Jimi,
Thanks for reading and writing.
Yes, that’s close to the point of last week’s post, but not exactly the same. I appreciate that you expanded and extended the thought.
Best wishes,
Tony

One favorite I like to use when I give workshops is the Beatle’s “Ticket to ride” Fun poppy mindless fun.
But she Karen Carpenter did a cover, her’s was downtempo a bit, & fit the emotion of the lyric FAR better IMHO.
So though you may think you’re writing a country song, take a serious look at the way it lays, Maybe it’s happier that you thought & should be reggae. Maybe it’s darker & angrier that you originally intended & should be metal.
A 3rd party helps a lot, especially an experienced producer.
A quick look from a different perspective may show you the song is perfect…just not for the genre you intended!
