Thanks man, i appreciate it.  We’re currently writing music for it, so when it’s done I’ll definitely send it your way.

I love this song =) Had a very… ‘Early simple plan’ sound… in my head… =D
Although the rhyming of ‘in’ with ‘in’ in the third verse kinda kills that bit.
I don’t like the ‘my spine just cracked’ line. I dunno why, but it sorta seems like the kind of line that should be that the peak of the song, not the build-up.
‘ID has forfeited’? Unclear.

Thanks for the review.  The back breaking lines deal with the constant struggle that everyday work did to me.  Hard work and no reward is something that really sucks.  Additionally, the Id part of the song is referring to Sigmund Freud’s analysis of the id.  You should definitely check it out!

I’ll google it, but I’m hella confused.

What sound are you talking about that rushes in? Be more specific; dusk doesn’t have a sound, just an image. “But I’ve no moves left” use I have.  What pieces are set? You don’t really define what you’re saying in some stanzas. What new feelings? I’d work with this one a little.

It’s all imaginary man.

Good lyrics—  especially for being hung over in mexico : )

But you used the word “everything” (and “anything”) an awful lot.

Slant rhyme never bothers me too much—  and it adds some variety to the choice of words.  My only suggestion would be less use of the word “everything”.

Everything else, I liked.  Even the “anything” usage was pretty okay.

: )

I like it. I can picture Elliot Smith singing it.  Not that I’m saying that it’s up to his calibre, which is not a knock on you. I mean Elliot Smith is a genius.

The first few lines are great and they make me think of being somewhere that’s so fun and exhilarating, while being intoxicated that after awhile you just want to go home because you’ve worn yourself out and have sensory overload.

I don’t get this line- My Id has forfeited-because it can either be I.D. or id; and both of them kind of make sense but they change the meaning of the stanza(?).

THe part about cracking your back and shuddering…if that means what I think it means, props to you, because I know what that’s all about and fits in with how the first part of the song about things I can relate to.

I like it. The song is very visual.  Good job.

Thanks!  The word is actually Id, like as in Freud.  The line was supposed to mean that since I’ve no longer lost control to my id, I should be able to be free of so much stress.  Unfortunately time is up and I shudder at the fact that at one specific time it was too late to change

this is a awesome peice of work, i really wish i could hear it with the music in the background, in my mind i can try but nothing would be the same till, it is published and sung on the radio. I really like the sound of the flow as well.

well, there will be music soon enough.  I’ve been writing music to go along with these lyrics.  Minimalist electropop is what I’m leaning towards.  I want it to be a rather quiet song

hi there,

well i see how this maybe a good song, but i think the title should be mentioned throughout the song so people will know the name of it.i also see how you wrote this hung over in mexico!!!!....:)..hope you had a good time,jim

Congratulations, a good song. I really enjoyed how well the words flowed, and it that you didn’t try to tell a story, you just let your feelings out.

Great Job.
