Pro General Comments: The first line or two more are good but title needs to be rethought. Also rethink the title: "Bought Me an Acre". The entire structure of this song is different and even the changes in modulations at 1:33 is not good. The strong accents of the female background vocalists at 1:56 is good. But 1:32 transition of key and tempos pulls away at 2:15 then the fill in of repeating the line "What A wonderful Time" (2:56 change ups to 3:25 sadly distracts). The producer may have had a reason or the songwriter for these changes but I don't understand for what and why. Remember even a great song the vocalist is very important in selling the message of the song to the listener. Honestly at this point in my review it became not a wonderful time even though the guitarists lick at the end with the organ player was nice for that religious touch. Rework it and maybe end at 2:50 then resubmit as you can do much better, I have reviewed some of those good ones from you both in the past.
Quote From Pro: This song is different in the variety of its change ups. You as the songwriters may have a reason for all the different parts in this composition but in my opinion, I would rework the entire song. When doing this leave out a few things as it is and definitely do this before shopping it or even as a release. One thing is the end of the song is so far away from the beginning start which for some folks opinions may vary. It's not one I'd listen to repetitively but the hook "What A Wonderful Time" could be one song and "Bought Me An Acre" another song. I see no "Judgement Day or Night" as the title you have given this composition. Thank you for sharing.
