Thanks Marty for your always positive comment smile Glad you liked the Melodyne idea, I have used it once before, bird songs are so complex that it is hard to mould them into my own melody... The song is actually about only one bird and the bird is also a metaphor here for a special person. Anyway, I will take a few dBs out of the bird part.

A lovely piece of nostalgia pop.


Thanks Ray, I appreciate your kind feedback smile "A lovely piece of nostalgia pop." very nicely defined smile The chorus is more in the style of my melodic pop (inherited by listening to the 80's music when I was young).

I have now added more compression to the backing vocals and lowered their volume so hopefully they are better now. I guess those birds are always intrusive for many people, even when less noticable, but anyway they are mixed also little lower now.

The excellent lyric, melody, track choice and mix all make for a wonderful and enjoyable production.

Lovely song and sweet video!

Thanks Janice and Bud, I always wait with great enthusiasm for your pleasant feedback smile Especially because I know your love of nature. Good that you got the Carole King vibe.

Glad to hear about your wrens, they are difficult to see, but always nice to hear their singing, it is a nice, but tough challenge trying to find them in a forest. I was very happy to notice couple of juveniles this week, although they were so quick I didn't get any pictures...

Lovely song! The synth voices sound fabulous.

Yes, a 60s/70s sound, which I am particularly found of.

Good composition and instrumentation that fits the song well.

Thanks Dave for your nice comment smile I'm glad you liked the chord progression, nowadays I write the chords first, then the lyrics and the melody comes last, in this song's case I think I had the chorus melody ready before the verse lyrics.

This is so beautiful! I'd personally leave the birds as they are, but that's your call, of course. Loved it, though ... melodious and stunning lyrically, too. The voices are well handled, but, for me, the songwriting is what makes this song. Well done smile

Janne,

Love that 70's classic pop/rock sound of the with those maj7 chords! I could hear James Taylor and or Carol doing this! Everything sound sweet to me!

Thanks, TB

Thanks, it is really heartwarming to read your kind words smile "melodious and stunning lyrically" - as a songwriter those are the goals I'm pursuing, so your words make me feel I have succeeded. Thank you once again <3

Hi Janne ...

You truly exemplified the Pop-Folk sound of the 70s and early 80s. Indeed, a Carole King coloring and arrangement.

Thar small amount of vibrato on the held words gave the girls such a true sound. Excellent choices for backing tracks. Your work is always such a pleasure to listen to. This song is very relaxing and calming. A wonderful song so well presented.

Take care...

Alan
