Haunting
Really, really, really great guitar riff. The pulsing chord progression is very catchy and creates a wistful mood.
The voice and the background vocals all create a melancholy and haunting mood.
The chord change at the chorus is a great contrast against the verse melody.
The melody is solid, and the hook is catchy and fits with the mood.
The instrumental bridge is great.

great melody, great guitar, great song!
I love the song from the very start!
Hook: there are a lot of themes introduced throughout the piece, but they don't get lost like you might expect. And besides, that won't be a problem, considering the multiple listens this song merits.
Melody: Great vocal line. very catchy. Well-carried also. there's quite the dissonant sound near the end going.
Arrangement: the lead-out works wonders for the tune as a whole.
All in all, a great tune. I approve wholeheartedly.

Very relaxing intro..guitar kind of sounds like Dream On by Aerosmith. Singer sounds great for this song. Good job.
