This is very special Jim, the lyrics are superb but there's a real sensibility in the music that suits the feeling of uncertainty in the whole song. It really needs a "celtic" feel to the vox and yours are extra special here, lovely sensitive vocalisation and you really use your "lilt" well. The guitar is simple but very lovely and it's got an authentic feel to it.

My only criticism is it's a bit short! I'd love to hear a version with some acoustic instruments soloing, fiddle or mandolin would be lovely. 

Stand out fantastic, one of my all time favourites from you.

Cheers,

Lovely. Full of hope, passion and trepidation. I really like the bare and open recording as well.
