Very nice. Love the bridge change - that was unexpected and really cool, didn't follow what I'd call a normal pattern. Very soulful song, I felt it.

PIANO! I love your doubled recordings in the beginning, that's a gorgeous effect on "learn"

Oh dang it's late and I'm all emo and it's gonna make me cry. I love the line "dropped my torch in the rain." Thanks for being our teach, teach! I'm so happy to be in this group, and I have been so into all your prompts, even the ones that seemed daunting at first. Very very grateful for this opportunity. PS also love the line "looking for diamonds in the dark"

WHOAH kick ass vocal effect on that first line!  COOLNESS.  wow what a beautiful ballad.  AWESOME idea to bring in the soft 808 kit.  its reminding me a LITTLE bit of Brian McKnight because of it.  piano chops GALORE plus that beat.  kinda John Legend too.  nice changes I love bridges so much.  I find them such a GREAT element in a pop structure and you have built such a wonderful one here.  the way it sets back in - soft as a feather.  kick ass on the way out too with the effects!  the progressions to me are the meat and you are really amazing at inventing some novel and fetching ones.  again : comes with the chops!!!!!  BRAVO!!!!

Will I ever learn?
can't build castles in the sand
can't rain on the stars
nothing grows where they are

Seems each path I take
leads me to a colder place
I act like I want it that way
too scared of a warm embrace

(Chorus)
Guiding light
Will you be by my side
Will you be my sight
guiding light, guiding light

Dropped my torch in the rain
nothing put out the flame
Thought it was all a mistake
why did you stay? why did you stay?

(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Looking for diamonds
looking for diamonds in the dark
looking for diamonds
reflect my guiding light

(Chorus)
