The prettiest song ive heard in awhile -i just love the shape of this one. ❤️

This has a sweet, melancholy feel. Simultaneously a bit jazzy and nostalgic.

Brilliant! Classic nostalgia, straight out of a David Lynch film

Classic! The sorrow radiates powerfully. The chorus is worded so well that it lures the imagination straight in - the verses make it all the more multi-dimensional.

It's the last lonely dance of the evening. So melancholic and delivered with perfect imagery in the lyric.

I like how it's reminiscent of those early rock ballad chord progressions (to my ears at least, like Ritchie Valens "We Belong Together" type of set-up chord-wise but folky/earthy with the arrangement). Very nice! Once again you execute another layer of genre/subgenre really well!

Nice 50's crooner slow dance song, James. You simply excel in any genre.

This definitely recalls Unchained Melody. The Righteous Brothers would be proud.

"The Shape Of Your Shadow" (#496, 210824)

The shape of your shadow
Is dancing on the floor
The shade of fine tobacco
I never could afford

The light outside the window
Is seeping through the cracks
A memory made out of tinsel
Shining against the black

And the only two things I know
The only two things
The only two things there are
Are my breath so shallow
And the shape of your shadow

The mornings are sewn together
A pale surrender into the night
You were once my first forever
Until your letter spelled goodbye
