Hi Ron,

A beautiful subject, good rhythm, and great vocals. I thought the backing vocals were very good too!
The subject you touched upon reminded me of a situation I experienced in my country that gave me—somewhat—that same unsettling feeling you sang about: I was involved in politics in my country. I lived in a relatively large city near Amsterdam (our capitol). And there I had a meeting with fellow party members from that city. That should have been a home game for me, but within a few seconds I really felt like a schoolboy again. Awkward, I didn't understand their way of speaking, their greedy behaviour and so on. Very uncomfortable. I have never forgotten that feeling, although I was able to handle it much better later on.
Your lyrics brought this back to the surface for a moment, while listening to it. And I consider that a fine achievement of yours, to articulate it so well, in a somewhat understated way.
Compliments!

Hans
