Pro General Comments: The emotion behind this song is unfortunately something we may all have to face (if we haven't already). My concerns with this song are mostly that it feels outdated - it feels more like the folk artists of the 1960s, or even Carole King from the 1970s, which are a tough sell these days. However, I do really like the emotion in it. The music, however, feels pretty positive against a very sad lyric. The chorus lyric feels well done to me, it's clear and both resigned and sad and hopeful at the same time. I don't know if there's a place for this genre as is right now. It's far from modern pop or country, but could find a home in the indie folk/singer/songwriter/Americana world. If you are an artist yourself, I think this is a good tune to be performing out that will likely get a heartfelt audience response. It's not a song for pitch in commercial music though.

Quote From Pro: A well-written and sentimental look at how quickly life passes.
