“Save Your Breath”
Josh Dorr
Written by Josh Dorr and Jason Mizelle
An fairly egregious example of subject-verb disagreement in the start of the chorus distract from the overly bold lyrics being sung by an overly meek vocalist.
Maybe this is the product a bro-country talent search that scoured small town high schools or something.
It’s bad.
Grade: D
Ooph! This song is just lyrically gross. It’s the cousin to Jason Aldean’s “Burnin’ It Down.”
This is just boring and when a song about sex bores you you have a problem
D+. It’s better than Burning It Down only due to him being a better singer than Jason. I’m surprised you guys haven’t bothered with the songs from Canaan Smith Cam heck why not Parmalee provided Cam song is the only one I like.
Save your money, time, mind … Pass on it even if offered as a free download.
The lyrics, honestly, don’t really bother me.
No, this song’s greatest offense is how painfully milquetoast it is all around. The production is anonymous and just doesn’t compliment the anything-but-subtle small talk lyrics.
And Dorr’s vocals lack any sort of inflection or texture. They’re wrought with the same, unfortunate hot-and-cold kitchen sink dynamic that may make for competent reads, but little more. Dorr would also benefit from learning to enunciate words much more often. When he sings “Yeah, I know they got a lot to say…”, I had no idea what he was singing until I looked up the lyrics myself. Same with the grammatically offensive lyric already exposed in this review.
D might arguably be a little too harsh for something that’s just the dictionary synonym of “milquetoast”. But it definitely deserves nothing better than a C-. I’ll say D+.
To be fair, I can barely understand the lyrics of most current singers. Too much sound.
