Hi, Greg.

Wow! I never get used to how astonishingly good you are: writing, singing and arranging.

The song has a deceptively simple arrangement, with a fantastic vocal that feels unembellished and honest, but still honey smooth.

On top of that, you've got great lyrics. You start out generic with a good, but potentially plain idea: "a song on a record". The first thing you do is make it not plain by adding specific details:

   There's a song on a record from 1972

Great setup, and it jumps right to the story. A simple addition of "sometimes" adds a bit of intriguing detail:

   It still plays in my mind sometimes

And the repeat "still" and expand the idea out:

   And I still think of you

I'll stop now before I start repeating all the lyrics. But you manage to pack so much into your lyrics, and still stay conversational.

And it never feels calculated - it's got the feels - real emotional weight.

Again: Wow! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
