This is hugely impressive, John.

I particularly like the vocal delivery, the well-constructed musical backdrop and the expert mix.

The lyrical idea had me thinking of that old Frankie Laine/Bachelors tune, but I bet even that song got the idea from somewhere else!

As a composition, if anything I would say there are perhaps too many different sections for one song. You could have got 2 (albeit shorter) perfectly good pieces out of all the ideas in this one.

If I had to choose, I would say that it is the “Don’t tell me…” mid-rock section that sounds the most like it belongs in a different composition.

Also, the ending is a little surprising!

Thanks for sharing this one.
