Steve - Excellent song. You've got a great voice. I love the lyrics and the harmonies. And I can actually hear the joy in your voice when you say your "friend sat by your side".
Thanks!

Well done for the structure of this one Steven – particularly for being able to compose the verse pattern so that it resolves and does not endlessly cycle.
I actually like the lead gtr work on this one.
The violin part is what is. Not sure it adds that much but respect for being able to play it that well.
Now here you are sounding like you mean it.
You’ll have the rhyme police after you if that been/friends is intended as a rhyme Steven
Are there any synonyms for friends? Quite a few different occurrences here in what is not a very long lyric.
Overall, well-paced and with a catchy chorus to boot.
Regards,
Marc
