In a way, it's a cheerful song, Andrew! Despite most of the lyrics. The choruses especially gave me that feeling! I really liked that!

I think it's a really good song.
I do have a suggestion: Maybe, just maybe, it would be stronger if you didn't end so high too often (sing the endings of some lines lower or neutral).
But maybe others here on the forum disagree, or you don't. Then leave it as is, because the song is simply good.

A creative 2026, Andrew!
