Catchy chorus. Reminds me somehow of Barenaked Ladies... Simple arrangement works well, good vocals, although I agree with rayc that some timing with backing vocals could be tidied.

Thanks, Janne.

I considered starting the third verse also with "If you're like me." (That was the original title of the song.) But I changed my mind because the third verse has a different purpose: it really clarifies where "I didn't see it coming / I'll hate to see it go" comes from, and what it means.

Yes, the timing with the doubled vocal could be tidied, esp in the first chorus. I guess it is a backing vocal but I just thought of doubling the vocal to make it sound fuller in the mix. And it does, but the timing is inexact. Sometimes I think that's awful but other times I think it's okay.
