NSAI - Cool Theme. It’s really cool and melodic in a memorable way. The music is beautiful & very strong  with the right structure. Lots of cool hook lines & phrases. It really feels like cool new, New Year’s song lyrics which are straight up, tight and easy to follow. You have cool images of a New Year's celebration. Very cool Irish melodic melodies and feel. One Evaluator after mentioning that the demo is very cool, did commented on the length, but said I should be the judge. I think the ending adds a timeless “class” to the song. You be the judge. They suggested that this could work Pop, Holiday song markets, and for Syncs.   Maybe the Christmas song market, as well, because New Years is celebrated pretty much at the same time. This could also work  for the Cabaret  market and perhaps Syncs. One closed with “I enjoyed listening.”  That says it all for me. NSAI ACCOLADE: “ONE TO WATCH”!

NSAI - Cool theme and hook, as well as Country melodies, vocals and feel. Chorus melody is definitely beautiful. Nice job there! It’s a very cool hook. You definitely did a good job in cutting down on the length of the song. “You do some cool stuff vocally towards the end and that works. The lyrics are really cool”. “It has a great sentiment and the love between a father and daughter really comes across. You have a lot of great lines here. It’s visual and conversational at the same time  and that works well.”  You start off when a wedding day. Then you talk about how she’s grown. “That 1st verse is very cool. The detail about the tie is great writing. You have a lot of great stuff”. “This feels very authentic. The music is beautiful, and the lyrics really show the love between a father and daughter. This is really cool.”  This could work for the Contemporary  Country market. ACCOLADES: “ONE TO WATCH” - NSAI Evaluation

NSAI - “Everything is good.”  You have the basic right structure, and a cool theme.  It feels like the whole chorus is a hook as opposed to a phrase or a line. It feels pretty good.  You have a lot of great, cool images here and it’s a clear cool story.  “I love the idea of the roses, the fact they have a meaning, and that he tries to live them each day. “  “There's definitely a vibe within this that works. Cool melodic traditional minor key haunting contemporary country melodies and feel.  I hear the George Strait-type of a melody in here. I think an artist could hear it and get the point   It's a workable melody. This could work for the traditional country market.  “You have a cool story and if feels really good.”   NSAI ACCOLADES: “ONE TO WATCH”​

NSAI (Sophisti-Pop Version Only) - It’s a very cool hook. LYRIC: This is cool. It is a description of a woman, and you have a lot say about her here. The images work real well. Cool theme. This could work for the  smooth Jazz  and dance market. You have a cool pop/jazz melody here. It sounds like a cross between a pop/ jazz song and a disco dance song. I suggest you pick one or the other and either way work on an appropriate drum part. The melody and changes feel  more jazz /pop  so try to figure out a cool drum part for that kind of vibe. Keep up the good work.

This is cool and it has a great sentiment. You get across the innocence of how children see the world. “I love the message of this for sure!” “You have some great lines here. The opening lines are great!! “I like how you've got it laid out and there is not much here that needs tweaking.” “I really think it is a cool message and song! Cool melodic Pop melodies and feel, not particularly Country Radio. All you need is an artist who wants to say this to  an arena full of people!. It sort of feels more fitting for a Broadway musical?? “You obviously have a great talent of production, singing, and writing, so you have all the tools. it is well written and produced. All you can do is pitch it around and see the reaction you get. it is great.”

NSAI – “The demo has strong production, and the vocalist is very good. Catchy and memorable melodies.” I like the hook. I like the twist in her name. This is Americana/Folk and leans toward the traditional side of Country music.

NSAI - You have the right structure and a cool theme for a traditional country song. It’s a cool traditional country hook and you use it in a memorable way. Cool traditional country melodies and feel. The George Jones vocal really works well. You have a lot of cool lines here. I really like how you describe  the feeling of  slow dancing. It’s very intimate. The man’s role in leading a woman dancing around the floor really comes across. I can’t think of anything to suggest here. It feels good. This is cool. I suggest you pitch this to specific artists who are still making traditional country records. ACCOLADES: “ONE TO WATCH” - NSAI Evaluation

NSAI - You have a beautiful song here. It comes across almost as a lull-a-bye and the context is very touching. Congratulations on dusting off an old song and bringing it back to life with a fresh demo. Overall you've done a lovely job paying tribute to someone who has lost their father. Bravo. Keep writing!!

​

​NSAI - You have the right structure.  Hook and Lyrics are very cool.  You have a lot of cool images here. It’s very spiritual and it really shows this person's pain of missing his father and how much the father  meant to him. It’s shows the loss. That all works.  Cool melodic Ballad Pop melodies and feel.  Cool theme.  This has a great sentiment. This could work for the Pop or Contemporary  Christian market. Keep up the good work.

NSAI - It’s a cool memorable hook, and cool theme. It’s an interesting story for sure. Everything supports the hook, and the lyrics flow really well. Cool melodic folk/country  melodies and feel. The melody supports the lyrics well, and you do a good job of creating strong contrast between verse and chorus. Good LIFT in that chorus. Overall…”this is very cool.” This could work for the country and folk /Americana market. I personally like the idea.  NSAI ACCOLADES: “ONE TO WATCH”

NSAI - Beautiful, professional demo - I love the clear vocals. Love the feel of this song. It feels positive and like something I want to hear over again. The title reflects the hook, well done. “I think this is a classic and commercially friendly approach.” Lyrics give it a good start where the emotion definitely comes through, which is most important. “I love that you have a moment where it’s positive. Once you’ve made the move to a new perspective, I think it makes more sense to stay there and leave the listener on the positive note. “ “I like the range of the melody, and the phrasing seems natural. Overall, the Demo does a nice job of presenting the song.” ” I certainly think people could relate to this idea. I really appreciate that you found a way to make it positive and hopeful towards the end. I think that’s a real difference maker in the commercial viability of the idea.” Perhaps  more of a Contemporary Christian song than Country or Pop, though the themes are universal. Overall, excellent job, Bill. Beautiful and powerful song! NSAI ACCOLADES – “Ones to Watch”!

NSAI - “You have the right structure.” “It’s a cool hook and you use it in a memorable way.” Cool theme, Pop Ballad lyrics and melodies and feel. “The modulation is cool, Cool soulful country/ pop melodies and feel. The last chorus is cool. I thought it might be a modulation, but you just have her doing some cool stretched out licks that work well.“ It shows the emptiness and her yearning. That works well. You create the scene and tell the story. I think it’s pretty straight ahead. Pretty universal for the people who really want their relationships to last. It’s emotional and you have cool images. I think it’s pretty tight! This could work for the Pop and Contemporary Country market. “This is pretty tight.” “ I think pitch ready.”  NSAI ACCOLADES – “Ones to Watch”!

NSAI - “I think it’s a cute storyline and everything seems to support the hook really well.” Theme is ok, about settling but finding true happiness. Pretty relatable. I think the melody and the flow fit the lyrics really well. While definitely a bit of an unconventional structure; the title is fine and great seeing solid placement.
