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.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks so much for taking the time to listen and provide such thoughtful feedback! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it.
I'm so glad you picked up on the time theme and the piano "ticking." Your interpretation of the pause in the riff is spot on - I love how you described it as being pulled back to the haven of dreams. It's fascinating to hear what resonates with different listeners; maybe all my musical choices are just my subconscious arguing with itself about the passing of time! And yes, the "trickle" was intentional, so I'm glad it landed!
You're right, the piano is definitely my weapon of choice... probably because I'm terrible at hand-to-hand combat, musically or otherwise. wink
I appreciate your kind words about the word-craft. It's always the goal to paint a picture with words, so I'm delighted you were able to visualize the setting. As for the "we" and past relationships... well, let's just say inspiration comes from everywhere, and sometimes it lingers longer than it should!

Thanks again for your generous comments. It means a lot!

Best Regards
Izzy
