Nice. And that "bah bah bah" refrain ... going to flesh it out with lyrics? Perhaps oddly, I like it wordless. Piano sounds great.

That's a real sweet song. I too like the 'ba-ba's, don't you dare change them.

You're the best songwriter on here, I think. You have a distinctive sound and your chord changes are very well done. They are timed just right, which can actually be the trickiest part of writing a truly good pop song. Your vocals are good and there's a sweet sense of melancholia in the melodies. However, I have two complaints about your videos:

1. You should make sure that your face is obscured by your all of the time, instead just most of the time. It adds a cool mystique.
2. Let your band members play more! What are you, Paul McCartney?
