Great song. But it is too long in my opinion. Also the silence at 1:53 is about three seconds, thats quite long at 3:53 there is another long silence.

Hi Ray, really interesting song - like some of the comments above I started off being totally thrown by the vocal delivery and not liking it, but by the end that's what I liked most about it.  (That said, for comparison, I'd love to hear a version where you just talk it all and don't half-sing... it might work even better).  Overall it felt really confident, not labouring too hard to please, and not afraid to cut its own path.  Like a eccentric, charismatic old gent walking slowly down the road.  The acoustic guitar picking is beautiful and I liked your restrained use of effects in the backing guitar licks.
It's all too beautiful.

Hello mate,

My god man, that's some really beautiful guitar playing there & the lyrics are awesome!

I just kinda wanted the vocal melody to change a bit more. It was a little bit samey throughout for my taste, sorry.

I thought the mix was great.

All in all I really enjoyed your song.
Cheers  ;D

Big thanks to everybody for the feedback on this one. It's been great to get a wide perspective on how well it works for people. I launched my debut EP yesterday, with this track on it, and you guys have been a big help in bringing that to fruition.

Hoorah!
