So much to like here, Mark.  As usual, your production is impeccable, your vocals are compelling, and your message is accessible without being cliché. One thing I would suggest is to change the last line of the chorus.  Based on the rest of the lyrics, it's incongruous because it suggests that there's something wrong (or at least that's how I'm reading it), when actually everything is very right.  But I like the mend/pretend rhyme & rhythm, so how about "there's no more need to pretend.."?  It just removes the ambiguity, at least to my ears.  But that's nit-picky, isn't it? :-)

This is a killer song Mark.  Full stop.  Nice job.

Wow. I'm so amazed how this sounds (like every song you create) like its slready on the radio. Such a good funky~ish groove and completely danceable - totes ma-goats!!! Are you submitting your songs gor sync placement, bc you make songs they'd want.

@mark-magram well good luck!! At least you're playing the lottery doing something you enjoy!! I will keep my finners crossed for you! It's tough to make placements,  but I wouldn't be surprised with the likes of YOUR skills -- keep plugging!! 🤘🏼😎🔥

Fantastic again. This is YOUR LANE! Best vocal sound--fits perfectly. Do I ... maybe a bit ... Autotune?

This Love Is Real
Music and Words by Mark Magram (2024)

I just wanted peace of mind
Never did expect to find
a love like this
I was afraid to take a risk
You made me put my guard down

Every love I've ever known,
Left me feeling so alone
I kept my faith
Theses choices were my own mistakes
I knew I could do better

(ch)
This love is real
There's no way I can deny it
Searching for a flaw but I can't find it
My heart is on the mend
There's no reason to pretend that wrong is right

In guess that I convinced myself
The road to heaven went through hell
I never knew
Until you showed me what was true
Love can be so easy

If I knew then what I know now
I would have turned myself around and walked away
From anything that brought me pain
But I guess better late than never

(ch)

(br)
All of my life I'd been living a lie
With a love like a drug that would make you feel high
Until you crash back down to earth and you fight and you cry
Until one merciful night you came into my life

(ch)
