Well....not a genre I'm well versed with.

I tend to think that the length of any song we write is creative license.
If that's how you want it then it's fine.

I'd submit that if one wants to hold the listeners attention throughout with this type of song (it's not 'rock' to me...more of the laid back, almost a big band type genre) and amount of lyrics I'd say cull it down to 3:30..
Of course, that would force culling of lyrics to tighten up the story/lyrical flow which may not fit your agenda for this tune. smile
But, that's just me.

FYI NOTE: I had to turn my laptop to full volume to achieve just a moderate listening level.

Good luck with your writing goals.....carry on
