Hi Michelle, What a cool hook, one that, sadly, a lot of women can relate to. Very well written lyrically. While the demo is clean and sounds professional, I'm not sure if it's helping or hurting your chances of pitching it. I haven't taken the plunge of getting a pro demo made so I'm not one to give advice about it. If it was mine, I'd run with it until someone who knows what they're talking about tells me it sucks and to get it re-done. But that's just me.  Ricki

Hey, I just wanted to drop by and show my support! The singer is so PERFECT on this, her delivery is stellar, and I love the lyric. As others said, the music could be a little more "on it" but if you're going to sell it, they'll get the general idea anyway. I think it's a hit! Good job, and as always, it's a pleasure to experience your work. You're very talented.

Hi Alan, Thank you so much for your extremely kind comments.You are always so nice to me.I was happy to see that you had commented.Honestly I was sitting and waiting,just hoping that you would comment because I value your opinion so very much and I truly do appreciate your honesty. I understand what you are saying.I had never heard of pre-screeners.I have so much to learn.I'm considering sending it off to a few just to see what kinds of responses I get ,but in the end I may have to seriously consider a demo do over.I have much respect for Billy Darnell and I dont want to him to feel that I dont appreciate what he did.He worked on this for a few months and I know this for a fact.And in the end I feel That he gave me exactly what I asked for,so it was me who made mistakes,not Billy,and I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a reasonably priced demo.I just asked for the wrong thing apparently.Billy didnt do the wrong thing...I just want to make that clear.He is a wonderful person who I admire greatly,much like I do you Alan. Thank you so much for everything Alan.You have helped me so much,and I guess I just needed to hear from you just to be sure. Michelle

It's a good song but...
Just to be nosy, how much did you pay for this demo?

Hey Michelle...
First of all, great lyrics and a fit vocalist...the production is lacking of those two talents IMHO. I can hear this as a commercial piece givin the appropriate demo. Always enjoy your work...it has a super grass roots honesty to it that I don't see often.

Hi Jay, Thanks for listening.I feel that I paid a very fair price for the amount of time and work put in to this.Billy gave me what I asked for,so it was my call.I made the wrong decisions,not Billys demo company.But it was a very low price in my opinion.Could it have been better?Obviously.I wanted it simple and low priced until I was certain what I wanted.Now I know exactly which direction this I need to take this song.Thank you for your concerns. Michelle
