Positive Comments: What a difficult topic and theme to write and sing about. You’ve managed to bridge a subject that is very tricky to get the correct balance with. You’ve done a great job in getting that balance right…not too downbeat and not dismissing the theme of missing someone due to a tragedy. Vocals are great-very powerful and match the tone of the track. It has the hallmarks of a good, old-fashioned pop/rock song with a great guitar solo in the middle.My attention was never lost at any point and the length of the track was also very suitable as a song about such a subject can lost its impact if it is too long-this was spot on!Really enjoyed this track-well done and thanks for writing such a poignant song.
Constructive Comments: I have nothing particularly specific to add other than perhaps suggesting that you could have referred to Sep 11th in a way that maybe didn’t mention the date directly? This would make this track more relatable to others who have suffered similar tragic circumstances but not related to 9/11. Just a very minor suggestion that would not take away from the meaning of this very specific event that is sung about, but allow others to connect with the song through their own tragedies.
