Thread Name: CHECK OUT THIS SONG!!
Subject: RE: CHECK OUT THIS SONG!!
I hate to rain on the parade here, but I don't share the sentiment, though I must confess at the outset that I've never been a fan of 'hugging' songs.

It seems like there are twice as many words per line as there should be, given the tune. This makes the whole thing hurried and jumbled, and any real emotional attachment gets trampled.

It's sort of like, if you have a good 9-letter answer to a 6-letter crossword puzzle clue, you can still use it, if you write small.

The song is OK, but I'd stop a few leagues short of 'classic'

Shields up !!!.........
