Yeah, that guitar is a good match for a story song! I like your choice of a drum track for this, as it provides a really interesting cadence. It also sounds a bit like a train, which works well with your main image.

The wordplay is good too... Daniel is apparently one of those guys who rolls in more than one way. I kept expecting lines that expanded on the verbal possibilities; but in retrospect, I think you were wise to play that card the way you did.

Aspects of the song reminded me of Dylan, and also of Paul Simon... but in the end, that distinctive voice makes it completely yours.

I typically hold people in relatively high esteem when they know their passion and make sacrifices to live it. But I thought it was presumptuous that Daniel would expect any kind of royalties from your song, and that piece of information makes me think a little less of him. I suppose that's just how he rolls...
