Pro General Comments: first of all you don't sound like like anyone in particular which is a good thing if you are the artist. I gave a few middle scores in the instrumentation mix etc because all i could hear through my headphones was electric guitar and drums...there was no bass that I could hear and no keyboards that I could hear. I'm not sure if there was a bass or keyboards. It could be there were but they were overwhelmed by the loud electric guitar and drums. If they are there this needs re-mixed in my opinion. Now if it is only electric guitar and drums then that's fine if you are the vocalist. I listed to the Go Go's and they definitely used more instruments and had a more pop rock sound. The song is very energetic and has a driving groove that kids will love. It's a song about unrequited love that could have been and it's a shame he screwed it up. The hook stands out and the melody in the verse and chorus are both catchy and memorable. Overall good job on the vocal...the double track is a little pitchy but that's the style so it still works. I like the stops and the drum break with the vocal. It made the song interesting. You might want to try breaking up the rhythm and sound of the electric guitar to make the song less predictable. I'd love to hear the bass if it's playing a different note and rhythm than the electric guitar. This song might work with a music library or music placement company specializing in films and television. Overall it has potential for radio and internet streaming platforms. It's commercial
