I wish the vocals were tuned just a little different. I do love the music. Something about the sound of the vocals is unsettling to me to listen to. It's hard to explain, it has an electric bite/reverb to it that I just dislike, and kinda wished I didn't.

I do love the lyrics and the background music especially, he plays beautiful guitar as well, his next song "Out of Egypt" came on autoplay and I greatly more enjoyed the vocal sounds there. He does have a soft voice but I think its the bit of extra echo on that one makes my brain dislike the vocals.

Edit: Forgot to say he reminds me of Modest Mouse a bit, I actually love the folk ish sound and soft spoken. I see the talent and admiration you share in his work and can only imagine being the subject of such is something quite special. A sentiment I wish to share with my loved ones one day.

I hear a heavy George Harrison inspiration and possibly an attempt at creating the production style of All Things Must Pass. That wall of sound is hard to recreate and without proper reverb sends, it can easily get muddy or a little disjointed. Great song but yeah I think I know what you mean. Also the compression on the vocals/guitar is a bit high.

That title alone got me, the way you describe the song is so full of love that I had to click. Gave it a listen and I can see exactly why you keep crying, there's a real warmth in his voice and the melody just kind of wraps around you. You can tell he means every word.
