In my personal opinion, this sounds really good! I don't really like the ending that much though, I personally think that the final words for each verse in the ending kinda drag on for too long.

So you would shorten it?

Personally, yeah. It's fine as-is, though; this is just my personal opinion.

Ahem, Colonel Servbot Song a Writing Critique GO!

First off, I think the sound of songs are like the graphic in a game, it doesn't always matter. Although I am not a fan of acoustic guitars, I will say that you, Mr. Steven Stone, have loads of talent up your sleeves. It seems perfectly orchestrated and put together. I would also say that the message of the song (a crucial part to music IMO) is very understandable, relatable, and great. The CSCB (Colonel ServBot Critique Base) gives this an 8/10.
Personally, I'd listen to it again. Good Job Mr. Stone.

Got to hear a smidge of it and I have to say your guitar playing is excellent. Work on your pitch a bit, though; your singing sounds a bit off at places. Keep up the good work!
