I think what I like most about this song is how the production stays true to the "bare bones" theme, yet it does such a good job of building as it goes.
I'm a sucker for harmonies, so I loved that aspect of the song. And for me, the lyric fit the melody perfectly, and vice versa--a detail I definitely appreciate.
The song probably means different things to different people, but the message I got from it was that of a person reaching a place of detachment, or working on reaching that place, which is a theme in my personal life, so it resonated with me.
Very nice work. Good luck in the competition!
