    LYRICS
    I was half alive when she came by
    And she said she wants to be my friend
    Now she is one with me
    Although we are two
    I am one with you
    She makes no demands of me
    She gives her love, gives it for free
    Hands me the key
    And she makes no demands of me
    She takes my hand, lips on my cheek
    Love so sweet
    And she makes no demands of me
    On and up we go
    You'll never know what you'll be
    Come along with me
    You are someone new
    You're going to higher ground
    No more looking down

    This would be an amazing track if you altered lines 2 and 4 of the chorus. I don’t think you quite get away with repeating that one line so many times in a row. Perhaps you could do a version 2 also with the guitar a little higher in the mix and with a touch of drive on it? I think you could have an indie hit on your hands, the melody is definitely an ear worm.

    Hi James, big fan of your channel, I finally had a chance to listen to all your music on Spotify including your new album. I think your album is fantastic with no fillers for the songs. Yes maybe show not so subtle references to your musical influences but the chord progressions and the guitar playing are top notch! I know it’s the most ballad personal song but love “On the Day you came to be” which can imagine being sung by all the audience.
    Thanks for keeping the live music scene alive 👏

    This reminds me on my first Richard Dawson experience. When I first heard him, I found his singing voice really annoying, but when I got used to it, I realized how perfectly his songwriting is tailored to his voice.
    The same here, when I heard the song for the first time this morning, I wasn't very impressed by your singing, but then this "she makes no demands of me" chorus line stuck in my head for the rest of the day and when I listen to it again now, I think that it's that specific sound of your voice, that makes this song works so well.
