   Hello,   
      
   At first listening it got  7  /10. Now it's only 6/10 !   
   (I give the new scores without knowing the old one).   
   I think I will not give any lower score for the tracks on this CD ...   
      
   There's not much adventure in this track, nothing very special   
      
   The song could have been stronger by one of the following   
   (not that I know it any better than DF himself of course)   
       - somewhat faster rhythm   
       - a bridge with some new idea in it, perhaps inspired on the bass/guitar   
         ideas introduced in the very last seconds of the track   
       - a stronger organ solo (now it's rather a lesson in advanced chords   
   again) at the end;   
           however the solo ENDS in a more adventurious way   
      
   However the guitar solo in this track is a very nice one ; it is the best   
   part of the song ;   
   just a pity that is somewhat spoiled by that kind of shouting at the   
   beginning   
      
   I don't give much criticism on texts here (being non-native) but the chorus   
   "I love love love you" is not a break-through new idea.   
      
   The handclaps at the end bring some more adventure in the song at the end.   
   Four people are needed for that...   
      
   And personally , I don't like some much the "sus4" chords at the intro.   
      
   6/10 : it's still OK ; I don't skip the track while listening.   
      
      
   Any comments ??
