Man, I listened last night, and wasn't quite sure how to say what I wanted, but Marnold hits it pretty right by me. I do like some sad ballads, like say, Springsteens "Wreck on the highway" from The River. It comes close to being silly, but somehow avoids it. I agree with Marnold that this one, though I am sure well intended, gets over the top both in lyrics and then singing. I think the lyrics are what put the singing over the top. I think the theme is good, the statement of the issue is fine, but how it resolves gets syrupy somehow. Like Marnold, I have never done what you have done before, and am just a newbie guitarist, so many grains of salt, a wedge of lime and a shot of Patron are advised with this opinion. I know you wanted feedback sooner, but by the time I listened at the end of the day yesterday, I was not able to take the time to write a cogent comment.
