Heather,That is so pro. Lyric is so conversational but killer, and the melody is just lovely.
 
 I do agree with Monker that a third movement (bridge) would be the ingredient that will make you some money.
 
 You elevate this board,
 Tom

Astonishing.  I have heard many songs on many forums over the past couple of years (since I wrote my first song).  I have yet to hear anything that captures a mood/moment/situation like you did with me - with that song.
 I have added you to "my favorite artist" on SC.  Quality work.
 
 Be cool.

I enjoyed my listen too, Heather.  Great song!  I think a bridge would be a nice compliment to it.  I vote for the bridge!
 Best wishes.

Hi Heather!
 This is just wonderful. Beautiful vocal (as always) against a fabulous arrangement. The lyric is equally good.
 
 Regarding a bridge...this is one of the very few times where I would say it's optional. Normally a bridge is needed or it isn't. If it's not needed and you use one, it clutters the song. If it needs one and it's not there, it leaves the song lacking. however, in this case, I can hear it both ways. As i said, I usually have a definitive opinion about putting in a bridge. If you can add a new element in a couple of quick lines that adds to the story in a way not already said, I think a bridge would be a good idea. Otherwise, I wouldn't do it. That's my opinion.
 
 Also, I can't believe someone rated this as only two stars in Soundclick! I gave a full five because I think it deserves it. Good luck with this one.
 
 Alan

Heather,
 This is, in a word, S U P E R B - I wouldn't change a thing.
 First class in every respect.
 
 All the best,
 Robert
