This is one of those songs that just spilled out of me. It was just "right there."

I started this by visualizing a scene and then writing what I was seeing and feeling. The
chords are meant to mirror the emotions. I really wanted to get some rich, warm colors 
to go with the emotions in the lyrics.
I wrote the words and music. It's performed by two other artists.

Hope you enjoy it, I'd love to get your constructive feedback.

Live performances are always welcome.

I like the song (music and lyrics). I like it is piano solo + voice.

The color of the main singer is quite beautiful. But when singing in duo..., it's always unison? Some vocal harmony would be great.

Although, as I said, I love the song, the chord progression is very familiar, some unexpected change would also be great.

Good work.

Exactly what I thought. Because the same chords are used throughout (i, VI, III, VII), your vocals could do some really cool harmonizing to make it seem like the chord progression is evolving when it's really not. Maybe during the "something, somewhere" part you could have you could have them start in seconds then resolve them to thirds, or even fourths sometimes depending on the chord inversion. 

Also you could throw your audience off a little bit by throwing in an 8 bar progression to mix it up: something like i, VI, III, VII, VIM7, III, Vsus4, V. Your song! I thought the lyrics served your purpose quite well too. Nice...
