Pro General Comments: Hi Dave, Always include a lyric for the evaluator to read while listening to your song. It helps to see a rhyme scheme and meter.this is a very moving song about children growing up and moving out and the parents feeling sad and lonely as they remember the memories. Keep in mind it's not as if they will never see them again. Be careful not to paint too depressing of a storyline. I'm having a hard time visualizing a major country star singing this at a concert in front of their fans friends and family. That doesn't mean it's not a good song but i'm not hearing it as a country radio friendly hit song. The fact that the kids are all grown and gone could eliminate all the young unmarried country singers and the married singers whose kids are still young. Just something to take into consideration. There are a lot of "you" rhymes throughout this lyric. Your hook is Echoes. Echoes From the Moon and Echoes from the past are also used as hooks in this song. The music is very happy, bouncy and positive which doesn't quite fit the overall mood of the story. It's a very strong demo and vocal. It sounds professionally done. It's always good advice to submit a simple guitar/vocal before getting a professional demo done.
Quote From Pro: Dave Peeler has captured the sad and lonely feeling that parents go through when their last child has left the nest. This is a meaningful and real story that plays out daily across the world.
