I am not sure we JPF peeps are used to hearing something so polished and "radio ready." And since it is geared towards the youth, it would rarely be anyone's "cup o tea" on THIS site. That being said (and keeping my personal tastes at bay) this song is one or two tweaks away from being an undeniable "hit" in many, many musical circles today.

Over half of todays top 50 pop hits have this signature.

Get this out there, find the right people and enjoy the ride.....I'll say what we here are not likely to say, and it's a first for me......You have a hit song, Greg.....NOW PROMOTE IT!

Good luck and great job!!!

Yeah I thought some were harsher than mine actually. Saying things like "This is the kind of song that makes me bang my head against the wall", is not a critique, alot of people like banging their head against the wall.

I think all did give their opinions, but more generic opinions.

If you ask a songwriter for an opinion, the basic elements of songwriting are going to play into it, if you ask a teenager, they are going to listen and either like it or not, maybe thats how it should be, but songwriters talk about songwriting.

Some songs like this are more like making a product, all songs are products, but some more than others
