Thanks David, I appreciate your funny comment smile Okay, I have to admit it took me quite a long time to realize what you meant with double-entendre in this context laugh laugh I'm not sure if that was intentional, I actually wrote the lyrics 8 years ago in Finnish, but while translating I didn't think about hidden meanings in that part. Maybe, maybe not smile ... or, in fact, I was more worried about that 'child' could be understood in a wrong way, so I didn't use direct translation in a later part. But thanks for making me smile smile

Well done!

Thanks Janice and Bud for your very positive feedback smile 'good pop song' makes me happy, because that was my goal (and always is) laugh

Your melody is a good pop contrast with the lyrics and I agree, your vocals are excellent here.

Thanks Robert, I appreciate your kind positive feedback smile I'm glad you liked the tree image, here in Finland our Christmas tree decoration is quite simple, but when watching American movies, I can see that the trees are full of everything - I probably have got the idea from these movies.

Thanks Ghostgum for your nice review of my little song smile It is fun to write fellow songwriters on this forum about subject that is very familiar to them.

Both of them show your originality fully.
It is also very effective that the bridge melody appears at the end of the song.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Thanks Shigeki Adachi for your comment, your words are always very heartwarming smile Yep, there are chords like Cmaj13, F#m11 and G#m7b5 so it's not really that simple for a simple song smile Positioning bridge is always bit difficult but I like to leave some small surprises to the end of the song.

Hi Janne,

Wow! This is really catchy and very inviting music. I love it! I'm sitting here right now with my feet tapping up and down on the floor and swaying my head from side to side.

Your melody is fantastic and the way that you've arranged is excellent! You've got a flair for creating good stuff smile And your singing.... it's full of confidence and shines with enjoyment. You held my attention from beginning to end and I smiled in admiration of your lyrics and music all the way through.

This is a wonderful listen!

All the best,
Noel

Hi Janne ...

You wrote, arranged, produced and delivered a terrific pop song. You made excellent use of the vocal oohs & ahhs ... just enough in all the right places. Your vocal is excellent ... gets better with each new song you post. I know you posted a long time ago that you thought you aren't a very good singer. I think you were so wrong with that perception of your voice. I thoroughly enjoyed this!

Best to you ...

Alan

Thanks Alan, I really appreciate your kind and polite comment smile Well, I'm still not a good singer, and without Melodyne I wouldn't put any song out, but maybe some day in a distant future that can be possible… thanks anyway for your very encouraging words!

Hi Janne,

You've written a good tune that most of us here can relate to. Especially the part about overdecorating the tree and then suddenly you can't see the tree! I just have one critique - some of your phrases are very challenging to work into a song, getting them to sound musical. Of course, most of us statesiders know only one language, so perhaps we should be impressed regardless. I am one to use some tricky phrases myself (takes one to know one), and sometimes I ruin the prosody of my songs. So I know what it's like. But overall, a good effort and very well received here on the showcase forum.

Thanks TuneMonger for your nice words smile And I'm glad you liked the tree metaphor smile Because I have no ear to hear if some English phrase does not sound good, I'm open to all suggestions to make it work. This forum is really kind, still I hope to get such a feedback that I don't keep on repeating my silly mistakes laugh

Jannesan,

Very engaging tune . . . pretty melody that attracts the ear right off. And I agree it’s one of your best vocals . . . there’s a softness in your voice that fits right into the mix. And the mix itself is expertly put together. Really nice work on this!

My best to you,

Deej
