Thanks, I'd recommend going to ats5's arrangement video: just do a general search and scroll down for the one that he used for step 4 - that, or go to the link that Rivers provided for this step, which also appears in the "related videos" for this page
I find the lyrics depressing. The protagonist on the verge of breakup with his wife/ family. Their only shared interest is 80's music. What a horrendous yet believable scenario.
might i make a suggestion?...your song is begging for a one-syllable word in front of your refrain...i think the word, "please" would work..."Please say you love me still..."
Hey, thanks man. I think that your bridge (the part I left out) is still excellent, and hopefully can make a reappearance. Also, the dissonance of your (?) second chord shouldn't matter considering the progression also has a major 7 chord. I mean, that's practically living in Miles Davis jazzland, and you brought it back home to To 40 territory. I can't wait to hear your new version.
Haha, yeah the solo was a makeshift one, more to say "here is a cool place for a solo." Hopefully that will be one of the future steps of this project regardless of what Rivers picks.
holy sweet solo! nice lyrics, though i agree with meWASHER on the "as cheesy as it sounds/take me as i am."

I really like the lyrics, the only lines I don't think fit are "As chessy as it sounds/ take me as I am." Other than that great job.
P.S. where can I get the music from so I can try to think of some stuff?

Fuck dude, these are the first 80s Radio lyrics I've heard that aren't ghey and cheesy! You even pull a joke of it:
"As cheesy as it sounds"
Dude, this rocks! Still, I don't get it... has Rivers chosen this...?

I definitely thought you were going to throw the 80's radio when you went out for a cruise
I LOVE THE SECOND LINE, needing deep inspiration, fits the song idea so well!!! RIVERS!! look at this really closely!
get ride of the solo in the middle but i'd keep the end of the song, at least part of it... great song idea!!

I hope the song has a solo, but that Rivers himself does that part. I don't think anybody could top Rivers in the solo dept.
I don't even really want anyone to try. lol.
