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!!!

I've taken into account everyone's thoughts/opinions and I'll be mindful of what I post in the future, if I post anything else at all. In a room full of songwriters, it is our nature to nit pick everything in stuff we hear, because we all have our own interpretations of what we would have done to make that song better, in our perspectives.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. It's part of human nature. I also take into mind that preferences are what they are and a clown would definitely stand out like a sore thumb at a super bowl party. A cheerleader might fit right in, but clown's belong at the circus, unless you're a Stephen King creation, at which point, my advice to anyone faced with that clown would be to, RUN!!!! lol

I don't begrudge anyone's opinions and if it's taught me one thing, it's to be more open minded and more receptive to criticism, good or bad. That being said, thank you for your compliments. :-) I think you're right. With a couple tweaks here and there, the song should be pitch ready. The producer of the song hit me up this morning and let me know he's working on a new mix and that his team is feeling the song and ready to send over some of their contacts. So, we shall see how things go.

Maybe the right people will like it and pick it up. Maybe the right people will hear it and pass on it. Either scenario is possible, but all it takes is one yes before a song has the chance to hit the charts and top it.

It's just one song. Time to go right many more!
