Ouch..
Meet me after school Yeti....just kidding:-). LL

You know, I wrote a long sort-of review last week and somehow, my computer is saying my dog ate it and my dog is saying that I'm nuts, that it never happened.

I probably am nuts, seeing that my dog talks to me, but I did have some constructive criticism. I'll see if I can't recall what it was....

Something to do with a guitar solo after the bridge as well as thinking the synth track sounded out of place without some sort of processed sonic buddy in the track to make it not sound like the redheaded stepchild amongst the more trad. instrumentation of the acoustic guitars, bass and drums. I also suggested a live drum track to help make it sound a little more like a live band as a rhythm section.

I thought the song was fun and to the point (though, yeah, a little wordy in spaces, which is one of the symptoms of "singer/songwriter" disease, which Yeti suffers from as well, though he's been working on it and shows promise.) Having a live rhythm track with a little tasteful guitar textures/lines running through would be an appropriate way to pepper up the mix.

I like Lisa's voice, and the song has an uplifting spirit that I can attest, is harder to write than a dirgy downer.

I think I used to go to school with a kid named Dirgy Downer. I would have to check my 6th grade yearbook, but I think he sat behind my pal, Gozzy Hayes).

Besides a couple forgivable pitch deviations, I think it's a good sounding track. Maybe you might want to exploit the adrenaline that a song like "Good Lovin'" by the Rascals (which the prechorus has a lot in common with) has, which I can bet Lawrence's live show might have a little more of. I also wanted to mention that I spied the same intro on Sammy Hagar's "I Can't Drive 55". He probably doesn't need it anymore, so it's all your's now!

I'll check out Lisa's site, as this is the first I heard of her. That's another great reason why Volcanoboy can rock like a hurricane.
