Re: Wrote me a new song... so I added some mando!
Whoa! What got me mostly is the dichotomy of painfully honest (honestly painful?) lyrics over a bright & bouncy instrumental - not something you hear every day. Nicely done!
I was about to comment on the harmony singing being consistently not-quite-synched with the lead vocal, then decided against it, THEN realized that it simply contributes to the vocal being both emotionally and mechanically opposed to the instrumental. Am I overanalyzing? Plus there's that unexpected word substitution, "kiss" for "miss" - painful & playful in a singal syllable!
And oh yeah, IMHO the mandolin lead & fills are just about brilliant.

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
