I've decided I like everything except the bridge. That's part of where I hear some hair band influence. If they would have just gone from the guitar part to the soft part, it would make the song that much better (but I guess he couldn't really do that because it's not his song). However, acoustic and subdued, it would probably sound superb. Spot on about wanting an acoustic version. I’ve decided I like everything except the bridge.

I love the Cookie voice, but the song isnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t doing it for me. à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Overwroughtà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  is a good descriptor of the majority of the song. It doesnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t mesh with the slowed down part of the song (which is my favorite part of the song). The lyrics arenà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t grabbing me either.. What does à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“naked lightà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  mean?? And à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Shine Onà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  why am I not feeling that lyric? Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m still listening to it.. trying to let it grow on me, but ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a rather plain song. Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m not feeling DCà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s vibe in this song and Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m still preferring the Magic Rainbow song. He had great up and down vocals in TOML that meshed well together. I hope there are better songs on the album. All of that aside, I appreciate the hard work and long hours DC has put into his recordings. I hope he does well! Just not sure Light On is radio friendly.. Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve listened about 15 times and I still canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t sing it back.. other than Light On and Shine On. Hmm.. first let me say..

Reminded me of some songs (from the 80's? Can't quite place it). Again, like Archie's song, a little too generic and processed, and the vibe is a bit on the wrong side, it would have been much better if it sounded more raw. Overall, not bad, I can live with it as his first single, although I suspect this song might sound better when he sings it live.

If I wasn't so happy right now with the new single I might be tempted to track down the source for this onpouring of Cook haters. Oh, who cares, I'll go sing along to Light On some more.

I'm not in that camp... okay, I must tend to real life. Regardless, exciting to have new DC music!

That could be anybody singing. I think they just took the safest route for the first single and who's to say they're wrong. The worst part of the song is the stale production. I guess I expected more from an A level producer. I listened to it again, so I’ll add very radio friendly but very generic. That could be anybody singing.

The ending is really interesting, 'cause it leaves me feeling as if the song should just keep going, which it will when I get it on Repeat in my iTunes.
