It is just perfectly beautiful (from a totally unbiased reviewer).

I listened to the song at first without reading the lyrics, and it totally painted a scene of some kids sitting on the bed actually talking about what the song was about. For me if a song paints an image in my head, it's golden. Not that every song has to do that, normally its just a message heard aurally but I connect to it more when I can see what the song is about rather than just hearing it.

I'm really stoked about the one I'm working now - it's about Jesus coming back as a midwestern trucker. Oh - and sleigh bells - if it's good enough for the Beach Boys and Radiohead, it's good enough for me. But it *does* end up sounding Christmasey - damn Christmas music...

It comes together very well. Interesting to see that you would have preferred more time with the lyrics. I wonder where else you could have taken them. I like the imagery: praying leaves and wrapping vines. I agree, the melodica is a nice touch -- sounds like a bit of Paree, no? I am really impressed with this song. It comes together very well.

Even the sleigh bells fit in there very nicely. If this is being prolific, I think you've hit it off without a hitch. Nice work! Change some of the lyrics to something about Santa Claus and put out a Xmas album for big money, big prizes The additional instrumentation really lends itself to this song extremely well.

Also... what's this song about? Is it about abstinence??? Or is it just about waiting for true love? Or perhaps a play on the slogan. The title "True Love Waits" is like a huge slogan pushed on teens and college kids by the christian conservative movement to tell them to wait to until marriage to have sex. +TRANSMISSION END+ That accordion sound works quite well.
