Stretching the limits of a classical guitar! I like it.

beautiful piece of music and very original

Something different from you, yet a nice collaboration!☺️...quite catchy & with a charming groove and bluesy vibe..cheers, Gom!👏✌️

Meaningful song. For you too I guess. Unfortunately, I only understand 70% of the lyrics as I am not native English speaking, but enough comes through.

really nice song love how bright the treble is in the mix

Amazing job with guitars parts. Much feeling and great touch. Catchy vocals too.

Great songwriting and maintaining both drama and quirkiness. The guitars are beautiful!

Love the arrangement. Great song and performance 👏👏

When I was your age, my mother
had to make each dollar last.
We had to grow up very fast...
Hope you don't grow up as fast as I did.

When my father was the age I am now
his shoulders hugged the ground.
He never got up to fight the next round.
Hope I don't have to fight the fixed fights he did.

Building you this pier 
to make things a little better for you.
If I run out of rocks then
well, you still got me—
I'll be your windbreaker.

When childhood ends, the storm begins,
I'll be your windbreaker.
When all your dreams seem lost at sea,
I'll be your windbreaker.

[break]

Now listen to the fine print, Princess.
Much as I'd love to be around,
most times you'll be on your own,
and we hope you remember some of the moves
we taught you.

And if you have children of your own,
you'll no doubt need this simple trick.
If you wanna be a good windbreaker,
you're gonna wanna let some of the wind
slip through.

Building you this pier 
to make things a little calmer for you.
If I run out of time then
well, you still got you—
you'll be your windbreaker.

When the storm begins, you'll need all your friends—
they'll be your windbreaker.
When it gets intense, better know your strengths—
you'll be your own windbreaker.

[instrumental break]

Long as I can, for as long as I can—
your windbreaker.
If you can call a friend, then call a friend—
they'll be your windbreaker.
If you know your strengths, then play your strengths—
they'll be your windbreaker.

And one day you might help carry the light—
be someone else's windbreaker.
