Kay-lynn,

Well it looks like a top 200 poster came out of hibernation? Hey, I think your song is clever and has a great melody! I'd keep it leaning toward country, and production can easily keep it there. Your vocals lend towards country IMO as well.

I think you have a lot of potential with the song, but that you certainly could make some tweaks to improve upon it. I was looking at 2nd vs and thinking maybe not having both lines end in "her"--should be an easy lyric tweak. I would also recommend lengthening the bridge exclamation line by doubling it (adding one new line) and then keeping the last resolving line.

Ex: Somewhere over the rainbow, da-da, da-da-da-dah
Somewhere there's a da-da-da,
Yes and I know its there

IMO, you will then allow this exclamatory section have more power and identity--which is important since its not a chorus driven song.

I love your vocal tone. I know you have a raw recording here, but with some really good music tracks and your sweet vocals, this could be a very good song. I'd look to polish a few lyrics perhaps, but your foundation melody is very sound and solid.

Enjoyed your song!
