JPF Home Page Forums Lyric and MP3 Feedback MP3 Feedback Forum Run Away - Collab with Kristi Mckeever

Magne,

I guess I should stick from giving feedback when I rush through it like this, sorry about that. I didn't put enough emphasis on how much I liked the song in the end.


Magne, I "got" that you liked the song! You did emphasize that you liked the song, and I said "I'm glad you ended up liking it!"

I do feel, though, that if you can pose the question yourself asking if it sustains enough interest, you know deep down that it doesn't.

Magne, you know that is a ridiculous piece of logic, that is like saying, anybody that worries if they are really a good person deep down knows that they're not" when the truth may be the opposite, as humility is a salient factor in determining something like that. A human beings ability to be self-critical does not make the object of their being critical automatically true.

I asked if it sustained interest NOT out of any deep seated psychological motive, but basically because I wanted to know if any spots could use better arranging, or more music, or less music, but NOT if the song was too long, because "length" is something that a "radio edit" can fix, and I am presenting the album cut.

You are free to say that you think the song works better without the first two verses and lift. I even thought you had something, with this observation. Did you miss that I said, "Just for the hell of it, I listened , starting at "Drive along the beach" and you know what? Not bad, not bad...leave it to you to have something startling and innovative to throw my way, and make me think." ??

I hope you had a good laugh

Magne, if you notice, I am laughing over the fact that you and Tom Franz have the exact opposite feelings. He loves the first two verses and lift, and doesn't think the chorus sustains interest! To me this is funny! Like...I respect both of your opinions, but what we have here is a "critical stand-off" of sorts, and I found it amusing, and that is why I laughed. Look:

"LOL, your feelings are the exact opposite of Tom Franz's who thinks the verses are strongest, and the chorus is the weak spot."

I am sorry if my response to you seemed insensitive. That was definitely NOT my intention, as I think you are great, and I respect your opinion, and I was just telling Kristi that you are my favorite pure singer on the boards.

Please reread my response to you, in its entirety now, and KNOW that it was not meant in anything other than "writer to writer" and with absolutely nothing but the best feelings about you in mind as I wrote.

Mike
