Really pretty melodic shapes, each nicely tailored for where it belongs in the song. Loving the lyrics too, super yearning.

“Keeping all the words in/letting all the ghosts out” -- such a great line, Kent. I really like your use of space throughout. The song feels measured and patient. Nice work!

Great vocal. You really make me feel the emotion. Powerful.

Yes. Great lyrics. Strong imagery. Seriously good. 🙌🏼👏🏼

Like "didn't want to be the one"  Endlesss possibilities - might steal it!!! :)

your voice in the chorus MELTS ME DOWN. I love it.

Fascinating, intriguing lyrics.  Suspense from all that's left unsaid.

This is a great recording - loving the sound of your voice and guitar here. Great chorus - the rhythm of "didn't wanna..." works really well.

Don't look away
Forget all the fire

Hold me on the way home
The cross won't count for nothing

I didn't want to be one
Laying all the way down
Keeping all the words in
Letting all the ghosts out

Don't walk away
Every time you're tired

Forget all the phone calls
Let's make it count for something

I didn't want to be one
Laying all the way down
Keeping all the words in
Letting all the ghosts out

So forget what I said
About leaving it behind

I didn't want to be one
I didn't want to be the one

There's a million singing that
And there's a million shouting back
It's either none
Or a million and one

I didn't want to be one
Laying all the way down
Keeping all the words in
Letting all the ghosts out

So forget what I said
About leaving it behind

I didn't want to be one
I didn't want to be the one

I didn't want to be one
I didn't want to say yes
I didn't want to be one
I couldn't let there be less

(then Kiwi barks softly)
