Love the vibe of the song, and as many have said, the tape hiss adds to the feel.
The 'Falling, Falling, Falling' bit just sounds like the start of a bridge/middle 8 melody to my ears.
'Make peace with pain' great line within great lyrics. Love your voice too. Love the vibe at the end, just turn down the 'cat' sounding vocals just a tad.
Great job, really enjoyed that.
