Hi John... thanks for the thoughtful review of my song I Heart New York! I've struggled with a few of those elements that you mentioned and am still bashing away at it (in my mind at least! :-)

All the best!

thank you for your review of my tune. it was written to be a good melody and to appeal to women who are in a long term relationship and would like to hear about long term love. it wasn't written for children. and, it's always in tune. but, it is mor like 90 percent of the world. it was not written or performed to be hip and now for the kids. your stuff is professional and aimed and i can see why you have had success. thanks again and good luck. Rob Spillane
