The sound is pretty charming. It sounds kind of lofi. The playing sounds like piano is not the dude's main instrument. But that's ok...simple, honest stuff has a charm of its own. It's atmospheric. I'd say if it just flowed a little better it'd be, well, better. But good effort. The school yard kids thing reminds me of that old Belle & Sebastian song. I think the song is called "If You're Feeling Sinister".
