Ooo, I knew you were gonna sing about the other half, too. Good write, Dewey, and well sung with just the right touch of harmony. Quite a vocal range you have, and everywhere within it there is consistent quality.

Dewey, your production technique is perfect.
Great vocal, harmonies in the right spots, and lyrics.
Fantastic arrangement.
I thoroughly enjoyed this song.

Nice song. The only production comment is that I kept noticing the slapback reverb. It's a nice sound, but I kept on noticing it, distracting from the vocal. But that's probably just me. Love everything else about it.
