Thanks for listening and the feedback and the offer, Tony! At this time (and maybe never), I can't do anything with this song except tweak it and make it better if it needs tweaking. Because 'the prince' was my dad's best friend and his family has already heard this song. Even if only the family and I like it, it can't change too much.

Like you, I really like this music, I think it's very pretty. The lyric, I can't say because I am too close to the subject. The prince was just as described in the song. A town leader, a good man who helped countless people in his life. If people don't feel anything from the character and story, I dunno what I'll do. This is the first it's been heard by anyone other than them, so, too early to say yet.

I am heavily influenced by storytelling and character songwriters, so, I write some sad songs as well as funny ones. This one is 100% true. I had meant to tell him how much I appreciated him and never did it. He got very sick, I kept meaning to go to the hospital and before I did, he died.

The trick in songwriting is to write songs that touch a pretty good percentage of the target audience of the genre. So, the question is, does "The Prince" make people feel emotion? I don't know yet!

And again, I'm not offended you don't like the lyric. Everyone has an opinion!
