What the critics have said…
"The engaging style of this track feels like a fusion of pop singer songwriter and classic folk music. There are some commercial elements, but the overall spirit of the track seems to be rooted in a poetic sensibility. It’s about a romance, of course, but it is open enough that listeners can connect their own story. It’s a lovely little track, I must say."
