Sorry you didn't like it!
The Bygones wasn't written just for musicians, but there's a possibility that in my musician mindset, I included too many terms that weren't friendly for non-musicians. I know some stuff like Rickenbacker and pentatonic scale especially would fly over people's heads now.
As for the song lyrics part... that scene was coded in two hours as well as two hours before the jam ended. It was never going to be perfect unfortunately, though I plan on touching the timing up a bit when the wait period is over.
I knew the ending would be controversial. Reception has been mixed on that part; some really like it, some hate it. I plan on expanding that scene a bit more in an update since I didn't get everything I wanted in it out there (ex. the jam version didn't conclude Ashley's and Pat's stories properly).
I hope you'll give it another chance when I update it, but I understand if you won't!
