Cool melody and lyrics. Memories --especially the happy ones-- can bring us sadness. So far I listened 3 times and not once did I say, "Hey. where's that knock-me-down chorus." Your song is all about strong feelings. The hook for me is the last couplet:
my world is small and sad
because that i'm the only one

It brought me back for more. I'm with ya, man.
There are a lot of songs that walk that fine line of being sad, yet catchy. "Luka" is an example - it pulls you in with a bright pop song, and then wham - sucker punches you once you realize what it's about. That's some painful writing, as it should be.

On the other hand, Suzanne Vega recently admitted that the song was about her, which explains a lot. (She's got lots of great songs, but nothing else like that). I'm glad I don't have that kind of emotional well to draw from.

Yeah - that last line is the hook. There's a melodic bit at the end of the verse which also provides a bit of contrast, but not much. I have a tendency to write "flat" songs like that, and I try not to do that for obvious reasons.

But this time, I let it slide, because I thought it matched the emotion well. Funnily enough, Suno did it's best to make the chorus as big and bold as possible. I think that made me dig my heels in a bit more in the other direction. laugh

Thanks for stopping and commenting, I appreciate it!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
