About This Song


Unless it's Friday, the day after a workday is always another workday. So have a drink, and wait it out.

Feedback Requested


I'm rēally contemplating rēwriting the verses. I've never bēen complētely happy with them, and I think I can do better. What do you think? Lyrically, are the verses strong enough to kēep?

You write the catchiest hooks and choruses! It’s awesome. I agree that the verses could be a little stronger and could maybe adhere moreso to a theme, but you definitely don’t need to rewrite them completely. Just change a few lines here and there so that it’s less vague in spots. Judging by your other work, you won’t have any problem at all improving them a little bit!

My only other suggestion is that you may want to speed up the pre-chorus or maybe add a few more lyrics. The words are drawn out, and there are long pauses, so it’s coming across pretty slowly compared to the rest of the song. It does allow the chorus to really jump out tempo-wise, though, so that’s definitely a plus.

The bridge is great, as is the change-up in the last chorus. You write really dynamically and know just when to pull listeners back in!

It’s good to hear my suspicions confirmed! Ha, It means I’m not being too hard on myself and my ‘self-critiques’ are moving me in the right direction! Thanks!

Also, there are some lead guitar parts and other instrumentation that not only help “fill the spaces” in the pre-chorus section, but also help build-up and prepare the listener for the chorus. I would, however, like to write another set of lyrics for the second pre-chorus (That’s something I didn’t mention).

And just so you know, the “catchy” and “dynamic” comments petty much made my day!

Thanks for the feedback!
