Overall, I felt the song still needed a little more work. While I love the hook, "Because of What You Did,", I didn't feel the melody held up to the lyric in the chorus and throughout the song. When listening, I kept thinking this might be better as a ballad 20 BPMs slower with a more dynamic vocal on it. It doesn't sound like the singer is "upset" at all about "what they did." A song with this kind of strong lyrical hook needs emotion behind the delivery. When you "slam the door" behind, slam the vocal as well. While I think singer is good, this is not the right melody or song for him. Some of the lyrics felt a little too rhythmic and forced, "the tears you cry" is an example. If this was my song, I would take the lyric as it is strong, hand it to a co-writer and let them produce it without hearing the original. In fact, I may ask a couple of different producers to do this. I think you would be surprised in a positive way at the interpretations of this quality lyric. Hope this helps and thanks for being a member of Broadjam! Roy
Amy, I really love the song. Wouldn't change a thing. Has a great flow to it. The pre-chorus pause is killer and setups the chorus nicely. Reminds me a little of a Mumford and Sons vibe. Awesome work.
Awesome song. Very joyful sounding, great vocals and instrumentation.
Great hook and tempo. I hear a female vocal on this, even though it's male on the demo. Good luck with this!
Sounds like a good Country song.
