I entered a music contest last week. The goal was to translate a national or international hit in the Frisian language. A jury would select 6 entries that proceed to the next (final) round. In the final round the winner will be partly determined by popular vote. The price for the winner is to perform that song on a music night starring several artists for an audience of some 7000 people. I must anounce that I dd not make it to the next round. Here's a link to my entry anyway and I hope you'll enjoy it. I plan to release this song as a single regardless the fact that it didn't make it in this contest. For the complete picture: Here's a pae with the six songs that did make it. .

Hi Mike,
Congratulations!!! I love the groove on this song - so full of energy. Your vocals match the drive of the song perfectly.
All the best, Noel

Sounds good to me. Great vocal with super backing tracks.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Great job, as usual, Mike!! Now, I bet you could do a terrific job on Springsteen's "Tenth Avenue Fris-Out."

Hi Mike - thanks for posting this. I was quite amazed at the quality level of your entry. Of all the six finalists - and I listened to all of them, yours was certainly the most current musically, very tight, lots of energy. The others seemed to be very "folky" in nature and even though ABBA is not from your country, I could definitely hear an ABBA flavour to several of the other songs. Of course I hadn't a clue what they were saying. LOL Good luck with the release. Ian

Well done, Mike! You tried in any case and sometimes it just doesn't pay off (competition I mean).
Funny, I thought 'Ik libje net foar dy' meant 'I love you not for a day' and not "ik leef niet meer voor jou" (I live no mor for you).
Still, congrats my Dutch buddy!

Thanks for the listen and your kind remarks. @Iann: I would indeed be upset if some other competitors made the final round and I didn't, but I am fine with the ones that made it . @Wiensam: You can never just translate a song. Ofcourse the flow and the rime have to be right, but also the use of language. There are things that cannot be translated and there are things that are simply not used in a certain way in a specific language or culture. For example the British English different in a lot of ways from the American English. I will re-record the song in a professional studio and release it. We'll see where it goes from there.

Good luck, Mike! Go for it!
BTW one word in the german language that my g/f uses a lot is 'skurril' and although it sounds just like 'surreal' in English, it has a totally different meaning

A dynamic and strong performance here (as usual) Mike. Sounds like it could be a Bond theme, with all that tension and hi-energy brass/strings.
Loved it, in fact!

Hi Mike, Let me pile on and say, "I like it," although i didn't understand a word of it. Your video shows an impressive array of equipment. I googled "Frisian language" and learned a bit. Don S.

Sheeeesh! I don't even know what Frisian is. But I liked the drive and overall sound of it. You sure can hit those high notes Mate. Good on ya. I'll bet you got honorable mention, at least with that work. Hope it's a big success after you make the pro recording. Doubt they'll be able to do much better than you did tho'.
