Kyle,

Nice current sound and structure here. I was digging this--I think this is my fav of yours and here's why.

First of all the melody grabbed me quickly, and was interesting as it took me on a little music ride. When this happens, and probably because I see myself as a music guy first, I just enjoy the ride. When I listen again, I'll start listening to the lyrics more closely. This is the key to good songwriting--composing melody--which captures the spirit of the listener--it's why they listen!

I'm too tired to delve into the lyrics, as I just had a long PM with someone.....but nice job here, nice start.

I have some advice here for you, since you are youthful with perhaps a chance to go to the "party." Yes you are sounding a little like Jason Mraz as Tom mentioned, also I'm hearing Phillip Phillips influence a bit. What I heard today that seemed a little different with your vocal--was a hint of Dylan. I think a good exercise for you would be take this song at home and sing it in your "best" Bob Dylan impression. Then maybe your best P. Phillips impression, or maybe someone else who's voice that would be cool with this song. Do this a few times with each, then come back and just try and be "YOU." This is a process to in the finished product, not to be Dylan or Mraz, but be you with subtle influences of each that then give YOU a unique style of your own. Then if you get lucky someday, someone may and try and imitate you!

Nice song for today's youth here.
