Terrific building arrangement and melody.
The non BIAB elements really liven the track.
I often wonder how much of any given lyric of yours is satire because, as with many things, there're a couple of ways to read things. I did wonder at holding hands while climbing for instance.
In the 1st chorus "And oh..." is buried by that big change to start the section.
David, is the vocal a comp? I ask because there were a few moments that may have been sudden cuts etc.OR it could be the media player being a little glitchy.
I was really drawn to the string arrangement - it emphasized the build really well.
Classic Snyder.
