Description:
This song is about feeling stagnant while everything in the world rushes by. I'm still tweaking the lyrics, but I thought I'd get some feedback on likes/dislikes.

Lyrics:
Years ago they said I had potential/
But now my life seems so inconsequential/
This wasn’t my original intention/
How can I pick up and start again?/
Chorus:
Time flies in only one direction/
But I’m paralyzed at this intersection/
How can I be freed from my own inaction?/
How can I be more than what I am?/
How can I be more than what I am?/
How can I be more than what I am?/

Well I know I never will be famous./
At least I’m strong enough that I can say this./
I just want the chance to change my fate./
To rearrange what’s doled out on my plate.

Outstanding &mdash 01/03/05 - 06:13:23 AM
The opening and the closing are akward but the middle
section sounds wonderful, especially when the backing
vocals enter. Somewhere along the way, the vocalist
should hold a note while the bass player slips into a funky
solo.

Some skat at the end might be a nice way to end things.

Very Good Voice &mdash 01/03/05 - 06:29:15 PM
I would place the voice more forward in the mix. It sounds
like the singing is taking place elsewhere - almost as
though the singer isn't close enough to the mic.
But there are wiser folks here than I who may suggest how
to handle correct this.

This is great ... &mdash 01/18/05 - 04:15:01 PM
... I totally identify with the lyrics again - personal, yet a universal human feeling. Very Ray of Light-esque, VERY cool! Plus it's freakin' CUTE. Go girl.

Love this voice &mdash 02/04/05 - 09:51:34 PM
I really really dig this voice. I might be inclined to fill out the arrangement - but I am a bit wall of sound - so ignore that.
