I love the guitars in this song--the call and response + guitarmonies parts are lovely, and you do a great job filling in the empty space in the song without overwhelming the vocals. I’m not sure they sound different enough to count as “two instruments”, but I will buy it for judging purposes. The lead vocal sounds generally good, but the backing vocals sounded a bit rough in parts, particularly the falsetto parts. I found the chorus melody awkward--sort of angular(?) in a way that didn’t seem to fit with the style of this song. I like the candelabra/chupacabra rhyme, less of a fan of “the media can’t contro-o-o-o-ol,” which took my mind off all those nice Romantic poets and made me think of 5G conspiracy theorists; also, you didn’t post your lyrics and I wasn’t quite sure how to parse that with the surrounding lyrics in a way that would make it sound grammatical, so it took me out of the song every time.
