      @@yvc9 Opinions are based on emotion most of the time and I honor your opinion. I'm coming from experience of being a club DJ from 1983 to 1993. I still have over 1,000 vinyl records and over 700 compact discs just in storage just from the '80s and '90s, let alone 2,200 newer music for the last 2.5 decades on digital downloads on my computers. I see your point on a slight tempo on both tracks! I spent an hour playing them and overlapping them. There is tolerable mixing between the two, but not back-to-back if you're putting down there beats on a dance floor. My apologies if I offended you.

    I live in a city full of people I don't know
    People riding highways from their workplace to their home
    I raise my hand, I see they are different than us
    But I only wanna hold your hand, my whole damn life.
    [Chorus]
    I can picture a place, where everybody feels it too
    It might be fiction but I'm seeing ahead
    There's nothing I wouldn't do
    There's nothing I wouldn't do
    Cut me a slice of the apple that I grow
    My work is valid, I can't prove it but I know
    A woman screams, she's looking for meaning behind
    A man who'll make her cry, her whole damn life
