Description
Devil's Got a Brand New DanceHiding from the sunshine
tucked into the night
candles on the corner
bring your face in to the light
smoothest of the talkers
with the moves that you learned to survive
in a groove with the lambs on your altar
that would die just to watch you jive
Devil's got a brand new dance
The devil's got a brand new dance
Devil's got a brand new dance
and it looks like you
You say we all took a dip in the ocean
but lost control in the tide
we all start with hearts that are open
till the water sweeps them aside
we all get a little pleasure
laying in the bed of a lie
we all get a little bit higher
on the skeletons that we climb
Devil's got a brand new dance
The devil's got a brand new dance
The devil's got a brand new dance
and it looks like you

I'm not very easily impressed by music (or at least I like to think so) but this, I enjoyed very much!
I checked out a few other songs of yours as well, and you seem like a pretty awesome band.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoy it!
It's a vulnerable position to be in as a vocalist at times, because some people might just not like you no matter how many years and hours you've spent dedicated to bettering your craft.
So all in all positive feedback certainly helps thank you!
Every artist should be creating art just for the sake of expressing themselves, which is certainly why I do it. That being said we all are human and enjoy being respected and reassured in what we are doing.
So thanks again!

you're very welcome!
Your music, and voice, is very inspiring!
And I know; I've been singing a lot myself, and even though I'm not in a band or anything I always get the feeling that I want everyone to like what I do, when in reality I know not everybody will...
I guess the thing is to keep doing what you do best!

As a song it works nicely and it sounds better than a lot of the stuff on the radio these days (even though the voice seems a bit forced at times?), but as a poem it doesn't read as well. This is mostly due to the lack of punctuation/pauses of any sorts. I myself am not too big on that when I write poetry, but then I often start the lines with big letters to at least give a false indication of a break. There's also some grammatical errors I think? Such as on the corner vs. in the corner, and into vs. in to. The wording sounds a bit forced at times too, but that said, I like the theme and title. But I liked it a lot more with the music than without.

Thanks for the feedback.
As far as my voice and the wording being forced I guess that is up to everyone's personal interpretation.
As far as "on" the corner vs "in" the corner, this may be a cultural confusion. In American English speech on the corner is very common. This phrase is even used in many other songs.
Ex: "Down on the corner" by CCR.

I know I'm writing British, but I really thought it was a grammatical thing there too? I googled it, and there grammar page said "In / at / on the corner: We say 'in the corner of a room', but 'at the corner (or 'on the corner') of a street'", so yes, it is a valid phrase, but not necessarily common to use about a candle in a corner. Unless that candle's hanging out there instead of standing there on a shelf. Right? Or am I confused?

I was using "Candles on the corner."
to refer to a street lamp such as one you would find on a street corner. I really don't want to dwell too much on grammar for this piece especially. I find common or folk language more engaging in certain respects.
