I know where you're coming from, as I don't typically include much repetition in my lyrics. I wasn't so much "proud" of the repeated lines, just forming a more traditional chorus this time. Unusual for my songs, but I thought a more typical pop structure fit this one well. It makes it catchy while providing a platform for the later nuances and backing melodies. I'd say that it even seems like the foreground and background switch places towards the end..

Loved your insight, "Strider." ~_^

(PS. can anyone with a good system with subwoofer tell me if the bass hits come through thumpin? I wish I could listen to it on a decent set of speakers ><)

I love the upbeat background with your mellow voic...

I love the upbeat background with your mellow voice - it personifies nostalgia. I love it. The refrain is beautiful - frisbee and sunscreen, great imagery. I'm really impressed.

You saying it twice right off the bat was a bit odd, almost like you were really proud of that particular image and I thought it took away from it by saying it twice right at the beginning. I know it's supposed to lead into the fact that you're going to say the highschool portion next time, but it's just something to think about.

Also in that particular highschool refrain, the "stealing street signs and drinking underage" is a bit rushed for the flow the song's taking. On the other hand the stealing street signs image is a great one and I really like it - total kudos for having it. ^_^

But again, love the sound, all of the additions in the background remind me of a bustling beach boardwalk, just trying to enjoy a vacation. At the very least it brought enjoyable memories. Thanks ^_^
