You had me in the liners with Fascination Street - love the bass forward vibe and year it has a dark feel with lots of emotional guitars. But it really gets burning at times. I could listen to this all day and would get the album. (When is yours coming out?) This is a great mix of styles. I like Gm7's comment about Rush, as I can hear some Lifeson-esque open chord voices that I love. :)

Great heavy vibe. Those high pithed guitar riffs are so clean and melodic. This does have lots on energy and drive . I get some vibes of Rush which is one of fav bands. Really cool sound and production too. This is a cool line " Every open window is a set of eyes". well done

That chorus hits hard, and the verses have such a cool 80s vibe, especially with the guitar tone. I really like how the song builds into that big, anthemic hook—it gives the whole thing a powerful, driving energy. The mix of atmosphere and grit works really well. Awesome track!

The sound and the vibe is ace!! Was drawn in by the title and the potential promise of shoes... Stayed for the rad tune.

The chorus is stupid catchy. I don't know what it means and I don't care. The simple staccato riff works really well, and I like the slightly more 80s feel to the tone with the chorus (and delay?).

Thoughts for March: "Looking for a lost key" could be "looking for what's lost" to lean on the slant rhyme: does/lost/was

Love the driving bass here, carries the song nicely so the guitar can get into glorious atmospheric territory. Another interesting hook, gonna have funny weather and singing shoes stuck in my head later I reckon!

Love that riff straight off the bat. The slower sludgy feel for the verse which then bursts into that chorus is perfect. Love the tone on that main riff btw. What are you using?

That 80s chorus effect on the guitar does give that "Fascination Street" by The Cure reference. And the juxtaposition with the modern sounding chorus is interesting. I like how the first time you hit the chorus, it's only sung once, just giving a taste before delving in with more repeats later in the song.

damn that chorus is catchy as hell. you’re making me want to sing “sing for your shoes” the production is great on this too. this sounds like a song that should already be a hit single. great screams in there. especially on “this tension”. perfect

All the angsty, crunchy goodness I want, with some truly excellent couplets. Dropping the guitars away for the first shouted words of the chorus is an inspired choice, and gives me all of the indignant rock and roll feelings. Well done!

Okay I think it is pretty fun that you got your first feedback from ChatGPT. If I only understood what it said, I'd probably agree. But.. I think your song is super cool. Really enjoying the "echo?" on the electric guitar. The slow power vibe goes very well with the dark lyrics. The whole notion of making someone sing for shoes is really inspired.
