Oh wow. So many listens in less than a day - thank you!

Rob: thank you. Good to hear that the productions seems ok! Thanks for giving it a whirl!

Ember: thanks so much for your perceptive comments. The whisper, as bluage notes, was a little unintentional ... but it seems to have worked anyway, haha. Thank YOU so much for listening!

bluage: especially in music, I often (not always, haha) find that, if one doesn't expose one's heart at least in the majority of it, if not all - then the song doesn't always carry. I say "not always" because there are people who do just fine without that ... I don't really seem to be one of them. But that may be just me, haha. Anyway, thank you so much for your insightful comments! let's see if "the dream" does come true - who knows, miracles have happened before ;-) Thanks for listening!!!

David: thanks for yet another thorough and perceptive review. "Life to shelve" was kinda forced on me by needing to rhyme, non-negotiably so, with "myself", here. Yes, it's kinda forced, but, for the life of me I could not find a better rhyme, haha! As for the "You" apparent change of POV, well ... the "You" was meant to be a general "You". A better fit, grammatically, would have been "But I won't change just because / ONE wants me to". I just thought that that would sound far too contrived, so I wrote "You", instead - that's all. I was worried, justly so it seems, that it would not work so well, but ... in the absence of a better idea, I think I'll leave it like that, for now at least! Thanks so much for listening - it's always a joy to read one of your reviews, because they always show that you've listened to the song in depth and have come up with insightful, practical feedback!!! Glad you enjoyed it, therefore :-)
