Music Nation is a Music Video Competition for Independent Artists

Band=Tofer Brown **** Song=Someone To Love

OK, I'm not gonna' be a kiss ass or a yes man here.  Its perfectly geared for todays market and also demonstrates the American obsession with youth, in the geeks artist pick.  You're a young man, seemingly fragile.... "seemingly," so I will go easy.  Its a perfect product, like every other product out there, Bravo for that.  The lyrics are, the same thing that has been said in almost every song ever written.  I look for artists that push, bend and obliterate the envelope, ... not adhere to it... so very PERFECTLY, as is done here.  I could sell it "as could any decent label."  As a man who changed music forever once said... "Break On Through."

-I do see that potential in you, yet it (This product) has been targeted, PERFECTLY, to fit into what sells TODAY/BRANDING.  Are we business men or artists... I am quite sure you can do more than this.  You have my every confidence in that regard.  In fact this very song would have much more impact with guitar and vox only!!!  At a slightly slower, yet varying tempos at the chorus and other sections...

**Off Topic**
A great artist also once sang about "Coming down the mountain... meeting a child with pin eyes."  -With such passion and raw energy it was stunning.  I helped start this guys career and I wonder, at what point he lost it .... (or just sold his name to say "yes" like a trained seal, reaching for a treat) ....& lost that raw mother fucking electrifying passion, that changed the world in part.... I see him, I hear him and...  YOU KNOW WHAT... I MISS HIM!... And I loved the guy... we all battle our own egos, which is what killed this fellows possible huge, legendary career possibility, (beyond what has been established thus far....) this fellow  who works best within.. the original unit as "A PART OF," an essential flavor, yet not the entire show.... I can guarantee you a reunion tour from this guys original band soon as cash is now needed in a big way, (and cash has an amazing way of bringing people who hate each other back together... "The Police," for instance) can you say sold out world tour...  I am also partially responsible for this guy's career today, in no small part... so use caution before hitting the delete key or getting pissy... as, labels drop artists all the time, "just because"...  Especially those who have been give 2nd, 3rd and fourth chances, due to personal problems.  And music site experiments can disappear with a phone call, from the right billionaire, so exercise extreme caution before throwing you weight around here, my friend as... this is a small pond and really an experiment, that is bleeding cash, so far.  Partially my cash and others who are growing tired of the outlay, with no return on said investment.
**End Off Topic**     

Topher: Yes its a catchy tune, and I am sure you will do well.  The strings are a bit over done in the mix, I would strip them out all around and let the core, guitar and vocals do the talking, with minimal drums and let the bass do a bit more grooving, behind you.  Although, honestly.... I hate everything about this PERFECT PRODUCT!  Its as disposable as a used Bic Razor... and this is applauded in today's world.  So on that level good job, CONGRATS.  You hit the mark, bullseye...   I don't hate you, but take a chance and blow some minds... its in you, I see that, fuck the templates... create your own and let others follow the template you create.. for decades.  Good effort, but its as conformist as the massacre at Jones Town.  Don't be a COG... BE the machine.. with bearings made from...
