Hi, Janne. I always look forward to your new songs. You have created a new genre of what I would call Arena Neo-Classical, if I had to give it a name and that may be an awkward attempt on my part. It's a rich sound, epic in size, filling up a huge space, atmospheric, as are your melodies. Your style of composition is different and enjoyable, unlike anything I've heard here or on Broadjam. You stand out as unique and that is enviable among artists who strive to find their sound. Your story lines and lyrics are unique as well, finding stories to tell us in ways that the rest of us haven't thought of. I really find your arrangements to be phenomenal like a majestic sunset, very intriguing and interesting. Very well done! John

A very happy birthday to you, Mario! Love that slow late night lounge styled jazz, and it sounds like you're a cat that's mastered it. John

AB, like BD said, a very good catchy tune, and interestingly the chord progression and hard lilting melody sound like a Rockabilly structure, yet with synth organ and electric rocking guitars which really updates it and is an intriguing way to arrange it. I really liked listening to it! John

Mario, So good so hear such positive comments on this song! This is perhaps my favorite melody of all the songs I've written. I'll let Kathy know (will send her link to this post). One more thing about Kathy as a lyricist -- she did an incredible job writing a great love ballad like this one and especially from a man's perspective. AurealiusB

I'm not really a big Jazz fan, but this song has such a nice "late-at-night-in-a-smoky-bar" vibe that I _really_ like it. Happy belated birthday, Mario! Thanx Brian, I'm glad you liked it and thanx for the birthday wishes.

Beautiful slow easy jazz Mario. Love how you made the Swam Trumpet sound so real. Very enjoyable music to listen to! Thanx so much. I do like those Swam instruments. They can sound very close to the real instruments.

Hi Mario! I know what Style you used for this one - birthday style! What a relaxing, contemplative piece. I could picture myself leaning back in a chair after consuming a generous slice of birthday cake, crumbs down my jumper, and a glass of Bailey’s Irish Cream. Loved it. Andrew You got me Andrew. I just spend 2 hours looking in BiaB for the birthday style and I don't have it! Actually it was a pizza with a pepperoni on my t-shirt and a bottle of beer.

Sounds like a walk down a little up street in the 1950’s, Mario. Nicely moody. Vic Thanx Vic. I love the jazz from the 50's and 60's. Miles, Coltrane, Wes, and The Bird just to name a few.

AurealiusB, this is an extremely clever song. I thought this was going to be about guns, that is until I heard the lyrics. You made Kathy's lyrics come to life. Great vocal, harmonies, and backing tracks. IMHO this is your best to date.

A very cool and interesting song. Your vocal sounds like a song I've often heard played on Coast to Coast radio. It's also about UFOs. Nice rock feel. THANKS, Aurealius! Not saying I couldn't have channeled another vocalist, but don't think it was THIS one. It's a nice performance, but not remotely similar except for the subject. But...who DOESN'T love a good UFO song??? Hey, Ron. I really like it! It's the best song Weezer never wrote! Very catchy, bouncy, light, irresistible pop. John Ha! That's funny, John. I often hear a new Weezer song and think we could have written that. River Cuomo is my kinda crazy. Hi Ron, As always, another lovely song with incredibly clever lyrics and sung beautifully too, including with your backing choir. My immediate question is, how did you come up with this idea? Was it after your president released those UFO files? I haven't heard anything about it since then, except for your lovely song! And I experienced the same thing as Dave. I was typing my message to you and then "Spot on the wall" followed, another lovely song. I say: very well done, chapeau (meaning 'praise' here). Hans Why, THANK YOU, Hans. As for inspiration, it's all my brother's concept, and he doesn't provide a lot of background me most of the time. Have noticed that he'll take an interesting snapshot or headline and extrapolate a whole story from it. So wouldn't surprise me if some news blurb about our "transparent" government was inspiration. Frankly, folks here have been WAY more interested in the Epstein files, or so it seems. But I personally find alien lore MUCH more interesting.

Good one, Ron. Or is that a random name AI chose to call you? Ha! No, I've been "Ron" since before the birth of generative AI. But I don't think I'll outlive it. Ironically, I'm a little worried about what AI will say about me when I'm gone, knowing the online AI opinion trail I'm leaving behind...

I had to pass through the gate keeper's portal to watch and listen. Luckily it was just signing in - no way I'd provide ID to Goggle & Co. Nice bit of modern, high gain rock in the very popular genre of symphpopmetal with femme vox. The narrative - yes, indeed. The music - fits the genre really well but I'm not a fan of that guitar tone personally. ACE Thank you, Ray, for finding the time to listen and comment. As always, much appreciated ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)
