Slow, reflective and with an almost haunting quality. Strong, thoughtful (and thought-provoking) lyric. I would leave the mandolin right where it is.

My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

Hi Janne.
Thank you.
Glad you approve. I agree about the busyness of the mandolin. Still looking for an alternative.

Good write, vocal and choice of RT’s. We agree with others that the omission of drums in this song works just fine. The ethereal steel might’ve been our choice for the solo in keeping with the mournful feel of the song but the mandolin gives it a little shot of joy. That juxtaposition can be effective for sure. Good one, Vic! J&B

Thank you Byron.
Sorry.
There is a little subtle pitch correction here and there but not so much as you'd notice.

This sounds great Vic.
As someone else said, it is very intimate. Sounds like it is coming straight from the heart.
I really enjoyed this one.

Superb. That's all. Anything else I would say would be superfluous. Congratulations.

Vic,
Since I'm rather "late" on this one...
and you "kept it simple"... I'll do the same...
Excellent!!!
Loved everything about this.
The Write (so good!), the Production (nice), the Vocal (perfect).
Best thing I've heard from you (over these many years).

"Late" can be described as "thoughtful" Floyd.
Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment.

Changing the BIAB style/instrumentation is what I do too to get the sound I want.
I like the instrumentation. Fits the mournful, melancholic feel.
Good Americana.

Thank you for your comment.
This style started out as "Campfire, fingerpicked and strummed".
I ditched the two instruments and replaced with others I felt were closer to what I needed. Then I ditched half of what I'd added and came up with this.
That's the way it normally happens for me.
