Scott, I agree with all the others, this is a really well written song. Your voice is excellent and clear. To me, the song has great classic country appeal.

I probably heard some of your earlier versions but I don't recall this particular song.

As constructive criticism, and I can only speak of my thoughts for this song, I felt at times the vocal phrasing did not follow the beat of the music closely. Some areas seemed to rush against the music where times, it was just the opposite and the vocal trailed the beat. That may be intentional and if so, I noticed it. However, again for me, as a classic country example, the vocals did not flow as I tend to think it would.

The only other thing I noticed was several places the drum roll seemed out of place, for example, around 1:03 after "blooming at the sun".

Highlights for me are first, your voice fits superbly in the classic country genre and I also particularly enjoyed the bass/steel intro and overall chord progression. The vibe of the song reminded me of something Marty Robbins would have recorded.

I think your song with your vocals have a lot of potential. I enjoyed it a lot and don't think for a moment that my reflections lessen my enjoyment of your production a bit. I plan to listen to this a lot more.

Enjoyed it and thanks for posting. You and Rob4580 should consider a co-write and duet at some point. You and he have both done excellent classic country arrangements. You guys could certainly turn out something first rate.
