re: My son “released” a song from the basement-looking for feedback

Its a great personal sounding song. Awesome he wrote, performed and sang it. I hope he keeps going and being creative.

Criticism, the song does need a change of pace/intensity within the chorus and it would benefit from an "uplifting" middle 8 - just my opinion of course. I'd love to hear some strings integrated into the chorus to make is soar a bit and carry through the middle 8 and outro or ending.

High five to your talented son - keep encouraging him. He has a unique voice he lends to his music.
