Hi! Love your song and your voice. Your voice is perfect for the genre with excellent pitch and dynamics. The lyric is quite good, also.
- Double Trouble
I really like the instrumentation and the vocal quality of this song. The lyrics are difficult to hear sometimes. Had to listen a couple of times to try and understand the theme. But I think it's about someone passing away and the feeling that someone close to them felt. I think the words could be arranged to tell the story clearer or in a more popular theme pattern. But I love the arrangement and the vocal production.

Lyrics
TOMMY
(STEVE DAFOE 2006)
(COPYRIGHTED)
VERSE 1:
BEFORE THE DAYS OF NOW AS
POWERFUL IMAGES STILL REMAIN
HE WAS BARELY A YOUNG MAN WHEN
HIS HEART STOPPED IN THE DARK RAIN
A BEACON OF HOPE IN AN UNCERTAIN WORLD
CHORUS 1 :
I STILL HAVE TO CLOSE MY EYES AND PINCH MYSELF TO
REALIZE THAT YOU'RE NOT HERE AND THAT YOU'RE REALLY GONE......
A LIFE SO BRIGHT, JUST A SHINING LIGHT, JUST A FRIEND TO ALL...
YOU COULDN'T OVERCOME...YOU JUST COULDN'T WIN THIS FIGHT
OH SO TOMMY....WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO?
OH TOMMY...THAT WAS THE DARKEST OF NIGHTS........
VERSE 2:
AS THE THUNDER ROLLED AROUND AND
ON ANOTHER DAY OF FOG AND DARK RAIN
GOD MAKES A CHOICE FOR HEAVEN AND OR HELL
THE SILENCE OF THE PAIN AND SORROW ONLY
BROKEN BY THE RINGING OF CHURCH BELLS
CHORUS 2:
OH OUR TOMMY TOMMY...WHY DO THE GOOD PEOPLE ALWAYS
.... ALWAYS HAVE TO GO?
YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND AND YOU BELIEVED MORE IN ME THAN
I DID IN MYSELF.......
OH SO TOMMY........WHERE ARE YOU KNOW?
OH TOMMY........WHY THE FINAL BOW?
VERSE 3:
BACK THEN I COULD BARELY COMPREHEND LIFE
LET ALONE THE MAGNITUDE OF DEATH...
FOR HIM...NO FUTURE...NO DREAMS.....NO WIFE
THE MEMORY OF THE HORROR MEANT
TOMMORROW IS PROMISED TO NO ONE.....
