I like the raw beauty of these vocals. The guitar lift in the mid 8's is powerful. Nice one!

Love the last section. The guitar is amazing, as is your voice. Great lyrics...

"I don't really need to know." What an insanely effective line! This line of thinking is relatable to me, regarding the past, and often the present as well. This one doesn't feel like fully shutting the door on the past, but inching it closer to the frame. Love it.

Lovely subdued guitar; it spotlights the wistfulness of your vocals. The lyrics are quite personal to me too. I’ve spent a lot of time lately wondering about alternate paths, certainly keeping me awake at night many times 😔

Well done. This song is stuck in my head immediately. I do love the refrain. The guitar sound is perfect for the moody vocals. amazing quality for a phone recording? I too seem to be stuck on sad songs, tho I also consider myself a happy person. Whats up with that?

Sad song, yes, oh but your voice makes it sound so beautiful. Abd that guitar is great. I think we all have those moments of wanting to go back and fix mistakes, so that's a great theme. But I don't know what l'esprit d'escalier. I'm not that cultured. :)

If you wrote this during the day, I would be shocked, as this just perfectly captures that feeling of being stuck awake. You’ve written an excellent song that has such a great flow. Seems like it could be one of those that amazingly just spill out. Very well done!

Oh lordy, that 3am feeling. Why are human brains wired to do this? Is it supposed to be some kind of learning experience? And if so, why do we keep having to be given the lesson? Love that you gave it this "me and a guitar" one-take approach rather than punking it up, which would absolutely have worked, but this way it feels more direct and personal.

Hooked it well.... enjoyed it from beginning to the end...resonated a little..David

It's good to hear your voice again! Catchy and warm.

This is awesome, love the rawness of the phone recording! Very relatable lyrics that capture the feeling of regret so beautifully!

I guess you don't need to be sad to write sad songs.

Do like the acoustic sounding guitar and the squeaks that go with it.

RE: "I keep writing sad songs, which is weird, because I'm very happy."

After reading your liner notes and listening to the plaintive Bm guitaring, I'm SUPER curious what this song would sound like if you kept all the lyrics as it, but played some upbeat (punk, even) D-A-G jam to sing about regret with no regrets.

Hmm?

I spend a lot of time revisiting old regrets and aching over decisions made in ignorance, exuberance or anger. I follow the threads, until I fall asleep. The threads don't lead me too far, only to temporary comfort in a distant time. It doesn't change me, but it reminds me of who I am now.

Love this sound. I suffer the same.. overthinking. I like how the chorus opens right up. Then back to the cool strum-picking. Fantastic.

The protagonist is Regret. Beautiful write.
