“Through thought-provoking images and emotions, this beautifully written exploration soars with some of the most poetic lines possible. With nods towards the inevitability of death and both the fears and comfort that come with accepting it, there’s so much depth to behold. The slow acoustic guitar plucks gently push things along akin to life itself, a little groove behind their intermittent strings while Jacob’s soaring rich vocals captivate front and centre. With a little Frank Sinatra reminiscence, it’s hard to turn this new elaborate single off.” – Review on Existential Magazine
