Hi Izzy!
This song is a delight! I know you're playing (mostly) chords in C major, but that melody feels like a melody that has never been sung by anyone ever before! Maybe it's the melancholic style or the high notes that have a subtle rawness to them?
The style of this song is so fitting for the lyrical theme - words of hope and longing, but with an implied wistfulness. I think the starting bare bones of vocal, acoustic and piano adds to the vulnerability as well, and when the band comes in, it doesn't complicate the song.
This song makes me want to write down the words, work out the chords and play it myself - and I mean that as a compliment.
A joy to listen to. Well done.
