Nicely done! This is really well performed. I like the upbeat feel good vibe. It has a bit of a sixties/seventies pop vibe for me and I'm not sure why. A really unique voice with a lot of character. Great tune.

This is awesome, I have listened four times and it is really growing on me big time with each listen....I get the Velvet Underground comparison...I also get a Daniel Johnston vibe, especially in the vocals......big time ...indie power pop....beautiful chorus...total great song ...well done

Catchy and laid-back pop song. So well written and performed. Nice to hear new music from you!

Simple, but very catchy and effective. I love the chorus and the chords you used on that. Very nice work, nothing wrong with trying a few more originals.

I loved this.  You did a call-back.   Comedians do it. Writers (song and book) do it.  It's so great when it works, and it worked perfectly here.

Musically this is fun, and I like the sense of real life mixed with hopeful and romantic sentiments, but tempered with some realism.

This is great, I love it! The guitar work is very well recorded & mixed, and the vocal delivery fits in perfectly. My fave is that steady light chug in the chorus, it's awesome. The "yeahs" made me smile, reminded me of Henny a little bit. Four minutes that passed by so quickly, a sign of a great number!

What a well written and performed tune, you should be really proud of it. Must... do... more!

This sounds good. And I like the Am in the chorus. You say it's simple, and maybe it is, but I think it sounds damn fine.

Thanks for the kind feedback everyone!  I'm inspired to try to produce more original songs.

I think an influence on the song is actually country music songs where some of them tell a whole life story in the song, and some of modern ones also use a "modern light crunch" rhythm guitar to enhance the chorus (also common in 90s pop?).  And I also doubletracked the vocals only on the chorus. Some people have mentioned before in the past that my voice sounds a bit like Lou Reed - I don't actually listen to him much, besides the couple classic rock radio hits, but will have to look deeper into that.
