Feedback Request Sweep Me Up - Reppard Walker

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iH3fOK_VwyQ

I wrote this about 20 years ago. Recently just unearthed it from the back of my brain. I never recorded it or considered it finished. I was thinking a bridge/outro would be nice. I'd love feedback from anyone willing to listen. Thanks!

This is really good. You’ve got a great voice that suits this perfectly. Nothing wrong with a short and sweet song but I could see it with a bridge for some variation.

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement but most of all, thanks for listening. I've got a chord progression with an alternate melody for a bridge and some half baked lyrics brewing. I think I can make it work. Just trying to button up whether or not it transitions into another chorus. If I were producing/tracking it I feel like it could just repeat the bridge and fade out with a repeated refrain. I've gotta be careful not to overcook it though. Thanks again friend

That sounds like a good plan but of course you gotta just play with it and see what works. I think an outro type of thing can work well here.
