This is a really well written song. And some of the touches in the backing tracks have some really deft touches a la Steely Dan. Love the sound of the guitar and there's some lovely work going on with the piano. So please accept what follows as intended as constructive ....I'm not trying to put his track down at all. If I didn't like it I would have ignored it.

The vocals don't do it justice. Which is bizarre because the singer's got a wonderful sounging voice. I personally think that it's a key problem. You're singing in a high key and the voice is straining. It's hitting it's pitch, but it doesn't seem to be the right pitch. Maybe I'm off on a tangent. But I can hear a beautiful chord progression played expertly, and a melody that is really good, via a good voice but they're not quite together. Donning my "know it all hat" I'd suggest maybe dropping the key by 1-3 semitones. As I hope I've made clear the singer's got a great voice and the song has huge potential. But in my view it's not quite realising it. But I want to hear more. The potential in this track is arguably unlimited.

Third review, so. I like it a lot, especially melody and guitar. The mix is very smooth and equilibrated, even if I would have enjoyed a closer vocal. Very, very nice tune anyway.

Hmmm ... no reviews? Pretty decent little tune here. I especially like the acoustic guitar playing and the quality of their recordings. I quite liked this. Nice use of empty space here and there, too.
