AlexStangl2012-08-26 You really put it together Mike - like the arrangement - the beginning and ending instrumental hooks might have been good for another in the middle - fabola song - to the point, very catchy - ~AS~
mlprat2012-08-26 Thanks Alex, I thought it might need a bridge or lead break .. but I got lazy lol. [Delete]
geediane2012-08-26 Love it, Mike! Everything here sounds great! but you should know that I would not hate ya or leave ya...
JamesCain2012-08-26 Love that guitar playing. Plus this is a fun melody. Well doneJames
sdgetunes2012-08-26 Love the retro rocker feel. My favorite kinda' tune.Ed Dunn
BGJeff2012-08-26 Very cool. Vocal and melody are terrific, and I like the chorus a lot. I think you should fire your drummer, though.
j.yonks2012-08-26 Very cool song Mikey!John
TWH2012-08-26 I like the lyrics, and everything else... cept the drum trax. Maybe it's just me but it seems out of sync. Other than that I enjoyed the listen.TwH
Beeswing2012-08-26 what a cool retro sound you have going here Mikey! Your voice is just perfect for this kind of style! :)
rustyblake2012-08-26 Alex mentioned the instrumental hooks and I agree so much. He articulates where I stumble! Really catchy, especially the chorus and very entertaining.Rusty
ottlukk2012-08-26 Nicely done, real smooth. Ott
mfrazier2012-08-26 Feels like a bit too much reverb or delay on the drums, puts them a milisecond off time to my ears. I really like this song Mike. Great set of lyrics and the melody works really well. Vocal gives me an Orbison feel. Love your guitar work. Nicely done.
Rard2012-08-27 dig the 'take that' sentiment. the stab'e chorus has wonderful contrast to the more woven verse melody. there's a rock'n edge to this that provides a 'hey wait a minute' I gotta hear that again. nicely done Mr. M.
kfl442012-08-27 very nice, love the drums, nice harmoniesKenny
Notewordy2012-08-27 serious delivered with snide and comedy. very cool.
joesilveira2012-08-28 Very Nice. love The Intro.Great Guitar.Awesome Vocal.Joe
teecee2012-08-29 Love the guitars Mike, lyrics and vocal are just excellent too! T
TimothyScott2012-08-29 Love the groove,Mike and the percussion intro & outro..seems fairly structured maybe due to the drums but retains your passionate vocal style...I dig the guitar riffing and pop feel..;)--ts
musiclover082012-08-29 Got a another smile on my face after listening to yet another of your songs Mike. Super words, singing and playing. However I do agree with the coments about the drums, yet I still LOVE! BTW.... you have my casper vote! [Delete]
GillySlinn2012-08-30 Oooh! Big production Mikey! Love the melody and structure - and of course your vocals are stellar as always. Jamstix need a wee bit of practice - but that's a very minor detail. Great stuff.
paintmonster12012-09-01 I dig your guitar playing and vocals work very well with the style of the write. Just my 2 cents on the drums... besides what's already mentioned about the timing...maybe a different drum pattern might fit better. Respectfully :)Trent
mlprat2012-09-01 Sorry about the drums folks .. I'll do better next time. [Delete]
billdraper2012-09-02 Nicely put together Michael... I like it all!Bill
LEXZ2012-09-04 Grabs you fast and doesn't let go. Fine guitar sound complements the fine song writing and delivery.
angie2012-09-06 Cool story song, Mike! I like everything about this really. The sticks, acoustic guitar work, singing, change up in the rhythm from verse to chorus, story, singing. Great song!
Quados2012-09-09 Love the voice. Enjoyed the listen.Billy.
rhallcne2012-09-15 Excellent love this tune. Well done. The flow is perfectly done!! Thanks for sharing...rick hall
pianoman32012-10-02 I know this musta been a challenge for you - working to a click and adding drums but you DID it, buddy! (-:To me, this is a good Pop song with a strong chorus and a nice uppy, happy feel and a cool lyric.. not Rock. BUT 'it's about the song' and you've written a good'un which would sound great with a band performing it. I liked to 'honky-tonk-woman' style guitar licks and I think the sweet lead parts would be more Rock if they were dirty and bendy.Great to hear you out of 'the box', Mikey. Now, kick ass with Jamsticks and let's hear more Rock songs from you. Thanks for sharing. ~ John
mlprat2012-10-04 Yeah, I agree it's probably not rock .. but for some reason I hate the label "pop" .. it's such a muddy moiled genre .. :) [Delete]
Harris2012-11-02 Pop, rock, country. Who cares. It's really nicely done, Michael.
Theea2013-07-18 Lovin' the lyrics, especially the chorus, they describe a very old past relationship of mine. Really nice!
