4 out of 5, 7 out of 10.
I read your blog post, and find nothing wrong with what you did, and even kind of agree with it because I know how you feel completely. The questions you have to ask yourself is... if everyone did what you did, would you still be where you are?
As far as the song goes, it's nice. I enjoy it. It doesn't scream anything fantastic, but it's an easy listen. Sometimes the notes sound out of key with what the bass is doing, and what some people are saying about it not having any direction with its melody is also kind of true.
Thanks for the listen.
