ay llusions to what the songs name is. Would love to heremore from them and think they could well be a group to look out for.

This song is such a feel good song, it makes you smile straight from the start. I love the actual lyrics, they're not theusual type of lyrics these days. You can imagine this being the song of summer of spring, or ever in the winter on achilly night. The vocals in this are perfect in my opinion, they're not too strong yet you can really feel what he'ssinging. The only thing I was not too keen on was the tamborine around the chorus, I felt it took over the song alittle, however it did give the song a bit of a punch per say. Over all, I'd happily listen to this song again, probablyeven buy it. It's not my favourite genre of music but really got me smiling and pulled into the lyrics of the song.
