I would consider this more of a composition than a mere song, and I say that as a huge compliment. I loved the simplicity of it. But is it deceptively simple, and moving. Great job.

The lyrics are sincere and moving as David said - no red flags in the English for me. Congratulations... if it does become your "best song ever" you can be proud! Robert

I really enjoyed your vocals and the style you've chosen for the song. You made excellent choices for the instrumentation. I got a feel from this as something the Moody Blues would do which is an indication this is a stellar composition. I'll be back for several more listens. Enjoyed this one a lot.

Really, really catchy (you can sing along with it in 15 seconds) but still fresh. Mandolin works perfectly. I hear the "Moody Blues" reference as someone mentioned and some mellow old Stones (As tears go by) vibe. GREEEAAAAT STUFFF!!! Take care. Greg

Noel96 Veteran Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 20,565 Australia	molsenhouse, This is wonderful! Your writing is incredibly strong. I take it from your comments that English is a second or third (or more) language for you. No-one who listens to this song would be able to pick that up. Your use of English is every bit equal to that of a native speaker. And then there's the arrangement and mix... these are absolutely superb. Is this you singing? It's a first class performance and interpretation of the lyrics. I thoroughly enjoyed listening. Best regards, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2026 audios on Soundcloud
