First of all, I like the way you seamlessly incorporate the elements of a fairy tale into a modern story. The elements works well in both environments.

I think what I like the most about this song is the way you incorporate hooky intros, outros and other accents. Most of us would be content to write a song that works at the basic level of chords plus lyrics, but you consistently find ways to expand the song to add a little more audio interest. Your songs are like an easter egg hunt, in which unexpected things keep showing up!

I also like the energy in this song. Maybe its the drums.. they always make me think of Genesis. I especially like the power that surfaces at 2:51. Chills.

You always manage to surprise and inspire me.

Hi Pat.
Many thanks for the listen and comprehensive review.
The guy who I watched and worked with in the early days taught me so much. He always tried to make each section of the song different in some small way, to keep people interested. He said it's what makes the difference between a demo and a professional production and when you listen to commercial tracks, you can see what he meant. It takes a lot of time and effort though, so it's great that you noticed and picked it out.
The drums? Yeah, Phil Collins and that legendary drum sound. I value that comparison more than you'll realise.
Once again, many thanks for looking in on this one - greatly appreciated.
Cheers, ROG.
