Subject: RE: Review: Struggling with a new song I wrote
Hello Dan,

I listened to the song and enjoyed it too. As some-one who also tries to write their own songs, I know all about the tendency to over tweak them! I agree that a soulful harmonica would add to the mix and perhaps a skilfully played fiddle in there somewhere....if you are an honest songwriter you will always want to tweak your songs and always be not quite sure it's good enough! It's the artist in you coming through! But as you sing it over, you will find you will change your own words, almost unconciously! I agree that it needs a different start...but good to listen to with an effective guitar accompaniment.

All power to your elbow.

Best wishes,

Peter
