Just heard the upcoming single "Here Comes Goodbye". I'm no expert, but I'm guessing it'll do just fine on the charts. Seriously, I'm such a wanna-be snot, as I listened through it my first thought was I think I've heard the music before, sort of. Then I got over my uncut, unpublished self and listened again. Then again. It's really pretty darn good.
I dig it when a melody pays off great in the verse and you're thinking no way they top it in the chorus. Then, just to prove there's a reason why I'm unpublished and uncut, the go right on and kick it's fat fanny. Great way to treat a hook too. Jealousy abounds gentle readers.
Chris Sligh is one of the co-writers. His story behind the song can be found here:

Funny and encouraging to learn that their process and ours isn't all that different-less some notable exceptions: writing a probable number one hit, having a publisher, getting Jo Don to listen to something, having Dan Huff like it, etc.
Other than that it's almost identical. Really. Shut up all of you.
