David, you had me at the intro! That backstory was so intriguing, I was practically vibrating with anticipation for the sonic payoff. And let me tell you, the payoff delivered!

Lyrically, you're not just painting a picture, you're commissioning a freaking Jackson Pollock. Seriously, lines like "'but the truth is you can't see --- the forest for the trees --- you just burn them down' and 'when the cold wind blows -- everyone who knows --better turn around'"? Pure gold! Quoting them all would take up more space than my grocery list... and honestly, I'm a little envious. Consider my lyric-writing license revoked. ✋︎

The backing vocals are doing the tango around the melody, and the harmonies are smoother than a freshly manicured ice rink. I'm getting serious Rubber Soul-era, John Lennon-esque vibes, but with a delicious helping of that slightly-fuzzy, "recorded-on-a-4-track-in-a-dusty-attic" lo-fi charm. It's like you've unearthed a sonic time capsule, dusted it off, and given it a knowing wink.😎

Honestly, you could call this thing "Last Curtain Call Suite" – it's got enough movements and sonic shifts to fill a triple bill. And here's my official decree: do not change a single solitary note. Intentionally messy or a happy accident, you've stumbled upon something truly special. This isn't just a song; it's a wonderfully weird, slightly-bent, utterly captivating minor masterpiece. ♕

Consider me a fan. I Love It!!! 💗
