Good on ya Eddie!!! Hope it works out.
To piggy back on MABs point, we do hear a lot longer songs, and tolerate them more here, but I learned quickly from MAB unless requested from the artist for a song for the Texas Country market, I will always try to write to the Nashville bar as best I can.
Saw an interesting tidbit/song study the other day... Over the last three years 97% off of top ten country songs have had more than two choruses...
In the last 2 years every top ten country song has gotten to the chorus in under 48 seconds WITH the new exception now being "Burning House" by Cam which took 64 seconds, but still held to the 3-4 minute rule, interesting study as even with the prolonged time at the beginning, there is no instrumental or significant break between the chorus and the bridge. Pretty interesting...
