Stefan, you and Maha are my most treasured find of the last couple years. Man, I wish I was your neighbor. You always bring a laugh to my life. What an epic masterpiece of creativity. Your band (real and imagined) is the best! This is a love song of the most sincerest sort, Stefan. You're right, I cannot imagine the work that would go into something like this. Wishing all the best for you and Maha because that's what you've given us.

Hi Stefan and Maha,  This is incredible! I can totally believe that two years went into putting this together. The creativity of you two is off the planet. You are both geniuses at what you do. Music, audio and video entertainment doesn't get better than this. I hope you both have a good break. Best wishes, Noel

Stefan,
You packed this dense with hilarious images, great music and pure fun. A wild ride!
So much effort... You are one dedicated duo! I imagine you have a closet bigger than Liberace's packed with all kinds of props for your short films.
Sorry to hear of the dip in Mahas health. I hope things will get brighter and both of you will continue to make crazy and fun videos! Take good care of her.
Kind regards,
Misha. Thank you so much, Misha. For your lovely comment and even more for your good wishes. We still need them so badly, the situation is still cruel. All the best, Stefan

Hoi Stefan,
What a sensational video! So much to see; the peeing dog, the dancing gorilla, the signs the people, the declaration... well in short: everything!
Very well done. and I noticed it took you some time to make all this. But as I said, the result is marvellous!!
It is also a very big achievement, considering your personal circumstances.
Stefan, a big applause for this song and video!
Try to stay on this Forum if you can. You don't have to comment on everything (well, you missed my song and that is bad), as long as you can make music, it helps to deal with all the other things.
We'll keep in touch and give my love to Maha,
Hans
Deat Hans, thanks a lot for your extremely supportive lines. I will contact you as soon as things are improving over here. All the best, Stefan

Great video and song! All you really need is a big movie studio behind you to turn your creative and fun ideas into videos much faster, I don't like to wait for 2 years to see the next one  But I do like the homemade quality, it is refreshing. Your rocking style works always, good lyrics, good arrangement with horns and soloing. Excellent mix. I really hope to hear more of your and Maha's excellent work. Janne Hello Jannesan, thank you so much for that very nice and supportive comment. I don't have the slightest idea when we'll be able to put a new video together, but I still have 2 or 3 in store, so at least you won't have to wait for another two years. Kind regards, Stefan

As we said at YouTube, outstanding ... it's in your face, it's subtle and all things between! Not in our wildest of all imaginations could we envision the amount of work that video took. Work AND an abundance of creativity. Just syncing it all so perfectly to the audio amazes us. And driving the core of it all is a great song with fine vocal/instrumental performances, write, arrangement and all wrapped in Maha's excellent mix. All the actors were superb and Maha's performance was beyond cool playing three roles. Just great and most importantly FUN! We are saddened to hear of Maha's situation and offer all the best wishes, hopes, good vibes and prayers possible. J&B PS Yes we remember Mr Swanky and Flashy man Dear Janice, dear Bud, this time I have to thank you double for giving me your time: You not only took the time to watch that endless video, but also to write such a beautiful commen - you jnow how much I appreciate your opinion! And thank you so much for your good wishes for Maha. We're still in a nightmare, so please keep on thinking of her. Hope so much that y'all are in good health. Stay sage, Stefan

I really enjoyed the video story and the song is, as always, ace. THAT solo is icing on the cake...and the horn arrangements are tops too.
The song - rocknsoul excellence.
Your vocals are strong and clear - and REALLY reminds me of early Richard Clapton.
Loved it all,
fingers, thumbs, legs, eyes and arms crossed for a solid Maha lead recovery.
The video work is excellent.
I'll have to work out which program you use. Dear Ray, well, if that ain't the kind of comment one could dream of... Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked the thing. And let me also thank you for your great way of sendung Maha your good wishes - is it too cheeky to ask you to keep on crossing everything for another while - Mha needs it badly. As to the video app: I'm using Camtasia 2018. Although I also have the latest versions, I use that one, because editing is a PITA with the newer versions - so slooooooooowwwww. For some special effects Camtasia doesn't provide I use VideoPad and sometimes Pinnacle Studio. They (most of all Pinnacle) offer far more than Camtasia, but they're visually too complex for my eyesight - Camtasia is very intuitive. Always glad to provide more info - you can send me a PM. Thanks again and all the best, Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Very good song and a great video as well.
However, please don't spend time on replying to comments... concentrate all your efforts on Maha. It must feel like you both are deep down in a black hole in the moment... but please continue to believe that the future will bring hope and better times... I believe in that!
Wish you both all the best!
Will Dear Will, thank you so much for your very uplifting words. Yes, although it's not that easy, we don't give up hope and believe that life has got better days in store for us. Glad you liked song and video. All the very best, Stefan

First of all Stefan I want you to know that thoughts and prayers are headed your way from me! I sure hope that things take a turn for the better for you and Maha!
Your song is EXCELLENT as usual! You are one of the top talents posting here and every thing you offer up is totally pro in every way and that also goes for your video work (wish I had the ability to work with video like you do!
BTW, those horns are wonderful!! Thanks and take care, Torrey Dear Torrey, being one of your biggest fans your opinion always means so much to me. So you gave me a really good feeling with your most kind words. Thank you so much for them and, of course, even more for your good wishes and thoughts. We really appreciate your concern a lot. All the bestz, Stefan

Stefan, First of all the song is tops. It has a good beat and you can dance to it.  I am going to nominate your video to the Academy for best short film. The production is complex. There are a lot of little things going on where you have to watch it more than once to catch. "He kind of reminds me of Uncle Stefan..." Hahahahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! You and Maha are in my thoughts. Hi Scott, being nominated for the Oscar - that's what we've been waiting for for so long - thanks a lot for taking the initiative. And also thanks a lot for mentioning the danceability of the song - to be honest I've been a bit disappointed that noone mentiones elegant and sleek moves that (then) 68 years old fatso (=me)displayed . And, most of all, thank you so much for your thoughts. We'll keep in contact. All the best, Stefan
