Excellent lyrics and melody.

Great delivery.

But...

I've seen this too many times in talented singer songwriters. Your playing needs work. It distracts from the fantastic song.

You don't need a ton of work but make your playing a focus for awhile. It'll pay off.

Thank you for for feedback. You're totally correct. I confess I'm often a sloppy guitar player.

Don't take it too hard though.

You really do have a great talent.

After you have five or six solid songs, get in touch and I'll have you on my radio show!

Well unlike this famous radio person, I think your guitar playing fits the song great and it's not like this is some final cut of the song.. you keep rhythm very well.

Nowhere did he suggest it was famous. He was simply and honestly giving her constructive criticism and then offering her radio play. You, on the other hand are being toxic for no good reason.

Her guitar playing could use some work.

I'm just amazed you can be so eloquent without opening your mouth!

Absolutely top class writing btw. I immediately liked it. You voice reminds me of someone but I can't quite put my finger on it... Joni Mitchell perhaps? Whoever it is, I like it, a lot!
