Lyrics: |
Nice bit of whimsey. Very simple, but it somehow said a lot more to me than many longer songs have.

Arrangement &
Production: |
I like the effects on the vocals, it gives an eerie vibe. Otherwise, very impressive work in the use of the 4-track almost as an additional instrument.

Great for the style you are going for on this. The use of the effects really brings out a strong feeling which adds to the simplicity of the lyrics.

Musicianship: |
I love the use of the organ, and the heavy reverb on the country style guitar. It creates a mood that is playful, spooky and mysterious all at once.

Marketability: |
This kind of music has a small niche, but has no chance at mainstream acceptance. It might do well for use in indi movies.

I really love this track. It will not sell well, but it will find a core audience that will be fanatical about it.
