Hi Brad,

This is really excellent. The melody is outstanding. I found the whole song very, very engaging.

What really stood out to me was how you've used the AABA format so well. Personally, I call this lyric format (two phrases + two phrases that repeat in each A-section) the "Close To You" format because it's how David and Bacharach structured the lyrics in "Close To You". The format reduces lyrics to the bare necessities and this, in turn, increases memorability no end. It is an incredibly effective way to set words to music.

All the best with FAWM

Regards,
Noel
