Wow, those falsetto leaps just slay me. Reminds me of Maroon 5 with She Will Be Loved. I'm on my tenth listen, still entranced. Def hit material.

Deej,
A Big WOW for this! All the accolades that you have recieved on this are well deserved.
A beautifully written song. Professional level writing.
The production is gorgeous! The subtle combination of guitar and piano is REALLY well done. The simple additions along the way are well paced and well placed.
The vocal is "star-quality" level. Extraordinary.
Excellent mix. Everything about this is top-shelf.
(I thought a full, big string section would be nice in the bridge)
Again.... WOW!

Deej,
It is a beautiful tune reminiscent of Wham's "Last Christmas".
I agree with Janne.
So much excellency in this package, a song and performance usually heard in the final of a song contest or singing contest like Idols, in both I would give my vote to you.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

DJ,
This is a masterpiece.
As good anything I have heard on the radio.
Brilliant lyrics, music, and performance, with a truckload of guts and soul.
That part where your voice goes up--on stay, etc--is outrageously good.
A touch of Ed Sheeran going on here, but totally you. Love this man.

this is special
[quote=Greg Johnson]WOW!! So well done. So emotive....great vocal. Some really powerful lyrics. Particularly like:
I see the key to my apartment door
on the countertop next to the ring you wore
Great way to tell the story!
I agree with what Greg says here,
my small suggestion is that after the falsetto on you say it's gone, maybe it's gone
I'd put a short instrumental part because to me it takes away some of the impact
of the falsetto on the chorus (which is just great)
just my two cents
a great write, great melody, great vocal
Kenny

David and Kenny,
Thanks much to you both--really, really kind comments, and so very much appreciated.
David, I think that's the first time anyone has referred to one of my tunes as a "masterpiece"--you're being way too kind, but it's such a wonderful thing to read. Nice of you to say.
Kenny, really interesting suggestion regarding inserting the instrumental before the second chorus. Didn't think of that, but I see where you are going. Will definitely give that some thought. Thanks much for the feedback.
My best to both of you,
Deej

What everyone else said - you really know how to put together a song, and emotionally sell it.
Well done.

This song works so well in every way!! Take care. Greg Greg said this so perfectly from my point of view. Such a sad but beautiful song and a vocal that just soars. What a fabulous listen! Alan
