Scott,
This is an excellent venture into new song territory; dark, personal, with well considered instrumentation that supports the song.
Your vocal proves again you have the chops to sing anything!
Other listeners are hearing shades of some greats in this; I`ll add another- the solo work of Scott Walker- this has his intensity and willingness to experiment.

Ezekiel's Storm,
The contrast between Verse and Chorus is wonderful.
The classical music-like Verse and the rock music-like Chorus are connected very naturally.
The chord progression is great.
I can also see the ingenuity in your vocals.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Very relatable for this card-carrying introvert, Scott. Excellent vocal. Opens with a dreamy feel and then the energy kicks up a notch on the chorus. Really nice work as always.
Regards,
Leon

Superb. Strong vibes of David Bowie, for me. That alternation of G major with E flat augmented is, of course, the underpinning structure of the song ... it works so well, in my view. The vocals are impressive ... not too much, not too little, just the right amount of passion, especially as this is a song about introverts. The arrangement is well balanced, and the lyrics are stellar. Bravo - loved it.

I am the opposite of introverted and LOVE (and understand) your song. And the little piano arpeggio in the chorus is wonderful. I think I need to steal that  The whole song has something of the late Pink Floyd, but with better vocals! Well done.

Scott,
That ethereal intro had me thinking I clicked on one of Mario's tunes it sounded great! Then when the drums came in it was like Pink Floyd with Bowie showed up! That repeating chord structure with the synth sounds really make the perfect vibe for you wonderful lyrics! I enjoyed your work here! Thanks, TB

Scott...finally an anthem for us introverts...the peaceful and deliberate nature of the music itself is an introverts answer for the chaotic nature of a lot of contemporary music...an interesting and well thought out piece...unique in subject matter and musical presentation...well done (though you really didn't need to hear me say that...did you?)

Hi Scott, Very impressive on all levels! Excellent vocal, and I love the way you built the track. I totally relate to the lyrics BTW, sounds like you wrote it about me

Interesting instrumentation on the first bit. Mellotron-ish while sounding modern. The drum and guitars give an excellent contrast for the "chorus". Vocals emote nicely. A bit retro, but not. Cool.
