Sink or Swim

Spring
You sprung upon the scene
with your in-season tangerines
all your hopeful talks
on the vernal equinox
enthusiastic and oh so green

Chorus
sink or swim
with vigor and vim
let your whimsy
out on a limb

Summer
all the hot summer nights
with in-season peach bites
you were happy to hold this
on the summer solstice
and the sun (has) never shown so bright

Chorus
sink or swim
with vigor and vim
let your whimsy
out on a limb

Autumn
I guess I saw you next fall
with American Football
Joan of Arc rocks!
Autumnal equinox
I'm always ready for the very next call

Bridge
If you think you're right about any of it
you're wrong, you're wrong
totally wrong
and if you think I'll stick around for any of it
I'm gone, I'm gone
totally gone

Winter
Discontent in the winter
As the morning frost hinders
Frank Zappa would notice
the longest night solstice
saw a tiger, removed the splinter

Chorus
sink or swim
with vigor and vim
let your whimsy
out on a limb

Here is a better melody. I like the call and response with the guitar. The guitars at 1:10 are crunchy and cool. I know this isn't production fight, but I wish the production was a tad better… it would give it that one more step ahead of the pack.

good energy and some really strong hooks and riffs, I particularly love the bridge which has possibly the catchiest tune of the round and I keep coming back to this song to hear it again! For my tastes, pretty much every guitar part would sound slightly better with the FX dialled back slightly but I think as ever this is just personal taste - all the chorus / modulation stuff just ends up sounding a bit muddy to me. The wah lead is admittedly quite fun though! Lyrics are solid too, I like "vigor and vim" a lot and the namedrops are fun.
