Strongest Point(s): The combination of Evan's vocals and the song's simple yet touching and soul-stirring melody tug at the heartstrings. From the slow, finger-picked notes flowing from the guitar it's a somber melody twinged with melancholy and is almost bittersweet in its sadness. the guitar is only accompaniment to his stellar vocals.
