Lovely subject in a world where trees are mostly seen only as a source material for products. But you give life to that tree, a purpose to exist on its own. You beautifully describe its characteristic, long life and fights through hard times, and also its importance to you. And finally you use it as a metaphor for lasting love. Excellent storytelling!

Enjoyable arrangement, first the piano, the the rest of the band and then the strings. The chord progression sounds very pleasant and the melody is quite universal. I read your comment about the influences, you have combined them and made the song sound like a genuine Noel song.

I have no real complaints about Kevin's voice, I like how Kevin sounds like your inner voice, albeit a little hoarse and emotionless this time. Maybe the range is bit too low or its bit too masculine, because your previous Kevin songs have sounded better.
