Very nice. Thank you for the invitation. We listened to the entire piece. Our only collective divergence from your opinion is that the lyrics were very one-level; there seemed to be a lack of metaphor and elasticity of words that, consciously or perhaps unconciously would further deepen the emotional impact. Of course, some listeners don't care about that either way. And we respect that eventuality. In What's Left to Finish? at moments, there is that same surface-level, scene-driven emotional impact (consider, for example, "I just smiled and said it all looks good to me. Then walked off to that little bench beneath the maple tree." We know from this that he's sad and couldn't really give a damn about the house's architectural plans). At the same time, however, like in the Bridge ("Gotta find some way to put back in what was never in the plans.") there is use of double-entendre and metaphor. Some people have even seen potential contradiction in the line. We welcome all reactions.

In any event, thank you for inviting us to listen to your fine work.

Ya-ta-hey!
