Very bleak and gut wrenching atmosphere - I think the piano makes that. Love the wedding lace line, though the entire lyric is evocatively composed. It took a few listens to get into the melody as there’s a lot going on and as you say you are quite un compromising on the phrasing, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. It relays the listens with its lurking melody too.

Thanks Adam!

Really glad you liked the song.
I still think the vocal is mixed too much up front, the music too quiet.
A friend mixed it this way (he's got no enduring love for vsts), I only mixed the music.

I do like this song. With it having personal content I'm a tad reluctant to push it.
Yet here we are. Lol.
It's memorable to me, I'm happy to have got it off my chest.
In retrospect it provided less closure than I was hoping for. Writing it was more therapeutic.

All the best! 
It's either this or that, then again it might be the other. 

I can promise you a future of slow decline.

And there you have it.

Hi Rightly,

As someone commented this is a very you song,with the production and delivery.

A usual the lyrics are so clever and delivered so well, you know how to tell a story and it's beautifully told.

I think think the song can be transposed into different genres, even a a duet, I confess I found myself singing along to it..... Maybe a female to give the perspective from the other side.

So many possibilities and things to like here.

Thanks for commenting @Movin Flavour

I remember after the break up, I woke up alone feeling so lonely I had to talk to myself.
I only got as far as, "good morning this morning"
Then I thought it could be quite a catchy refrain
Then played with the chord progression: c. G. F. C. And with my voice tried to imitate a muted French horn. Late for work, I walked in, the supervisor n people looked at me and I repeated this refrain by way excusing myself.
A colleague thought it funny and would greet me this way for the next ten days.

The rest came quite easily. I had a mind to recycle the feelings of loss n bitterness.

Hey if you want I could send you the track without vocals and you could put your own to it.  Just an idea.
It's either this or that, then again it might be the other. 

I can promise you a future of slow decline.

I really got into this song, especially after a few listens :) you have such a unique sound and I'd know it anywhere, which is a compliment  8)
The backing track is very atmospheric, but the vocals are so raw and in your face...a very cool contrast 8)
Your lyrics are very poetic and tell the story beautifully, as depressing as it is :( I'm happy to here you got over this quickly :)
A well deserved nomination for March's SOYM  :-*
