@adamfarr - thank you!

@mikek - chronicity means being stuck with a long-term condition you can't escape from. I'm aware of the pitchy vocals but couldn't really give one  I continue to work on my voice in any case.

yeah i'm aware of the Webster's meaning... i was just fighting with its context in the lyric.  not a bad thing, just a head scratcher for me.

and the pitchiness is not really an issue with me, just mentioning it.  i find i need reminders of my own pitch uh-ohs as when i listen to my performances over and over, i become used to how they sound, anticipating and expecting, and appreciating the flaws...but i sometimes appreciate others calling things out.  keeps me honest.

Very good song.
I really enjoyed the listen.   
And the stripped down approach doesn't leave you wanting. 
Very difficult for anyone to find fault.

Well done.

HI, I really like the electric that weaves subtly in and out of the acoustic picking (especially around the 2:30-2:40 point), and the lovely suspended chord at the finish.   It sounds 'gothic' to me, I could imagine The Mission or a band like that playing this in a reflective moment during their set.

Beautiful.

Great song Martyn. I like the rawness of it. Makes it more real and heartfelt. You can tell if a song is really good if it sounds good with just vocals and guitar. It's inspiring to hear it done well. Maybe one day.....

Wow, this is really beautiful @MartynRich  Love the simplicity and space. Your voice sounds amazing and the lyrics are pure poetry. 
Love the angst of this song and you sing it so well....sounds like it's coming from deep within. Lovely guitars as well. This is a winner MR

All great comments, thank you. One of my favs...I’ll just have to start gigging soon

I love the lyrics @MartynRich. Clever and engaging and emotional, delivered perfectly. . And I too really like the stripped down treatment. It suits the song and the theme I think. Very very enjoyable listen.

Listened. No nits. This seems different from your past work. Though, admittedly I don't listen much these days (trying to work on that, as I think it may be best not to wait for life to settle down).

Hi,

Simplicity is great when the song can take it and this can. Very effective song sung with real passion. I like that it's meaning is oblique (to me) - I don't want everything on a plate on the first listen. Superb piece of work.
