“This
lyric’s message had a good universal feel – who hasn’t wanted at one time
or another in his/her life to be somebody else? Yet there was a uniqueness in
the approach – to want to be somebody else to feel good and find love once
again. I found the lyric easy to identify with, memorable and easy to ‘sing’
along with. A wish for improvement would be that the author focus less on the
mistakes made and more on the pain of not being loved anymore…that would make
a more favorable light for an artist to want to cut this song. All in all, a
strong lyric. Congratulations, Alex.”
“Like
the subject, well crafted, like the positive ending, I think the melody can make
the hook stronger in the chorus.”

“A
test of a good song is if the song can make you feel something. “I’ll Meet
You” accomplished that. The lyrics were simple, straightforward and from the
heart. I felt the love in this message and “heard” the melody in my head as
I read the words.”
“Nice
song but nothing different, question the meter he has chosen on verses, could be
stronger.”

“Like
the subject matter but needs tightening in form and some parts of the lyrics.”
“Same
Old Mess Another Day” conveyed to me the confusion and questioning of purpose
many people experience when facing the possibility of war. I didn’t care for
the author’s choice of hook, but found the lyrics intriguing which made it
stand out above others”.
