Hi Roman, thanks for sharing. I agree with Amanda, you do have a soulfoul voice. Your passion reminds me of early Bob Dylan, very raw and feels so honest and intentional, purposeful. But I also like the lines referring to how "it's real." Just thinking about the 4 years under Trump, and even the Covid pandemic, there were moments that so defied the kind of lives we were used to that it did not really feel real. Rather quite SURREAL. The emphasis then on the reality of the sitatuation is sobering.

Thank you. And yes, it is easy for terrible events to feel surreal.
