This was my cousin's first (well, the first I heard) song, for the contest as well. Still waiting to hear from Foster -- he probably just misplaced our numbers. Yeah, that must be it.
I didn't really like the song at first. The tempo changes and distorted vocal in the chorus reminded me somewhat of Jethro Tull's "Aqualung," of which I was never a fan. And I thought the opening lyrics were somewhat weak.
But my cousin aced his guitar parts, and the bass was rock-solid. All in all, I now think it's a better song than my much-laboured over "By The Lake."
