		+	i like the prechorus! the bridge is gorgeous. when i first downloaded this chris was at my house, and we both just stopped talking at the bridge and stared at the computer and were totally blown away. the whole song just opens up. i think the snaps there are really neat, also.

		+	lovely is the word i would use, as well. i really enjoy the way the first refrain becomes the last verse with a few added syllables. bravo on that move.
		+
		+	just heard the new version! i'm grateful that you played the intro twice. i loved the way you dove right into the refrain out of the verse in the old version, though, so i'm not wild about the pre-chorus you added. when you went straight into refrain, it gave me a kind of breathless feeling that i thought was very appropriate for the song.
		+
		+	holy shit, the bridge is playing right now, and i love it so much i could die. the part before you start singing somehow reminds me of the cure--that piano part. did you change the lyrics from when you first posted them up here? because there was a line in the bridge that i wasn't wild about, but now i really like it. maybe i just needed to hear the melody.
		+
		+	ok, so my favorite parts of this song, as you know, are the ends of the first two refrains where you sing "for an escape" and "swing you up". the suspension under this and the melody just slay me. but you don't end the song with this section, which in my opinion is a crime! you just repeat the first bit of the refrain.
		+
		+	here's a crazy idea: sing the first line of that last refrain, and then stop: "breath abaited were you waiting...."--and give it two bars at least to just hang there... and then play the end of the first refrain, as you did the first time--"...for an escape (and) did the flood find you too?". you might have to tweak the last line a bit to get it to fit, but i think it'd be worth it. i just think you really need to milk the end of that refrain at the end of the song. ooh! you could even drop the meter at the end, after the fermata i suggest above, and play the last line more slowly. really draw it out for maximum effect: "for an escape and did the flood find you too".
		+
		+	love the song, my man. this is among your best yet, in my opinion.

		+	Thanks for your suggestions, Sara. I added a little pre-chorus thingy and I haven't decided if I like it or not. Let me know what you think. A couple things need to be fixed on this new recording. For one, during the verse it sounds like there's phasing between the guitar and piano. Either that or my guitar was out of tune (oops!). This new version also has a bridge (with shaker and snaps) that I'm so excited about. The vocals definitely aren't as warm and intimate as on the previous recording, so I'll have to do those over as well. I'd love to hear your comments!
