I like it David. Only thing is that it sounded familiar and then I realized what it sounded like. Now I'm assuming it's a coinckydink but eventually I put my finger on it.

"You lock the door. Throw away the key. There's someone in my head but it's not me"

Pink Floyd - Brain Damage.

I still like it.

Bill, my bass player told me it sounded like pink floyd too. Shit, do you think it is too similiar?Honestly was not thinking of sounding or even mimicing floyd, but you are spot on.

Well from what I can see the chord progression is different. But the melody is pretty close - maybe too close...for comfort.

its spooky close . . . . but good none the less.

I do that too. I write something and wonder if I really wrote it or if it was just in the back of my mind from something I already heard.

Regardless of that there are plenty of differences and I do like it but I would try to change it up a bit.

I would especially try to change the melody. I am not sure if this info is correct but I heard you cant copyright a chord progression but the melody can be.

If you could copyright a chord progression then I suppose there would never be anymore blues tunes!

I'm hearing Floyd for the verse and i'm getting Lynard Skinard on the chorus. Free Bird i think. Sounds good anyhow and the vocals are nice not bad at all. keep it up.

OK, I am going back to the drawing board on this one. I can deal with ripping off Pink Floyd, but if the chorus sounds like freebird, that is just too much...

Thanks for all your input guys.
