For me Dave, it's a matter of the lyrics being compelling.

I'm not sure how many people would "savor" the drawn out guitar work and phrasing. I think that comes at the expense of the message.
The lyrics seem to lend themselves to another genre....(to my ear)

It's your song to do with as you please.
I made a comment and a follow up comment.
That's enough from me and an appropriate wrap on my commenting here.

Have yourself a good day,
