I get the 70s singer-songwriter vibe, which is really nice, and I think I've got the song figured out and then you go all Prog on me. Maybe it's just the way you sing 'A mark of a madman', dunno, but it really hits my prog-spot. You should have omitted the first explanation of how you tackled the question challenge, as you're already flirting with pretentiousness. This is a beautiful song, and I were a judge I'd be agonizing over if this or Frankie's song deserves to be first.
