The vocal/electric guitar arrangement is perfect - no need for a full band! This is so beautiful in its melancholy minimalism. Lyrics are characteristically enigmatic, and I love the whole "we never liked maudlin songs/but you knew I did" refrain.

So warm and inviting, but also so full of regret and longing and questioning. I don't know how you pulled off having both in there at once, but you did, and it succeeds brilliantly.

In the lyrics you masterfully create this tension where the main character seeks to be fully known by someone with whom he is intimately acquainted who is getting him wrong -- I find this intriguing

As I started to listen I was thinking... nah, I can't see this as a dance number but by the end I was thinking... yeah, early 80's Top of the Pops type dance number would fit well here. :-) Well done

Super simple and so full. Love how the song ends on the chorus repeat. Drums entering late always enjoyable to my ears. Thanks for all the hard work :)

Both the guitar and your percussion sound great! That and what Mahtowin said.

Somber and longing tone in both vocals and chord choices. I like the reference to maudlin song inside a maudlin song, that is a nice touch. the light as whisper rasping through my lips part is really poignant, a great line.

Immediately love the guitar tone and great chord progression! and when it opens up, bringing the energy! Nicely done!

If you make your own music, you're a musician! What else could you be?

And you're really good, because you have that special something that's hard for me to describe!

There's always an ironic cheerfulness in your songs, sung with a loving wink!

To be honest, I really love maudlin songs—especially ones like these!

I always find it hard to comment on your songs, I just connect with them on a very intuitive emotional level, just something about your vocals, but I think Bill nailed it with his Stuart Murdoch vamping on Reeds Walk on The Wildside

I think I know maudlin and then hear it in another way - one only unique to you. I'm happy @billwhite51 mentioned "Walk..." because I was like...what's that part remind me of? And yes, Stuart Murdoch - if you like the comparison. If not, I retract.

No where to hide with this lyric and delivery style and no need to either! its lie you change gear a bit to push the message home -very clever

Mmmmmm, maudlin...

the first half dispels the Ifs of the liner notes in favor of this is..and the last half sounds like stuart murdoch vamping on lou reeds walk on the wild side. i cant quite connect the halves even though i love them both and want them to stay together.
