Not sure what it had to do with the music or style.

Overall Comments:

Valery - Hi there and thanks for sending in Oriental Love. It had a great Stones-y groove and electric rhythm guitar sound a la Street Fight.fn!J~Man· I-Iwlf--expectecLt~ hear Mick Jagger after the intro!

Drums were excellent as well, with a tight punchy sound and strong performance. Loved the interjections of the Leslie sounding guitar. The guitars worked very well in a minimalist way.

Melody

181 Good music in verses

o Verses could be stronger 181 Good music in choruses

Choruses Gould be stronger
Verses/Choruses sound too similar
Memorable "hook"
Hook not obvious enough
No stated melody, per se. More implied by the chord voicings ..

Structure

D Intro too long

181 Well-written structure

Good sectional contrast
Not enough sectional contrast
Could use a bridge
Moved well from section to section.
Lyric

First line makes me want to hear more
Engaging
Cohesive
Good use of imagery DRhymes well
Communicates emotion to listener
Lacks focus
Unique
Too abstract
I don't understand it
Too predictable
Too many cliches
Awkward phrasing (see comments below)
Vocal does help to sell song
Vocal does not help to sell song
The viola (?) added a cool touch to the arrangement, as did the fiddle later. The electronic bleeps were another fun touch. I wasn't quite sure about the breakdown section near the end, which seemed to lose some steam & was happy when the guitars reentered. Great stuff, Valery! No lyrics involved. There were some spoken bits near the end but I couldn't tell what they were saying.
