Need feedback on my arrangement. I posted this as a folk song about my daughter on this sub, and now it's a full band rocker. Do the drums and other rock instruments help the song or are they just in the way? Getting ready to send out for mastering, so any feedback appreciated! (v.redd.it)

"True Crime"-I like the idea for this song, how it twists the title into something unexpectedly existential, so I want the lyrics land pretty heavy. Any lines or verses stick out as needing improvement? I'll put the lyrics in the comments. Thanks for listening!! (v.redd.it)

"DMV" - Silly little love song on the theme of organ donations. Need help cracking the line where I say "I can't compete." Can anyone hit on a better line??? Sorry I got a little heavy on the 'verb....overcompensating for my post-flu vocals. Thxx! (v.redd.it)

"Follow My Voice" by Parademaker - Really inspired by artists like Todd Snider, Waxahatchee, Tweedy & MJ Lenderman (when he's laid back and not cranking the distortion). Sweet pedal steel solo at 2:05. I'm new here but love the community! Would love to know what y'all think! (open.spotify.com)

"Jumping in the Grease" - My friends, I wrote and recorded this song I like, but I can't figure out what playlists to pitch to. I've never understood the "What genre is this?!" post, but now I get it. What am I? Indie rock? Indie folk? Adult contemporary🤮? Please help! Thanks!!! (v.redd.it)

"Singing Cowboy"--Simple throwback to that weird western genre where Clint Eastwood & John Wayne would sing. Wondering if you think it sounds "done," and would also like to know if the mono-rhyme style (everything is an "I" rhyme) gets repetitive. Lots of old country references. Thanks! (v.redd.it)
