Hey Brad!
Love your Telecaster! You have a very soothing voice, and I like the echo you put on it. I like the way you used the recurring phrase "I KNOW". It's a very good fit for the story your song tells.
The song has a very nice flow to it, and I found it very easy to listen to. I'm glad you posted the lyrics. Doing so enhances a song's enjoyability, and its a recurring request here on the forum.
One of the challenges when deciding which real tracks to use is finding tracks that fill in the places where your vocals stop. If the track you like doesn't stop and start at places that fit the composition, then your choices are to either cut and paste until it works, or find a new RT.
The phrasing of the pedal steel in this song is not what you'd be likely to get from a live musician, who would probably wait until the vocalist stopped singing before he played a decorative fill. The pedal steel track is decorating while you are still singing, which distracts from the lyrical message and makes the song sound "busy". The simple fix is to simply cut away the decorations that are playing during the singing.
Or not. You get to decide how your song gets mixed! I'm just pointing out the kind of things that might not be obvious during the composing stage and don't show up until grumpy opinionated audience members start nit-picking. ;-)
All in all, I like this song a lot. Don't put too much stock in anybody's opinions about your songs.

"But roll the dice;
take a chance on me;
when by my side you set me free."
I know this feeling all too well. This song is a mix of soothing vocals and yet has ... such a lonely yet wishful tone. It's beautiful.
Thank you for sharing.
Cheers,
Ember

Nice one, Brad. There is a nice DW feel to it.
(I think using one of the Nashville Brush kits - instead of the Even8 with snare - would fit that feel better).
Nice vocal (and effect).

Man, I like this! It's captures a mood so well. I like songs that convey a specific sound emotion well, and you did that. You melody and phrasing was so silky smooth. Understated directness and catchy...but not in an upbeat annoying way. It's. Just. Right. There. You obviously know that spot, because you made the song. Also, it's very much stuck in my head...and I'm more than fine with that!  Thanks for sharing this.

You did capture the Don William's feel for sure! Great job on that. The lyrics are outstanding and your vocal is top notch as is your mix. Love the vocal effects!
This is a winner.

Really nice, nice song!! I feel that the production is a little busy, and like FJ said, drums could be better. Nice lyrics and a wonderful vocal which is just where it should be. Really, really good work on this!! Take care. Greg
