Hi Izzy! Another good one!
The accompaniment to this ticked along like a clock, mimicking the time theme. I found the pause in the piano ‘riff’ to be a little confronting initially, and had to listen to it several times to work it out. To me, it sounded like the song wanted to move forwards, but being pulled back (by the piano pause in the riff) to your haven of dreams. I especially loved the ‘trickle’ of the keys through this pause on subsequent sections.

You make wonderful use of piano in your songs - I am wondering if this is your weapon of choice?

You have great word-craft, and it was very easy to visualise the setting and feeling through your words.

You used ‘we’ a few times in the song, as though the haven was a shared experience, and I was wondering if the lyrics were also looking fondly at past relationships? Your voice is suited to this type of song, but you sing with versatility across a range of genres.

Good song, lots of feeling, and very pleasing to listen to.
