The song is a typical break up song. The main character is so sad he wants to die. I added a sax to help with the mood. Only The Good Die Young Oh my baby don't walk out me I sure don't want no sympathy. I gave you money and I brought wine I guess there'll no more lying My sunny skies have turned to grey I never thought things would go this way. I never knew that you wanted to leave. I guess only the good die young. Bridge My sunny skies have turned to grey I never thought things would go this way. I never knew that you wanted to leave. I guess only the good die young. I've been grieving so many days I just want to die and easy my pain. I miss you honey and your sweet smile I guess only the good die young.

That far-away sax seems to speak for his soul.

I like everything except the sax solo - I had a hankering for a baritone guitar part. This is a good song - really well done all all counts.

Reminds me a bit of St. James Infirmary, just a bit. Great job!! I think that it is your best to date! I also thought of St James Infirmary. Although it didn't distract from the song I would have preferred a more sad blues instrumental part in play of the sax. Either a wailing sax or guitar would be better, but again that is only me and others may disagree. Regardless this is excellent - loved it. Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.

Something like this would be simply amazing for a James Bond soundtrack. REALLY enjoyed this one Graham............ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKBPq93IQFTD3q-zBqxghbQ?view_as=subscriber
