Hi James.

This song was quite an experience.
The lyrics are sad and filled with forlorn hope. Your story is well thought through and you've captured it in song form very well.
While some of the chord changes surprised me, it seems to me that you chose those chordal surprises to make the listener feel the emotional disruption and turmoil that the song's character feels. That was was a clever strategy and one I admire. It worked for me and help amplify that emotional content of the lyrics.

Thank you for sharing it smile
--Noel
