I read the lyric and it's interesting and vague in a good way, the Dylan way. The music creates a nice bed for sure, and your vocals are in the pocket enough.

And yet all the parts aren't adding up to a satisfying experience for me. To me, it drags. Maybe consider adding more guitar fills in between the vocal parts, like Carlos Alomar on Bowie albums. And maybe the tempo could be a tad faster? Just spitballin'...

What Bowie song to cover?

"Loving the Alien" might be interesting for you. as it's lyrically your style, vocally as well, and is Bowie waxing on about religious war, but vague enough that you can't pinpoint his intention, but the consensus is that it deals with religious problems, terrorists, etc., and how people can justify doing terrible things in the name of religion.




But maybe you should just have fun and cover "Rebel Rebel" cuz it's great guitar licks and vocal hooks.





Carry on,

Mike
