Has a good real-life vibe to it. Great job - Jeff Ashbaker Really nice. Great flow and feel. Love the chord progression change in the B parts as a device to enhance the description of, and your feelings surrounding the Christmas memory/the hangover on Valentines Day/the forgotten birthday. Vocals fit the mood of the song. Lyrically you captured my attention from the first line on and made me want to hear where you were taking the story. - Jane Godfrey Nice feel to this song. Good voice. Nice words and they work well with the music. - Kent Webb |

| Story Behind the Song: A Review by Lyricist Birthe Noer Myers Such a pleasing voice, unstrained, intimate, it is perfect for this very intimate song. The subject of lost love and need for new direction, new love. And problem of memories that are both precious and painful, especially on Holidays is handled beautifully. The guitar plays perfectly to all the emotions. A lovely song |
