You must be very proud. Not only writing and playing her own songs at the age of 12, but recording them too. Very impressive.

I can’t say how impressed I am with this little sweetheart. Such wonderful and heart felt lyrics. Personally I have know problems with timing in a song like this. The tempo follows the emotion of the song, little pauses add to the emotion and draw you in. As a songwriter why not play with timing it adds tension, excitement and can be used very creatively. Her voice is so honest and inspiring. I am blown away by her lyrics (from the mouths of babes) so full of feeling and wisdom at twelve years old. For a first recording I find this pretty remarkable, at that age I was using an Awai mono tape deck with three inch reels! I removed the erase head so I could record sound on sound. You have given her a very special gift. A gift that will allow this young talent to expand and grow musically listening to her recordings and the ability to critique them. She has a strong beginning in songwriting that I have not achieved in the fifty years of playing writing recording and gigging. A strong new talent in this crazy world of music!
I have a 12-year old boy who plays the guitar and has been raised in a music-loving family. I wish he was able to do half good as your granddaughter.
That said, the only thing I can notice is the vocal harmonies that are sometimes off key and timid, but there is no doubt she will soon come up with nice harmonies too.
You must be very proud .
