I read the lyrics - almost as a poem - before I listened to the track; you tell such great stories.
I imagined what musical interpretation you'd put on it - and of course I was miles off as usual. 😂
Such a unique style - great stuff. 👍👍

I really like this - it has the feeling of an old English or Scottish lament - emphasised further by the solo strings (viola or violin 🤷). Your vocal control is immaculate and the performance is top notch.
Minor crit, I might have varied the guitar arpeggio a little, but this is just taste and fancy.
Great work
Andy
Great song - definite 70s vibe and a bit of an Eagles/ James Taylor feel (now that would have been an interesting collab).
Great vocal tracks and some very good lyrics in there too.
Andy
That sounded very nice considering it was 'thrown together' - I can't wait to see what you can produce once you really get stuck into it. 🙂
Welcome to the EzKeys club - I've used it on a lot of my songs (sometimes building a song from the midi packs and more recently using the replace midi feature where you use the midi packs to play 'in the style of'). There's a lot under the hood of EZK 2 I still haven't got my head around - if I only had more time but there's precious chance of that at present as still in the thick of a house renovation project.

Oooh now covering this could be considered as extremely brave - even sacrilegious in some circles - but I think you did an amazing job with it. Nothing to change here.
Loved it
Andy
+1 to that - house has to be empty for me to record vocals. Nice cover that Steve - you did a great job on such a tough vocal. How do you fancy tackling America - that's one of my favourite S&G songs. 🙂

That drone is both distracting and mesmerising at the same time - I really like the synth work - has a kind of Vangelis feel to it. I feel that if Einaudi wrote synth pop - this is the kind of music he would make. There are a lot of layers to this - and I'm not one who really appreciates electronic music - but this is very cool. 😎

Piano sound reminds me of some of Ant Phillips' solo work (Private Parts & Pieces - Autumnal) - I hear the very slight tuning issue but it is masked by the effects on the guitar so it's hidden in the mix.
Nice work
Andy
And a key change as well - what's not to like 🙂
Great tune and I agree about the rhyming of 'guy and' with 'tryin' - as Tom observes - very clever indeed.
