I'm not particularly impressed by this song. It's certainly not terrible but neither is it fantastic. Conceptually it's not bad but lyrically it's kinda what I feared when they said they were going country. They're kinda silly and lacking any substance. That mandolin is totally unnecessary and doesn't add anything to the song and it seems very tacked on just so it can be "country". The "Hey Hey" parts seemed completely tacked on as well in order to give it a WSYCGH style hook.

I don't want to sound too harsh about it cause I certainly don't hate it, it just doesn't really do anything for me. The solo is very nice though. I wouldn't be particularly disappointed now if it didn't make the album. If it does make the album I guess it would be a decent enough album track but it's by no means a stand-out. Still hoping Make A Memory is the first single.
