I read the "one note" and was very pleased it wasn't the 14 paragraph caveat that some use.
The song - nice story with some saddness/longing/regret in the telling.
The chord progression is really nice - familiar but not a rip.
The vocal was what was needed...avoided saccharine styling.
The cello & fiddle will fit even better - later.
