Reviewer: amy abernathy

Positive Comments: I liked the intro and your great voice. You sang it very well , I could feel the emotions. I could see this in a western film. Very pretty song.

Constructive Comments: I felt like you needed one more line to the hook. When you do an aaba format, The hook really needs to sink in. It is a good song, but if you could add a little something to the hook, it would make it really strong.Good work.
