glennny- Deified

Verse 1
I've been going down and up the stairs
I've been thinking that you just don't care
I worship you no matter what you do to me
I've forsaken all my pride and dignity

Pre-Chorus
you've got me drinkin' and thinkin'
there's nobody before you

Chorus
you're deified in my eyes
I can never deny you

Verse 2
Happiness will often fall and rise
I wonder where we're gonna land tonight
I worshipped you even when you were full of wrath
fell into ruin, even though I did the math

Pre Chorus
Chorus
Bridge
I want to talk to you every night
you are outta sight
come unto me, and I will unto thee
and I can see the light

I am not into this at all when it is wheeling out palindrome after palindrome in the verses, it just feels like "how many of these can I cram in?" rather than "how do I make a good song that includes these ideas?" but the pre-chorus and chorus are excellent and win me back over again, as does the harmonised palindrome riff right at the end which sounds great.

The immediate thing that stand out about this is that it's in a key which suits your voice. I'm on the fence about all the vocal processing, but for the most part it sounds good, just slightly lacking clarity. I initially had this ranked below Cavedwellers because I was blinded by all their shiny guitars, but I prefer this as a song. It bounces along at a satisfying rate, all the sections have good hooks, I was almost thinking you should have saved some hooks for later rounds since this song is packed with them. Even without the vocals it's trademark Glennny with all the licks and guitar harmonies. Good fun and upbeat. Noice.
