This one has been pitched to a new collaborator -- someone who I think might be a good match for the kind of music I'm feeling motivated to produce these days. She's a bass player (like me) so I've left out bass for her to add. She might add another verse, but this is all me for now.

Very promising. I'm looking forward to hearing the full version with bass.
loving the uke, and look forward to hearing added bass. great lyrics with a lot of depth that could be interpreted in so many different ways, i dread to think who may be playing with the big toys and making a mess.
Lovely song! Well done, mate!
Loved the uke too! Well played and recorded!
The guitar and drums puts a tasty flavor to this. Fine vocal melodies as well!

Me too ;)
Well, my collaborator doesn't have time for this right now, so I'll have to do the bass by myself. I'm still mulling whether this needs another verse or something else in the middle.
I think I'm going to try this technique (https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=22964.0) for recording vocals.
Great song, Ted - really love the dynamics, and the uke sounds fab. And thanks for that link - I might have to try a technique or two myself!
Top class song Ted
Congratulations
Tommy
Soo...
What are your thoughts among the following options:
- Leave the structure as is and finish the production (same length ~3 min)
- Extend the section after the first chorus with a short solo of some sort (3:30-ish)
- Add a third verse (4:30-ish)
I have an idea for a third verse, but I'm not sure the song needs one to establish the idea.
I'm not much of a soloist.
Beautiful song man, I think that the structure sounds great as does your vocals.
I think that a bass line would certainly fatten out the sound and if you were to add a solo, I think the perfect sound would be that of a wind up music box. I'm sure that you could find a synth patch with that effect on it.

Interesting idea. I have a Kaossilator-type thing that I can use to MIDI into Garage Band...
"Everybody that you hate deserves it"
might be my favorite sentence ever! 3rd verse would have to be pretty damn good. I'd add bass but not sure about anything else.
Nice!
Rock on!
