Something that makes me enjoy this tune but also get taken aback each time I play it is its structure -- would A B A' C be an accurate way of describing it? At the end of the first A section, I keep expecting it to repeat (as per the more typical AABA structure of the GASB); the jump to the Cm feels earlier than expected. At the same time, I like how the tune gets straight to the point, laying out the story.
On another note, I feel like I'm getting more and more comfortable playing actual lines over the chords, rather than just hitting whatever the highest string happens to be in a chord shape, if that makes sense. Still a long way to go, but recording these tunes, sharing them, and getting feedback (both positive and negative) have been invaluable in having me grow as a player-- so thanks all!

Yeah ABAC is pretty common …
Like Someone In Love
My Ideal
All of Me
All of You
There Will Never Be Another You
etc
And great! Sounds really nice once again!
(this is also maybe my very favorite American songbook standard)

You're absolutely right! Maybe a better way of phrasing it is that because of the structure, the "drama" of the tune sticks out to me a bit more.
