Nice work! smile

Thanks, David! Not 100% sure I know what a "vocal guitar" is but I think it MUST be a compliment. Glad you enjoyed the song!

The lyrics are heart-wrenching - "you're pulling my strings/like I'm your puppet/I'm not a puppet". And the chorus is really really strong, one you can really be proud of.

Great idea to use such a small band, it gives room for your excellent vocal performance and the raw emotion in your voice, even sibilants belong there. The guitars sound fantastic. I love the minor chord at the end of the chorus, true highlight (or lowlight in a positive sense).

And excellent use of kleenex laugh

Thank you, Janne! Yeah, such a cool lyric (not mine). What I love most about the lyric are all the things implied but not revealed, so the listener's imagination (and experience, perhaps) is essential to complete the story. Thanks for the in depth review, so glad you liked the song!

Too many guitars (is that a thing?)
