Hand him a song. He'll tell you the truth.

You upload a song

One file. mp3, wav, or m4a. It stays private unless you decide otherwise.

He gets the words

He transcribes the vocal. He reads the tempo, the key, the energy, and where the sections change.

He can't hear like you. He hears words, structure, and numbers, and he never fakes the rest.

He reads it back to you

What it's about. Three or four moments quoted, and what each one does where it sits. How the words move, and the thing underneath they keep circling. Then one number for the song, read from its words — private to you unless you choose to show it. He can't hear the record, and he says so.
