Suddenly went all Middle-Eastern and weird at the end.

Self-pitying lyrics.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Mar 03, 2022 7:34 pm

Very like Don McLean's Castles in the Air.

Abrupt ending.

by Nightjar Thu Mar 03, 2022 7:35 pm

Oh, it's over.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Mar 03, 2022 7:35 pm

It is over.

It was inoffensive enough but failed to be compelling and lacked character.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Mar 03, 2022 7:35 pm

I shall give it 2 stars.

by Nightjar Thu Mar 03, 2022 7:38 pm

I found that impossible to dislike, although, the famous song aside, it rarely hit any soaring heights.

Still, I feel it's my duty to give it, a probably generous, 4/5 on account of the fact the production and orchestral arrangements and musicianship was good throughout - and also because as an artist he probably deserved to be more successful in the long round.
