Interesting feel to it, very laid back.
I like the play on words with Gettysburg Address.
Story feels half told to me, I would have liked to hear the second half - understand why you can't do that though!

Very nice. Love the final line with the grey clouds turning black. Not always a happy ending.
"love, is life's recipe for disaster" now there's a bitter line!
Good sound, nice fit to the lyric.
Good stuff Sid!

You do a better job than most, Tom, don't sell yourself short! I can understand your own recordings are not to the standard you'd like, but they surely show how it's meant to be.

The starting chords are Am9 and Bm11 played as follows:
@Domd Thanks! Always appreciate an honest review, and constructive feedback. I'll definitely think on those points.
…It's a good one Carroll. Powerful, and far too real i suspect.
It's a good version, and a good song.
Dylan fans are going to love all the references, and I love the specificity of Dylan, Bloomingdale's and Baltimore Dates - quite an eclectic mix!
Good stuff.
The heart on your sleeve’s only paint
Nice line!
I like how you're using "don't call me" with multiple meanings.
Got a good feel to it over all.
Felt a bit early to go into a break straight after v1,…
Kudos for being able to write songs in multiple languages! It feels very comfortable hearing it in French, a good match.
The game of fire - searching for that spark. Very evocative!
The guitar riffs are another highlight for me.
I think the most important thing with a spiritual song like this is for it to feel honest and heartfelt, and I do get that feeling here.
I like the "Glory Glory Glory" and "Holy Holy Holy", it's a nice mirror that seems to work very well. A…
Really strong start! Love the visuals and the sense of place. Also probably the most unique part.
It's a classic blues style, and all the clichés are in there: wife done you bad, broke your heart, harmonica wailing etc. And that's clearly a…
Yes, indeed! The more life experience you have, the more you can put into your songs!
There is no age limit here. And you can be as anonymous (or not) as you choose to be.
And if you're not sure how good your songs are, then a site li…
No problem Domd! I think you have a good sense of what you want for your songwriting.
I can well believe it! But always interesting!
I saw that you wrote the words to this. It would also be interesting to feed an AI your previous lyrics and see how it would respond - though that might be against the rules of this site!!
I like this one. It feels theatrical. I'm kinda the…
Whilst both versions work, I think the rap verse is definitely ahead.
I'm less keen on the lyric of the chorus. Not sure it's really saying anything, though it sounds quite good, and that's certainly half the battle. It does give a…
I like this Kayla.
Firstly, there's a strong sense of place to it. I'm standing in the hallway looking at faces, and remembering other times.
There's also emotion: sorrow, but tempered by a sense of reflection and distance. And a sens…
That's cool. enjoyed my listen!
I think you need to find an angle on it. Maybe he's dancing in a mask. You can't see his face but are entranced by the way he moves. Something like that.
Might work well as a dance track. I think the lyric takes a back seat to the catchy rhythm in this one.
It's easy on the ears, but it didn't really grab my attention.
I think the male version works better given the lyric, but they bot…
Got a classic country feel to it.
I think we can all picture ourselves on that bar stool!
The music is a good match for the lyric. "It's my easy chair" - and that's the feeling I get from the music. It something easy and comfortable t…

Yes, not instead of meaning, but in addition to.
Great chorus! Really strong there, and the whole song works.
Message comes across clearly. Not sure I entirely agree with it, but that's a different thing!
And it doesn't feel at all like The Who (beyond the title), so no dramas there…
Excellent song Tom! Very catchy, very polished feel, as well as having some teeth!
Really interesting music you've chosen for this. Quite a frenetic pace.
I'm wondering how it would sound with a contrasting chorus, both musically and lyrically. Something more emotional / abstract and long drawn out syllables. " I am I, I …
Very nice! Lovely gentle rhythm to it. It works very well as a duet.
"Even when we're not in like" is a lovely line, and a truth to boot!
Good choice to double up the chorus after the first time.
I'm not sure why you switched fr…
I like this, but I think your key line: "All I wanna be...just a guy and a guitar" needs to be more singable for an average listener. It's a bit downbeat and clipped. Doesn't sound bad, it's just hard to join in.
Nice guitar riffs …
Well that's a cynical, world weary one! But it's definitely got an attitude.
The copy Rolex / fake Gucci is a nice touch. Really shows them both faking it in a very visual concrete way.
And "lasted, till the rent came due" is a nice a…
Howdy, Stranger!
