Kind of a break from recording and re-recording songs to be played live this year, this is kind of a folksy, reverb and acoustic-heavy, simple and short composition. Harmonizing my vocals is such a bummer lately, since it reveals how limited one's range is...

I like it! The vocals are nicely understated, and it builds to something interesting in a short period of time.

My only criticism: I'm not sure about that repeating high guitar part that goes from around 1:27 to 2:02. I like where it ends up, but I feel like it's a bit long and overpowers the quieter section. I might prefer to hear just the second half of it.

Nice song!

I like how eerie this starts. I agree with danb that you lose some of that in the latter half. The guitar seems way up front and raw/clean, it might blend better mixed back or treated with an effect. . just my $.02
