Thanks for the nice comments guys. I get the similarity to Oasis all the time, I suppose it's ingrained in me, first album I bought was 'Definitely Maybe' when I was 13 and have everything they released since and have seen them each time they played in Ireland so they are a heavy influence, maybe a bit too much. LOL. With regards the video, I see you guys have some Eagle eyes, I did the video in an afternoon with my camcorder in the studio and windows movie maker, my next attempt will hopefully be a bit more proffesional, but I like the whole idea of low budget and independent so I never want to be too flashy. Thanks again for listening and I hope to hear some of your guys stuff as I hope to become more active in this part of the forums.

I liked the song, not all that hot on the approach on the vid though.

Your vocals remind me of Oasis, a little, and I'll bet you get that a lot.  You have your own flavor, of course.
 
Man, I really liked the verses and the main chord progression but, in my humbled opinion of course, it all goes south during the bridge and chorus.  You're a bit pitchy, or maybe it's just too dry but when you're holding out your notes during the bridge I cringed a little.  The chorus was sung well, but it's forgettable.  I just got done listening to it two minutes ago and I can't even remember the chorus.  
 
I hope that doesn't hurt your feelings.  I don't mean to be an ****, just trying to be honest.  If people were honest with me 30 years ago I would have concentrated more and expected more out of myself when writing.  
 
And, of course, I'm just one jack-off in the world.  If plenty of people dig this tune, then who cares what I say? Right? Good luck, regardless.  You're talented, and again, I really liked the main chord progression and if it came on the radio, I would turn it up out of interest.

This is almost done, very nice job! Songwriting is solid, good tune writing and clean structure. Excellent!
 
I'm bugged that your verses and the pre-chorus ("got nowhere to run") both end the exact same way, on the same notes and the same C#sus chord. I wanted the pre-chorus to end on a different pitch. For example, why not go up to F (Leading tone) at "nowhere to run"?
 
I also agree that the intro and especially the little interlude with the organ kind of lets all the energy drain away. Maybe adding something more exciting in there to keep things afloat until the verse comes around again?
 
Here's my big criticism, though: I don't think your video is doing you any favors at all. The song is so much better than the video. I actually like the song better when I'm not looking at the screen. I found that as soon as I looked back at it, my estimation of what I was hearing went down. Weird effect. And it doesn't take eagle eyes to notice that the keyboard part in the video is NOT WHAT I'M HEARING! That bugs the crap out of me. Also, an unintented giggle happened because it looks like the keyboard readout says "Poo". :-)
