This is a perfect 3 minute pop song in which the chorus only appears once. How do you DO that?

This is a WELL WRITTEN song. I've been writing songs for 40 years, I love this tune. It's featured at the end of 'Worlds' Greatest Dad" a Robin Williams movie. I had to get on line and find it on youtube, and here I am. I had never heard of Brendan before, now, and now I am a fan. "TINY SPARK" Great tune.

@joeyheadset its because the hook is definitely the piano riff at the beginning of the verses wraps the song up nicely
