To my view,

Your explanation of the contemplative nature of the isolation was interesting. And more interesting than the song itself.

The "lullabye" music was appropriate enough regarding a song that is about night and isolation, but dragged to my ear, sounded dated and the vocal was not pleasing to my ear.

I think that the subject matter would make a better poem, where no music would give any cues to the listener, only the words sounding in the listener's imagination.

The song also looks like purely personal introspection and "self-therapy."
Which is fine, IMO, people who like to write and do it for years, do it first-off for the peace, fulfillment, etc, etc.

Relate-ability with this particular circumstance is low, yet relate-ability with the theme of alone-ness could be high.

If you want more people to relate to this, I suggest, isolating the emotions felt and applying them to some more universal circumstance.

Marty, all you care about is country. I cant cater to you. You dont like my style. Thats ok.

No matter what style you dont get it. Again that's fine.

I disagree that people couldnt relate. You also say that aboit everything I do.

Lots of people work overnight. Especially in today's workd. And ive heard these sentiments from them.

And the theme of isolstion can be converted to anybody situation, its powerfully part of us

I also disagree that its dated, this is Mumford and sons, arcade fire, Americana pop.

Much more current than you want to think.

How bout this?

What if there was a movie, depicting somebody working alone, with alot on their mind, what if i submitted this to play during that scene


Would work perfectly, wouldn't it.

I also disagree that people cant empathize with an artist, even if they night not experience it.

If that's your honest view, ok, not gonna yell at you.
