I've met my share of good and great musicians, songwriters, etc., in my life (many of them on this forum, albeit "virtually", I may add) ... you are absolutely up there, at the very top - especially as a songwriter, but also as a lyricist and (not least at all) as a singer, in my view. I couldn't do a thing, during my time listening to this song, other than just listen. I don't know how you do it, I've said this before ... but your somewhat minimalistic (if we want to give it a label) approach, coupled with this sheer talent for lyrics and a worn-out voice make for a lasting combination. You really ought to be on the radio, every day. I, for one, would certainly listen, and so would so many others, I'm sure. You tell stories with your songs, alike the old masters - stories that I, for one, can't help but to stop and listen, once the song has started. Bravo.
