The beginning with the guitar strongly reminds me of the music from Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind, but you probably haven't even seen that and it's just a standard guitar part. Anyway, it's got potential.
Thanks for the critique, Mory. Many of the things you point out were done deliberately for personal stylistic reasons, and I realise I can't completely please everyone; however, since you're a gifted musician and all, I'm glad you at least saw something to like in the piece. As for Eternal Sunshine, I actually own that movie, and this isn't the first time something I wrote has been compared to a Charlie Kaufman film.

And thank you everyone else who commented favourably!

I have yet to meet any guys through choir, (at least, guys who aren't unavailable and WAY TOO OLD for me...) but I do find a nice singing voice very attractive.
