Janne,

Cool song!
It's a mysterious song that you make me think this is just a minor tune first, but unexpected chords appear one after another.
I thought it was a song that made me feel your personality.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Very well done.

Thanks Peter for your kind feedback smile Glad to hear you loved the mallets, for some reason the normal realdrums sounded too dominating, but the mallets came for help.

Thanks Marty for your positive comment smile Very nice to read what kind of image the lyrics gave you, basically it's about a bar, but it can be interpreted other ways too.

Dear 'jannesan'...

Chord-by-chord, your song took me on a dark-colored musical journey that was atmospherically charged by the ethereal strings writing, and the restless, moody, siren's blues-speak of the electric guitar Real Track.

Your impressionistic lyrics were like a special effect, creating dream-like images that formed, solidified, and then dissipated like a mist in the night.

The Real Drums mallets performed at such a slow tempo provided a suspended-in-time feel that enhanced the sense of memories of the past floating to the surface of one's consciousness.

It was an intriguing listening experience.

I like where the melody takes me in the chorus.

Oh, and the instrumentation---loved it.

Very enigmatic sounding.

This line sticks out for me: "an asylum free from grief."

Thanks om for your nice comment smile I know you like vocal doubling, I usually do that for the chorus part, to make my voice sound decent - the better sounding parts hide the bad sounding parts.

Thanks Ray for another Gilbert reference smile I wish to be once called the master of melancholic pop songs, in my dreams only of course laugh

Your singing is very different from what I know from you, but very good.
I liked that percussion (mallets) in it. Gives the song some tension while on the other hand it is slowly flowing.
A nice effect!
And as always; very nice lyrics.

Well done Janne!!
Hans


Thanks Hans for your kind comment smile I haven't changed my singing much, so maybe your observation is caused by the slow tempo and longer vowels. Glad you liked the mallets.

Slow 6/8 is a bit unusual, as it the percussion.

Loved the harmony on the chorus.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks Shigeki Adachi for your pleasant comment smile You are right about unexpected, I'm still not sure whether the song is a major or a minor tune, maybe that reflects also the two aspects of my personality. But I tried to smile while singing "stepping in", I hope that can be heard. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed your listen.

Thanks bluage for your beautifully poetic comment smile "dissipated like a mist in the night", very nice image, maybe I was after that image in the ending instrumental section. Couldn't agree more with the mallet comment, although I wouldn't have expressed it in such a nice decorative way laugh
