Very U2??? That was not intended, but certainly is a good thing!

Yeah, I hate-- no, abhor-- my voice, but it was my song, so I sang it instead of my bassist, who normally sings.

The lyrics are pretty personal to me, so it's hard to think of changing them. So I hope I get a second opinion.

What do you mean re: melody / syllables? I don't really see a connection.

As for "catchiness", I'm just happy that I was able to write and record a half-decent song! I've been trying for a loooong time now, and it always seems more and more daunting of a task. I feel like I should just give up and go to a studio....
... and that's all I have to say about that.
