A beautiful, honest sounding story. Love the dobro in the background, well placed, well played.
I hear an influence of Roger Waters in different aspects of the song.
I'd really like to hear more of this story telling!
Nice riff throughout the song, communicating a sense of wait and suspension, and anxiety too, when it ascends for a couple of times: these features perfectly match the lyrics. Songcrafting skills in full display here.
I liked your vocal melody. It was original, but still accessible to the first-time listener. The lyrics seemed good at first listen, and your voice has a cool classic rock tonality that I like. Reminds me of a cross between Bob Seeger and Eddie Money.
I like the sound of the keyboards and the rhythm guitar, I also like the unique vocals, sounds a bit like the Talking Heads.
