Sometimes The Light

Hi All
Got this tune and melody, and maybe a title. Wondering if anyone is interested in a co-write? Piano based, Sam Smith, AC?
Here's the track with my scratch vocal to provide the melody. There's a few phrases I like but you can safely ignore them - they're just stubs to demo the melody:
https://soundcloud.com/si_jackson/somet ... ch/s-Rv3si
And track only: https://soundcloud.com/si_jackson/somet ... ck/s-e5XO5
Totally open to co-write. Haven't worked out what the song is about, yet. I quite like the hook: sometimes the light/sometimes the load. Maybe mood swings, things being harder than they seem, the fading of a relationship over time, a flash of realisation, self-insight - being too bright, hard to acknowledge?
My thoughts for the track are to swap in a better piano patch - I have Grand Rhapsody. Maybe add some guitar. But otherwise pretty stripped down.
Also thinking to go to a classic verse-refrain structure, shortening the first chorus.
Let me know if you're interested.
Best, Si
