We felt like we almost saw that beautiful bird flying during the solo. You surely did get Kevin to sing with a lot of emotion in this one. Very impressive! Your sense of melody and phrasing is well captured by "him." The build and the dynamics from Kevin and the band made us more and more optimistic that he would see the bird.  The arrangement is perfect for delivering the sentiment of the write. A fine mix that open and airy setting up a great soundstage. And that number of tracks is way above our mixing pay grade! Enjoyed it! J&B

This is really well done. Kevin sounds great, and when he sings those high notes (even briefly going into to falsetto), it's excellent. You've really opened my eyes to the possibilities of Kevin! Thank you Brilliant production. I loved this journey. --Noel Thanks Noel, I appreciate your kind and positive comment Yes, there are many possibilities for these AI singers, you just have to find their best capabilities, usually by lucky accidents or listening to songs made by others, glad to be of help. Janne

Janne, what a great song.
You did a brilliant job on both that synth vocal and the mix.
"I almost kissed that girl
I almost saw that bird
and now my life's almost passed."
I think a lot of us older gentlemen can relate to those lines.
Excellent job on this song. Thanks Mario for your great feedback I'm especially glad that you found something you can relate to in my song, that's something I always like to hear. Janne

Good arrangement. The mix is good but a little too "crisp" for headphones.
Excellent work on the synths. Thanks Ray, I appreciate your warm reception I do all the mixing on headphones but I have probably lost the "crisp" frequences in my ears... Janne

I've never been a big fan of Kevin's voice, but other than that I really like the song.
Well done! Thanks B.D. for your supportive comment Too bad that Kevin is currently the best all-around Synth V male voice, other voices have quite limited genre suitability, so I couldn't select any other for this song, but I feel I got the best out of Kevin in this song. Janne

Kevin really soars in his upper register and sounds so real.
I really like the chorus.
This has a big theatrical sound.
Good composition. Thanks ES for your kind words Glad to hear that Kevin sounds real. Janne

Cool sounds!
I don't know if this song incorporates a Nordic melody, but it certainly has a slightly darker impression.
The highlight of this song is the part where Kevin sings in high notes.
I'm impressed by your wonderful songwriting as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thanks Shigeki Adachi for your nice review, always pleasure to read them I don't know about Nordic melody either, I think it is quite contemporary one, but most likely there is some darker appearance of our polar nights. Janne

Hey Janne, I didn't actually think this song was gloomy at all, I thought it was a great piece of pop music. Very emotional and the instrumentation kept it going, a nice driving sound. I guess everyone’s going really crazy with these artificial vocals huh??

If I ever make a video for this, I'll make it more optimistic than the song so that he will see the bird (at least in a dream)  Most of the guitar tracks are there just for doubling another similar one just to thicken the sound, so no special skills needed for mixing Janne

Hi Janne,
I have read your humble introduction and heard the song.
I read the messages and saw that almost (...) everyone was lyrical.
And I want to join them!
A beautiful and intriguing song with a very good performance of Kevin the AI.
I really ;loved everything in it, and most I admire your composition and lyrics.
The way the chorus was sung was very good.
All in all a pleasure for ears, heart and mind,
Hans

Hi Janne,
So many dynamics that fit together so nicely. The AI vocal is excellent. The mix is outstanding - especially considering how much is going on. Everything finds its own space without stepping on anything else.
lLve the chorus - strong and powerful. Your creativity really shines on this one. Thanks for a nice listen.
