really like the classic rock vibe and catchiness of the chorus, and the ooh-ooh verse harmonies are subtle and very effective. I like the breakdown but it feels like the drums should drop out entirely, they're in an odd "not quite sparse or busy enough to feel natural" limbo. Look at me critiquing drums now that I've had three lessons.

I enjoyed this, I felt like the guitar would’ve been better off as an edge of breakup tone rather than this fuzzed out tone. Simple love songs are some of the hardest to really pull off, and I don't think this one is a great one, that really goes somewhere emotionally, but it's a decent effort.

Pretty solid and catchy; I like the lead vocal and the doo-wop backing vocals in the verse. The mix of the harmonies in the chorus is sort of strange to me, the female harmony sounds sort of ghostly there in a way that's at odds with the relatively present rest of the mix. (Same with the slidey BVs in the bridge, they are quite cool-sounding but have a more spooky feel than the rest of the song would seem to demand.) I like the rock climbing metaphor, although honestly, the first verse doesn't seem necessary from a lyrical point of view. V2 and the bridge seem to hold the heart of this song in terms of lyrical content, and in comparison V1 feels a bit like filler or unnecessary scene-setting.

I like the wistful nature of this track and the performances are all very good. I do think the mix is a little flat though and the song runs slightly too long. However, it's a nicely written lyric though and I love those slidey "waaahs" in the middle 8.
