Hi Marty! You can hear the ache in your vocals - the sense that the relationship is irretrievable. That repeating title works in the chorus - like a person going over and over the situation.

The marimba works for the passing of time in the bridge - good to hear your songwriter’s perspective of instrumental choices and what influenced your decision making.

The key change for the repeat of the chorus extends the life of the song wonderfully, and that guitar solo is styled just right for the song.

BTW - the second line of your chorus sings ‘Let’s turn this ship around’.

Good song!
