Original song - The story of a young Englishman
This song is a story, as told in the title, and the music is written using classical melodic arpeggios in a late 1960'sdecadent pop style with timeless English rustic appeal. What do you think?

Lyrics:
He was a fine young man
He was going to the Ivy League
Then he turned nineteen
And went crazy
He took his momma's car
He drive really far
Cause he a song on the radio
That day
"Drive the car!"
We will always love you
Even in the bad days
We will always love you
Even the good days
We will always love you
He was a fine young man
He was going to the Ivy League
Then he turned nineteen
And went crazy
He got a message from the telly
He was to meet a celebrity
Cause he always thought
He's always be
We will always love you
Even in the bad days
Will always love you
Even the good days
We will always love you

I enjoyed this song, I liked it, thank you.
It fell into my narrow field of musical interest unlike your previous submissions.
The opening riff reminded me of "Paint it Black" by RS which was interesting.
You obviously have talent which you will develop in whatever direction you choose.
I can only repeat what others have said and project your voice more.
The lyrics are too abstract to appeal to a wide audience, consider providing a more descriptive road for your listeners to travel along, e.g who are "we" oft referred to?
A few things to ponder like most songs, but still an enjoyable listen.
Thanks

Structurally, I like how you repeat "He was a fine young man" the 2nd time, then switch it up at "He got a message from the telly" I think that works well.
Like the chorus with the vocals panning left/right.
The lyric doesn't speak to me with any particular message - but that might just mean I'm not the audience for it.
And your playing is always a highlight.
I found it interesting and engaging.
