Being able to write anything that comes close to a Bacharach/David tune is a talent. And this truly delivers. An excellent write - melody AND lyric.

A perfect backing track. The vibes touches are icing on the cake. And the strings are done "just right". The muted trumpet - nice!! Nice drums accents, too. A lot of thought went into this. On my 4th listen. Very few things make me do that!!

A nice vocal. (I agree that the vocal is slightly louder than it needs to be)

Excellent.
