The lyric is sad and yet hopeful too - no surprise from Marty.

The melody and the entire band add to that hopeful aspect.
We like the modulation.
Wow. Marty the multi instrumentalist struts his stuff.
And good stuff it is indeed, including your very soulful vocal!
We particularly liked the marimba in the bridge and your guitar picking - even sans pick.
Enjoyed it and the supporting vid!
