Janne,
Beautiful composition, dark indeed, but I love those lyrics.
Wonder what it would sound like in Finnish.
Speaking of which, AM and me were watching a Finnish tv series on Netflix.
We were struck by how different Finnish sound from other Scandinavian languages!

We really like this...all aspects of it.
As others have mentioned the country band has a very different and effective sound. The production would fit perfectly in about any Americana playlist. And Americana is full of strong productions.
That 2691 solo is one of our favorites. It seems to fit so many genres and you used it to perfection.
And as floyd mentioned you vocal fits very well in the mix.
Nice!!
J&B Thanks Janice and Bud, nice to hear you liked my song, I appreciate your positive feedback  Janne

You've done a great job writing and presenting this. Everything sits together very well in my headphones as I'm listening this morning.
I found the overall sound very haunting. Even now, 10 minutes after the song has stopped playing, I can still here the chorus in my mind. It's easy to hear that a lot of careful consideration has gone into creating the final production.
I really like how you sang "Say goodbye to love" followed immediately by a repetition of the phrase with a slightly altered syllabic emphasis. That's a pretty advanced lyric writing technique and you've used it very well indeed!
All the best with the competition,
Noel Thanks Noel, I always appreciate your positive feedback  I'm glad you noticed that altered emphasis. Originally (in my dream) the same emphasis was used twice, but I wanted to give it some variation and to avoid possible copying of some other song melody. But whatever you write, it always feels like it has been done before Janne

Love, love, love the chord changes and clearly distinguished musical passages. You clearly know what you're doing. Melody is great and delivered with a sadness befitting the lyric. Really enjoyed this. Thanks Tangmo for your kind words, I'm glad you liked the melody and the chord changes Janne

Great arrangement. And nice contrast in the melody between the verses and the chorus.
I enjoyed the song and your mix. Thanks gruverider for your kind and positive words Janne

Rob Thanks Rob for your kind words I haven't thought of translating this one into Finnish, because the title came to me in English and the song was then written especially for this international Xtra style contest Yes, Finnish is not related to Germanic languages like other Scandinavian languages. It is closer to Estonian and Hungarian. Janne
