David,

A terrific mix and a wonderful vocal—and magnetic hook. Folks can debate about the length . . . personally, I have no issues as long as the song keeps my interest . . . and this one does. Sure, given its length it’s not going to go anywhere commercially in today’s market . . . but what good song, regardless of length, is going anywhere in today’s market. :-)

It’s artistic, emotional and well-sung and put together. Cool song. The lyrics are solid . . . I wouldn’t shorten the lyrics unless it feels right to you. I think some of the confusion may be that the title of the song is “This Town,” but the song is not really about the the town at all. So describing it is somewhat off point. It’s far more about the relationship.

Really good stuff. Hope you’re not discouraged and share more with us.

My humble regards,

Deej
