Elevator Men
by Skub

I don't think that we see eye to eye
So why don't you pick on somebody your own size
I reach for the top and stretch the truth
I got more sole than you do in my shoes

Life had left me trampled underfoot,
Underwhelmed, perpetually overlooked
Now I walk a hundred stories tall
When I get a lift I'm up above it all

We are elevator men
And it's high time we ascend
Walking tall like we're the greatest

We are elevator men
and there are times we must pretend
that we are larger than life made us

I'd have been goood had the instruments not come in, but they make it so much better. It's a welcome genre change to the competition and I like it. Your lyrics and ending are noticeably more impactful this round, too. Nice work! It's like you're just showing off with that falsetto.

Beatboxing, awesome. Don’t really get a ton of this in these online contests. WOAH. You waited over a minute before using any instruments & you were already well on your way to a good review from me. Then you laid it down. Man you did a good job of setting the bar high just so you could come over & knock it up again halfway through your song when a lot of songs are getting predictable. I came into this contest REALLY liking 1 of your past songs...I’m going to leave it with small fanboy crush.

I remember when you used to use more instruments than just drums and bass, ooh, sick burn! Seriously, though, what happened to having some guitars or keys? Also your beatboxing is merely good, not amazing. The second chorus of the double chorus, at 2:36-ish, feels a bit anti-climactic, like the drums need to switch to a ride there or something new needs to come in (more vocals, tambo, something) to step up the energy/tension and distinguish that chorus from the one right before it. The ending is also just ok.
