Chris and Christian, great song.
"I'm a songwriter
Just a little notes picker" and
"My guitar and I
Need no wheels cos we can fly"
are great lines.
Super vocal and mix.
Today I bought a doughnut without the sprinkles. Diets are hard!

I like the in-your-face vocals with the slight French accent.
Beautiful song.

Chris,
I really like this old type of chanson.
When I was young, I used to listen to Mouloudji, Boris Vian and etc. a lot.
I'm really happy that you make songs like this type.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Wow, touching song both lyrically and musically. Good question and good answer. Beautiful traditional French melody and chording. The vocalist is great, I really enjoyed those low notes and the emotion he delivers. The simple arrangement develops beautifully and supports the mood perfectly.

Beautiful song. Instruments and vocals sound really nice together and I like your French accent. In my opinion, they make the vocals more unique in a good way.

Hi Chris and singer Christian,
I can only agree with all the others here. A typical French style, a beautiful song, impressing vocals (his way of singing reminds me of Misha, Rustyspoon) and good choice of instruments. When listening to it, you see a picture of yourself sitting near a fireplace, a glass of wine in your hand, a dog lying close to your feet, a cat on your chair and your partner handing you some French cheese...
Or with other words, a lovely song!
Hans

I like it. The understated performance enhances (rather than detracts from) a deceptively powerful lyric. I'm sure it would sound even better en Français.
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

A song in the tradition of good French chansons. Well done - I enjoyed it. The lyrics are also very meaningful, I find ... speaking as someone who's often been asked what one really does, when telling others one is a musician :-) Congratulations.
