What do I do with this song ?? structurally or instrumentation wise.
It’s perfect, instrumentation-wise, honestly. There’s definitely potential for it to be more heavily produced if you wanted to go that route (I could imagine some really cool drum parts in the background), but this stripped down version fits the lyrics and melody really well.
It seems like a pretty standard structure. I like that the verses are a little on the short side, since the melody is repetitive. It works for what it seems like you’re trying to do. Kind of gets its stuck in your head.

I like this song a lot - great vocals and great guitar playing. As far as instrumentation - although it sounds fine in its current arrangement - if you wanted to add more ingredients it might be cool to have a B-3 type keyboard oscillating and pinned fairly hard in one channel - especially during the chorus - hanging on the high notes; and it might be cool to have (especially an upright) bass in the other channel (though closer to center) especially on the verses and a simple trap set smeared over the center - just keeping a locked in time - but that’s only if you wanted to flash it out more - it’s really nice as it is - I enjoyed it!

Thanks for sharing. I like the guitar. I also like the tempo. The structure and flow of the song doesn’t appear to bother me to much. The high notes in the vocals balance out the deep tone to the song nicely. They do get pretty high towards to end of the song and thats probably where I felt like it got to be maybe slightly to much. I’m curious on what others think.
