Hello Floyd
Thanks for your great feedback
Wolfgang was really pleased about your praise - thank you very much.
Your comparison to John Lennon is of course very flattering.
I am not a great expert on John Lennon. And to be honest I don't really hear any similarities.
But I'm not a very big music expert either.
And with your experience that will probably be true ;-)
As for the war in Ukraine, it is expanding more and more towards the West... and if the war was bad enough until now, it becomes more and more dangerous for all of us ;-((((
Wish you all the best Floyd
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Thanks, Andi. I have been so angry about the war in Ukraine I have been unable to write a protest song. I ask the U.S. Embassy Warsaw to issue 3 visas so I could bring a mom and two children to my home in Florida. I would go there to get them. I had in mind to fly to Warsaw and rent a car. This is the crap they wrote back. "Just send money and don't bother us" Poland, ACS Mar 11, 2022, 9:37 AM (3 days ago) to me Dear Sir, We understand many people want to help Ukraine and Ukrainians. While we strongly advise against U.S. citizens traveling to Ukraine, there are other ways you can contribute.

Médecins Sans Frontieres/Doctors Without Borders - MSF runs a range of activities in Ukraine working with local volunteers, organizations, health care professionals and authorities to help people travel to health care facilities and access prescribed medications. Voices of Children - The Ukrainian organization's Charitable Foundation helps provide psychological and psychosocial support to children affected by the armed conflict, according to its website.

Definitely sounds like Scorpions type of anthemic rock ballad (reminding me Wind Of Change and breaking of the Berlin wall), hopefully one day to celebrate freedom for Ukrainians on their Victory Day in Kiev. Good rock arrangement, guitars and vocals work very well.

Andi, what an emotional and poignant song
Everything is perfect in this mix
Lyrics like
"the smoke of death now blows through the streets
the people stand together and fight - no retreat
is it not insane ?
that one man brings them so much pain ?"
really hit home.
How can the free world stand by and let this madman kill so many civilians, especially when virtually Ukrainian able to fight is fighting for their country? Bombing hospitals, apartment complexes, people trying to leave the county, etc is extremely tough to witness.
This is your best to date IMHO
Have you ever noticed there are no lines to a bathroom at a water park?

Hello Noel
Thanks for your great feedback
The situation on site is sometimes extremely chaotic.
I can only hope that all my friends are still alive
I could already welcome a few friendly mothers with their children and they are also well taken care of. My sister was able to arrange accommodation for them. However, the fathers are still in Ukraine...
Hopefully the families will come together again
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Hello Marty
thanks for your great feedback
Wolfgang was very happy about your praise
Where people take their hope from, is honestly a mystery to me. Because they are helped as good as not !
But the Ukrainians appreciate it very much if you stand by them and try in your own way to help a little. That could give them a little strength for this long struggle....
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Good song Andi.
Aside from the immediate and instant feelings of horror and things that seem obvious, I have a hard time commenting on our current climate of constant and widespread political mayhem and evil. It is all so intertwined with multiple layers of corruption.
I remember when I was a kid they used to tell me: "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive."
Looks like our world is getting the worst of it right now.
Maybe, at some point, all of the ordinary people across the world will see what is going on in their own backyards and call a halt to it.
We are getting to that point I am afraid.

Hello Ray
Thanks for your feedback
Yes you are right about the Scorpions.
Sounds a little bit like that ;-)
Your text suggestions are cool
I added them to my text files
When I sing the song again I will come back to it
Thanks Ray

Hello Janice & Bud
Thanks for the great feedback
Little Sophie speaking the outro at the end is really completely messed up. She is so worried about grandma and grandpa in Ukraine.
And so are millions of people who are just in fear and worry about their loved ones.
Very very sad...
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Andi,
A compelling write, performance and production—lot of emotion packed in this one. Really like the mix, particularly as the second verse kicks in—nice tapestry of sound. Good stuff!
All my best,
Deej
