Sam: "This is a very cute entry. I didn’t really have many problems with it. I liked “Don’t need instructions, I’ll pave my own road” and “Don’t need a direction, just need to fly”, they definitely embodied freedom. You have a good sense of rhythm, rhyming and structure, so you’re off to a good start. The parts in parenthesis were unnecessary and detracted a little. Overall, it was an enjoyable read."
Mystery Judge: "The selection met the right criteria and did well. Actually, I really like this, I hear a kickass spoken word intro that would lead into something great. A little sing-songy but that is fine."
Lovesong: "This is a really cool intro; it’ll definitely start off an album nicely. The countdown was a bit cheesy but it can also work nicely depending on the context. I like the inspirational feel of the song and the imagery that you used was a very nice start. I think you can definitely push yourself more to really tap into your inner self to pull emotion out. I’d also advise you to double word placement and rhyme, little things like that can make all the difference."
Gotskill: "I’m getting a little ClarksonSlays and a little Element here. I love both of their styles. You’re right, the song is a bit cheesy, but it would work well as an intro to a pop album. My one main criticism is the forced rhyme with the “don’t need a guide” line. Never rhyme for the sake of rhyming because it will come off as forced and lazy. Nothing about this song blows me away, but it’s a solid first entry and shows a lot of potential."
Hugamari: "I'm not a fan of denotating where "instrumental" parts, or lacks thereof, are. Also, what bugs me is you said 1, 2, 3 instead of 3, 2, 1. I think the way you ordered it was so that you were talking about the first 3 songs on this album, but I still think 3, 2, 1...*goes to first song* would've been better. Besides for the general picking at needless things, I think you did the idea of an intro pretty well. Meter could use just a tad bit of work, but it's mostly there. I think you'll hit it on the head soon enough!"
Free
No more restrictions, I’ll break the mould
I can be both silver and gold
Don’t need instructions, pave my own road
Find a way to make myself glow
Don’t need a direction, just need to fly
Gonna let life take me for a ride
I’ll harness the passion, don’t need a guide
Ask any question that comes to mind
Soar with the blackbirds, over the seas
Do what I can to feel complete
Now it’s all about me, and how I live
‘Cause after everything….This is it.
(*Music cuts off, very quiet snaps*)
I can once and for all, be free
‘Cause finally I’m in charge of me
For the first time ever, I’ll lead
So we’re taking in off, in 1…2…3…
YAS I live for that line!. I like this a lot.
this is really amazing and I totally see why you've earned a really high score.
. Well damn. If this is what you're serving for an intro then your songs will completely snatch me up. You're the one to beat.
I posted nothing from PH7 out of fear, but I feel a lot better this time so it's so nice to hear this after I decided to share because it means a lot to me. 
. I think some people think I got on my knees to get as far as I did last time. I didn't and all I did was write. But aah well. I'm hoping to improve even more than last time. It took me a few rounds to get my rhyming and meter on point in PH7. This time I think I know what to do theoretically, and need to just come up with great substance.
