COMMENTS ON EMOTIONAL IMPACT

Lyrics are good, there is a nice story behind them and the performance is right into the mood. The song's mood and atmosphere are very particular and grab the attention since the beginning... and keeps it thru the end. Genre and style are well defined, which is very important!
