Couch,
Bingo!
Loved it--top notch. This is a great example song for "newbies" wanting to improve their songwriting that demonstrates well crafted yet simple lyrics for listener relating, strong melodic chorus hook, descriptive verses that create a story/picture, fabulous transitional melody bridge digression for change-up, and nice touch with the uplifting music for outro tag.
I would say this even without the professional production--the professional production and performance are icing on the cake.

Thanks, Eddie. This has always been a favorite of mine. It's one of the best tunes I've ever been involved with. Al did a great job as always. In fact, I think he did the demo in one night. I woke up and the mp3 was in my email.
He's an absolute pro.
