Dear Ian, This song is absolutely one of your very best, brother! Very real and about life and what millions of folks go through all the time; universal! The emotion in your voice is palpable and your flair for great lyric writing is most evident here, my dear friend! The shorter lines and the brilliant way you sing them kick up the emotion in this song! Your vocals are just brilliant, but so is this song both lyrically and musically. Perhaps the best song I've ever heard from you and that's one tall order, my friend! You are perhaps the best on this site in my humble opinion and there are many fine artists and songwriters here, Ian! The way this song builds to a climax is great as well. Concise, to the point; evocative, original, pure genius, my dear friend, Ian!!! You're amazing, man! Clay Brian Wilson 10,000 Suns! Thank you for sharing and don't ever stop writing! 💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍 Your Friend and Fan Always, Clay 8-) P.S. One more thing there is authenticity and genuineness to the song as well! Seems like a very real story, Ian! Remember Robert LaDue from ACIDplanet. Many of his songs were like that.
