J&B, Brad, Noel and David:

I truly appreciate the listens and feedback. For me, it's one of the better set of lyrics that I've written in a while, inspired by Ray's great musical canvas.

Noel: Your wrote that the "lyrics are filled with specific images and yet are able to be interpreted in a number of ways." That's really one of the things that I shoot for when I'm writing a lyric. In poetry, the poems that really affect me are those that don't tell the whole story concretely, that leave things open to interpretation. I refer that to being "the story behind the story". In music, I think that type of approach can help a song resonate with a broader audience, who are able to insert themselves into the song. For this tune specifically, I started with one story in mind, and by the time I finished, it seemed ti could also be another. I like to embrace that duality when a song has potential for it. Thanks for the listen!
