Scott:

I listened to this at work (where I listen to a lot of stuff but really can't write comments) a long time ago, and it has stayed with me, so I figured I would go find this thread and leave my comments.

First, I like the lyrics a lot...and you get bonus points for the fireworks having a bang up time. The melody is catchy. And the song builds nicely with the harmonies.

This is a good song and I think there may be a market for it. I can picture this one in a movie or TV show. It seems general enough (in a good way) to fit a number of situations. My only gripe with the song is the lyrics do not go anywhere...they sort of stay at the same level (other than the tag summing things up.) All three verses say basically the same thing. So here's what I would do. I would add a bridge to break things up melodically and to say something different with the lyrics and then try that market.

Just my two cents...but I hope you don't just dismiss this one. It stuck in my head for almost a month.
