Stuck in a rut

A New Tomorrow The Frontliners

I feel like I'm hearing a cross between Billy Joel and Ray Davies, sort of the up beat take on rut sticking, Vocal delivery is spot on, such a pleasant melody.

I enjoy the melodic change from the verse, super pop, to the chorus, a mild dose of serious reality. There is nothing earth shattering going on, but one has to appreciate the solid songcraftmanship, and the performance and sounds are quite complimentary, for some reason the synth in the chorus is what works best.

I'm not wild about the guitar, but it is not objectionable either. It certainly does not keep the song as a whole from being just plain likable.
