Hi Ricki.

I really like the vibe of this song. What a cool title too, just one of those words (Cleveland) that phonetically sounds cool with music and verse.

I just have one thought "for me/my reaction." Because there are a lot of Cleveland's in the song, I'd like to see you re-visit 3rd verse, 1st line. I'd like to "not" hear Cleveland again at the end of the line--just let the 1st verse have that double emphasis and ending tag. You might start that line out saying similarly, "Those things I left _________________" You would also avoid using so many "I" at sentence beginnings by changing that one line--whatever you say there could add to story or drama, and we'll know it has to do with outside those days back in Cleveland. Use or lose.

Loved this guys, nice write, nice production concept Michael Z. Enjoyed this!
