Spider to the Fly
by Ross Durand

A
I’m sorry you have to die
Said the spider to the fly
What beautiful eyes you have
What beautiful wings
And I hope you understand I had to say those things
And I’m sure you’d have said them too
If you had to by and by
So I’m sorry you have to die
Said the spider to the fly

B
Nature, red in tooth and claw
Subtle hues you never saw
You never see it comin’ from the corner of your eye
‘Dja ever wonder which one is you
After all I put ya through
Cause I often wonder if Im the spider or the fly

C
I guess I’d rather be a grasshopper and bounce away from here
Or a cricket on a hearth singin songs for you to hear
Or a butterfly and flit up to the sky
Cause it seems too complicated by far to be a spider or a fly
Yeah life seems much to hard if you’re a spider or a fly

I LOVE this song! However a perfect score on a not so difficult song places you down here on my list. I feel you really played it safe, way too safe. This is a short song and all that really changes are the chords on the acoustic guitar. I just can’t rate you as high as the others while they worried about bass lines and drum beats. The lyrics are excellent. I was hoping there’d be more Nur Ein everybody ties and everybody advances like last year. I hate to see you go. Nice little song, just not ambitious enough, as opposed to Swilington which was a little too ambitious. Good stuff though! I heavily suggest submitting some Nein songs!

Everyone likes ukeleles (and if they don't they're idiots) and the intro in your song makes the sound feel much richer when your guitars and stuff comes in. Yeah, nice.

Frank: Lots of good stuff well executed here, but there is too much slow draggy stuff as well and it doesn't click with me, mainly the last minute of the song which is also quite reminiscent of the opening section. Not the right move methinks.
