Hello Will, MarioD, Stefan, TuneMonger, Noel96, Misha and Peter,
What very nice words you all used to describe your opinion on this song! If I wasn't 65 years for some days now I would have blushed by them. So thanks a lot!
Will, I let my wife read your letter in the hope that she would now look up at me with full admiration... that didn't happen, but she expressed admiration to your words instead. I could only agree, that htey were very very nice words. Though, I am sure you wrong yourself by saying that you cannot do something similar. You're the expert!
MarioD, you used the word 'Brilliant' two times. Take care with that. I almost start believing I am. Luckily my wife hold my feet to the ground. But thanks!
Stefan, I doubt if I did the right thing dedicating this song to you, after your post. You say i haven't seen you strict, but how to explain your reaction on my lyrics then? Only red markers in it, telling me what I did wrong. I only persist in keeping the word 'Jailish' in the lyrics, where you cried out you haven't heard of that word. Me neither, but I thought everyone will understand and so new words are born ;-)
And if one becomes 65, it's not logical to connect that age to the topic in this song. So you are not only (too) strict, but also mean.
TuneMonger, you expressed it exactly as it was; A bold concept. I thought I made all kind of songs, why not try a waltz? They are nice to listen to, but very complicated to com[pose. Well you told me I succeeded. Thanks for that.
Noel, your question about me having a fan club, intrigued me. But after consulting my wife and sons I have to give up this idea. They think it's already very heavy for them that I terorize them from the atic with my music and want me to keep it like that (at the most).
So I fear I don't have enough supporters... But I was very honored with your message.
Misha, calling my song a Vaudeville on heavy steroid is some kind of expressing. Even if I had to read it 'in a good way'. I think I will use your expression as a title for a new song. Love it (although I don't understand one syllable of it). My real aim was to raise the bar with making songs. Can I make a kind of waltz. And on my terms. And I agree, in my life I always tended to find my own paths. If that is similar to stepping away from norms? Not really.
Peter, your words I do understand (more than Misha's Vaudeville [teasing you, Misha]) and are so true. That's also why I hesitated so long to come with this song (the concept was made in march 2017), how would you all respond to a waltz, that kind of things. But I'm glad I did it (with Stefans' help on the lyrics), because your responses are all so kind.
Hans

Superb arrangement, very simple but still very rich, everything works and at right times: cello at the beginning and in the end and also in the interplay with the nylon guitar, good drums, light piano calms the song nicely before the chorus and the accordion is introduced in slow speed before that wonderfully working faster tempo chorus.
The touching story and your interpretation are really elegant and fragile. A waltz suits excellently for that melancholy mood.

Very nice work Hans! I like the complexity of the different rhythmic patterns in this! I kind of puts me in mind of something Billy Joel would do! Great lyrical composition and your vocal was excellent! Thanks, Torrey

Hans,
On second listen the way the song `s story evolves to the first time change came through- very well realised writing!
Your vocals always command attention- and the variation of intensity here is great.
Not sure about the ending...otherwise I very much enjoyed your waltz into your "golden years"!
Robert

Hi Janne, Torrey and Robert,
Thanks for your very nice replies and huge compliments. I was pleasantly surprised by this.
Janne, it was like you say, this story needed a waltz. I had never done this before, so it took me some time to make it then in 2017, and later in the last months of 2019. Thanks!
Torrey, now we both have a waltz! But when you compared my song a bit with work of Billy Joel, well... that is some compliment. Thanks!
Robert, I was impressed how you listened to the song, really! You know why? You are completely right with what you said about the ending. I was hesitating writing those lines there. Originally the character faded away, later on I didn't mention his ending at all, and here I wrote he becomes a star in 'your' sky. 'Your' wasn't really good, because there wasn't someone he was talking/singing to. I think it better could have been 'the' instead of 'your'. Unless this was not what you meant. Then let me know.
Hans
