Like the story behind the song, I dusted this one off and started production from scratch.

Acoustic. Eclectic. Music.
We are the "finest acoustic duo ever to originate from the English faculty in the history of Hornell High School". Okay, only. We have been an entity for over a decade, though each of us has played for many years.

Story behind the song
Got the image of an attic in my head and the rest fell into place.
Lyrics
Life on the Page Water stains and rafters, dust hangs in the air Breathing in the silence, faded book on a chair Tender words and laughter, tears of love and rage Fears of hope and rapture, ink scratched... life on the page June the day they married, years away, years at sea April returns a stranger to the life he's never seen Tender words and laughter, tears of love and rage Fears of hope and rapture, ink scratched... life on the page Open book....... closing, memories lost now found Children of children laughing, petals float to the ground Tender words and laughter, fears of love and rage Tears of hope and rapture, ink scratched... life on the page

Some serious writing here. retrospection and introspection. A rather dark and contemplative tune, like many of your songs are. They tend to give the listener a lot to think about. I really liked all the background touches, the hushed vocals, the harmonies, the strings were ace and the sparse but creative leads and harmonics were interesting. I dropped one star just because I thought the lead vox were just a touch too far out front (much better than buried tho!) That's nit pickin' tho and just subjective stuff. The song is excellent. Mixed in Audacity?
