Love how this started with the algorithm prompt thing (and does touch on it) but is mainly about the tyranny of the unread book pile by your bed, which is soooo damn relatable. Great Ben Folds Five vibes on the music, and for that matter the quirky tongue in cheek lyrics. Nice one!

Very good chorus! Very good lyrics. I like the thoughts on how the success often breeds success on the expense of the up and coming. Kind of had me worried...

Nice power pop tune. The harmonies add a lot to the song and your instrumentation is spot on. Reminds me of my neglected goal of reading more this year as I’ve fallen out of the habit.

Yay some jangly fuzz rock. I like how the lead contributes to the vocal melody. Good arrangement and interesting bridge

Great tune, listened to it twice! And I love the topic as I've been reading more and more books in recent years.

I feel like this captures the feeling of analysis paralysis so well. Too many great choices that I can’t choose any of them lol. I find the idea for this song really creative and relatable, catchy! 🐸

Same as Stephen heard the songs the other way round. This could so easily have been radio played! Those guitars at the back are all class and build an unbreakable wall. Good song

Unusually, I heard the TC Elliott response song to this one first. This one is rather more polite.

The lyrics have such an excellent assonant flow; tumbling like a waterfall of words. And they articulate a set of thoughts that are as complex as they are relatable, bearing many repeated listens to appreciate all the nods and nuances.

The feather-light vocal layering is a gorgeous foil to the increasingly insistent guitarwork.

What a great premise for a song!! I love it. Your writing, arrangement, and instrumentation is really effective in a compelling and memorable style. Very well done!

Oh I feel this HARD. Great topic for a song, and you turned it into a total banger!

(Also I'm going to take this lyric way too literally and recommend you a book. Feel free to ignore this bit, haha. If you prefer fiction: "The Dispossessed" by Ursula K. Le Guin. If you prefer nonfiction: "Cobalt Red" by Siddharth Kara.)

Wow, this is so relatable... to movies, too! Those great reviews and rewards... I don't usually agree with them LOL Same with books! I love the energy and flow of your quest! Unique and real! Great one!!

Great use of rhyme here - liked the mix between the internal and end of line rhymes. I love that first verse too especially - you had me hooked with the first few lines, which felt uniquely you. Yes to the crunchy guitar too!

This is an awesome slice of power pop tastiness. Loving the guitars, arrangement and production. Your melody is enticing, too. This is a damn good one.

Cool guitar tones, very fitting for the style. I'm not that familiar with this kind of music, but I'm also getting slight pop punk vibes from the riffing as well? Arranging is very nice, it explodes in a proper way for the chorus and quiets down for the verses.

Ain’t that so, we are always being driven by their whims, Really good song, very catchy. Love the layer of guitars. Full of nice flourishes.

Nice cool indie song. It's a little reminiscent of Fountains of Wayne or that style of guitar power pop. I like the literary theme too. I think some reverb of the vocals would enhance the production.

Awesome song 🎵
