Dom You and your song represent the future.
It is put together reasonably well. The instrumentation is reasonably good. It's crudely catchy and pleasing enough to listen to.
It is not the tone deaf stuff that amateur songwriters often put up, here, facebook and everywhere else. An un-invested and indifferent observer would probably like it better than a lot of stuff.
And you, Dom, are now able to actually bring songs rather than only arguments.
Sounds like Green Day or Fall Out Boy or something to me. Am surprised it did not trigger a too-close threshold.

Thank you seems sincere.
I think the sound while not radio radio is a snap shot of the real thing. And the sound your hearing elevates the song
I always had songs I don't have the patience expertise to bring them to life. One advantage I have I think is I have lyrics and melodies already real songs it's easier to find a match and it when it's setup as a real song ..
The problem is I can't complete them it gives me a different chorus and different verse
But you still need your own sound and I wanna perform in it
I suspect anyone with knowledge of song forms and the styles to use will vate well too
And yeah totally fall out boy and green day it's what i envisioned only .much more commercial
I wanted that sound but not soundike that exactly

But you still need your own sound and I wanna perform in it I spent some time trying to understand the construction of vocal harmonies this afternoon. I came across this young British woman who has several plainly stated and thoughtful videos about mics and recording, etc. May be of some use to you. https://www.youtube.com/@ThirdFret

Cool thanks. Listen to the Beatles for harmony it don't get better than that .
Your basics are you sing the third of the melody.
In a D chord if your singing d your melody ,f# would be your harmony.
U.can sing 5th too in d chord sing A
Those are your reference points try to find the sweet spot and sing over the melody..
I know insult me now

I know insult me now I was aware of those things. But nothing was working with my voice on my current song. 3rd and 4th and 5th sound bad. I am having a little luck with Male tandem female tandem female octave up. (all gotten from AUDIMEE) The young women explains other ways to build melodies. It was interesting, but I dont think that any of them would work with my voice. Why would I insult you?

I like my own melody but admit what they did with the interchanging harmonies was so cool. Shied what good producers do to polish tracks and of course the sound makes everything better. It's very limited. It's seems to like doing something musical before.the chorus. Alot of my songs are meant to slam the chorus, with the lyric or title Then I hear music going in and often it's awkward timing. Can't add you own musical hooks which I always have a few Can't make a full song. Sounds too. Much like other big artists. But it's teaching me things and giving me great snap shots. Also showd that great production are so important Makes you humble

That is a fun listen. Kudos to you from putting it together. I'd really like to hear a guitar solo in there and another sing of the chorus. Could you get AI to do that? Bill

"Defeatist Pessimists and Rose Colored Glasses Optimists are lonely companions, victims even. Both ideologies imply predestined outcomes, and therefore breed inactivity in its victims. Inaction is the only sure way to lose at anything in life. All positive action guarantees at least a fighting chance." -Brian Austin Whitney
