No cut tags

Jan. 12th, 2020

I'm going to go ahead and tag this one "praise genre but good" because I'm worried we might never use that tag again, and while hilarious, that seems a little sad. It's decent. A major is good for guitarists and string pals; the verse/refrain structure is pretty "modern," and I like that they say "okay stanza 1 is immediately followed by stanza 2, all the other verses you go to the refrain afterwards."

All the verses are in quote marks, even though they're all God talking to humans, you'd think they could just leave those out.

The mapping of words to notes is very loose, which gets it the "irregular" meter tag.

The rhyme scheme starts out decent, we make it to "shame/name" in verse 3, and then in verse 4 "name/pain." So not only a weird slant rhyme, but also duplicating one we already had, ouch!
