I really like the lyrics to this.. please pass that on to your collaborator. Conceptually, the thought that we are who we are for those reasons never occurred to me before. The ability to make an audience think new thoughts is highly desirable in lyrics and in all types of story telling (such as video)

I like the way you flowed from verse to verse, not pausing at the end of a line as is so common. That adds interest to your presentation, and keeps it from becoming "sing-songy"

My gut feeling is that the lyrics are more than a little introspective and might have been served well with a song in a minor key or at least with a less bouncy and uplifting tempo. It left me with what I call the "happy-sad face" in which my whole face is lit up but my smile is turned down at the corners.

Having said all that, there *is* an upbeat feel to the lyrics in the knowledge that all things from the past work together for good in the manifestation of our current selves.. and I'm guessing that's more of what you were portraying in your music. If so, good job.

I really respect your whole-hearted passion for your music. I can't muster anything close to it.
