The unusual chord changes, the abrupt transitions of tempo, the ritualistic, incantational sound and style of Ms. Mira's vocal performance (as though she was casting a spell!) -- it's like you created an entirely new musical scale for your song where astrological signs replaced the typical musical notation. The choral arrangement is dramatic and mysterious in its effects.

The imaginative lyrics quite literally describe a personality so powerful as to possess the ability to "conquer every corner", "suck all my energy", and "repress without me noticing", to drain a room of its "oxygen, light and its rays", that "darkens the stars and the moon" and "withers the tree of life." They complement the shape-shifting mood and feel of the song. It's as though you're describing a sort of vampire.

At its most experimental, this what is music composition is about -- blending old and new, ancient and contemporary, the past and the present, to jar the listeners' ears, titillate their minds, and shake-up their souls.

"Olen sulle ilmaa (I am air to you)" is a heady, magical stuff. It's like music from another reality in another, possibly hidden corner of the Earth (like, Finland, perhaps? blush) , and that makes it absolutely unforgettable.

Thanks Loren very much for your analytical and insightful comment, I truly appreciate your beautiful words, finding so much to say about my song, you really made my day smile Magical, from another reality, I'm glad to make something so unforgettable blush I really like blending many styles and instruments, going through tens of instruments just trying how they fit... and BIAB makes it so easy, thanks PG Music smile

The story is about persons who are usually nice, but somehow we get tired in their company. Really intriguing comparison to vampires, makes me smile laugh Nicely said also about Miira's vocals and choral arrangement, like casting a spell, so true, she made great work.
