1Overall Description
This is a nice uptempo rock tune with really nice vocals - perfect voice for this style of music. The singing is right on the mark throughout, great job! (sounds a little like Mark Knopfler at times...) As far as the writing goes - both lyrically and musically - I think the verses are far stronger than the chorus. The chorus starts out nicely, but then turns out to be a bit too long winded for it to be really catchy, it feels more like another chorus. I kind of expect the "On no" bit to repeat after four measures, but instead I get what sounds a little like a bridge. But as I said, the verses are pretty much perfect when it comes to writing and delivery. I won't really comment on the lyrics - they sound great, and that's pretty hard to achieve. The actual lyrical content is secondary.
 
2Creativity Description
Well, I can't really say it's exceedingly original, but it doesn't *feel* very formulaic, although perhaps it is. That's probably because it feels so personal. It has soul.
 
3Arrangement Description
Instrumentation and arrangement are excellent, and the fact that all of it sounds like it came out of a keyboard doesn't really distract. If i heard it on the radio, in the car, I probably wouldn't even notice. Saxophones and lead guitars sound pretty are well played and blend in perfectly. The crowd noise is a nice touch - it probably would sound something like that if you did this with a live band.

Sorry, I meant "it feels more like another *verse*", not another chorus. Obviously.
