Hi Janne.
Sounds like you put a lot of effort in this piece.
Yes it does sound like it could be from a Broadway production, as others have said.
Not sure if the repeat harmonies in "where I'm doing wrong" and "where I'm not that strong" sound right but that could be my ears.
Vic Thanks Vic, I appreciate your nice comment  I'm sure your ears hear the harmony issues correctly, but I'm probably deaf so I don't have an idea what to fix  Janne

Well, I really like it. Yes, it would benefit from proper horns, but I can tell (I think!) what you want to achieve, and the piece sounds great, anyway. The lyrics I particularly like!!! Really beautiful and unexpected, unconventional. Your vocal is really, really solid, and the sax solo is excellent. Well done, Janne ... a wonderful achievement! Thank you very much, always nice to read such a wonderful review Glad you liked the lyrics, "unexpected" and "unconventional" - those words describe very well what I'm trying to achieve. Janne

Hi, Janne.
Looks like I missed this the first time around.
Unusual melody - as others said, very theatrical.
Cool sound, I especially love the screaming sax.

You have a unique and most enjoyable sound. Your music is always creative and takes the listener on new and exciting journeys. And yes - Broadway potential in this one.
I have a song for which I wrote the lyric and acoustic guitar accompaniment in 1978. I've not yet found a selection of RTs that would support it. Who knows, next year's new tracks and styles might have the answer!
Excellent song and production! Great stuff ...
Alan Thanks Alan for your very positive comment Glad you found Broadway potential although it's never going to happen I truly hope to hear how the forthcoming RTs will make your song finally finished, at least for its 50 year anniversary Janne
