One (Audio)



This song has a simple message, kind of a reminder to myself also: small thoughtful words can be of great importance to someone and one true fan is more valuable than number of listeners or likes in the social media.

Thanks again to Miira for her great vocals. At first I thought that this song would not fit her voice, but she managed to sing so well that I don't have to look for another singer.

Lyrics:

You don't need a crowd to praise you
when you play guitar
You only need one to tell you
how important you are
you only need one to find you
among brighter stars
to show you your worth
you are her caviar.

Often I look for more favor
but I am too blind to see my own greed
one is enough for the blessing of life
I already have what I really need.

You don't have to live from the likes
of the virtual mind
you only need one whose feedback
is thoughtful and kind
you only need one who follows
the path you've designed
who's honest and real
and won't leave you behind.

[Chorus]

I still cling to the fleeting moments
those time grains in a sandglass,
I should seek the rare things
that won't go with the first tide
dissolve when decades pass
but stay by your side.

Are you the one not afraid of
throwing herself out off the safe ground?
Are you the one who wants to dive deep
knowing there's a pearl waiting to be found?

Cool song!

I love where the melody and chords go

some unexpected but beautiful turns

very nice vocals

Super mix, super song

enjoyed the video too

Kenny

Super song and video. Loved the vocal and backtrack well done

Hi Miira and Janne,

Very nice song with an interesting chord pattern. Miira has such a lovely voice. And yes, this song is a perfect fit for her voice. Everything works so good in this recording - the backing tracks, the chord pattern, Miira's voice - everything.

We enjoyed this very much. Best to both of you,

Alan & Di

small thoughtful words can be of great importance to someone and one true fan is more valuable than number of listeners or likes in the social media................AMEN!!! This is beautifully done!! I think Mira is perfect for it. It has sort of a Cranberries vibe. Very pleasant, very melodic, and well arranged/mixed. Excellent job with this one!! Take care. Greg

Thanks Peter for your kind words, and thanks liking also the video

Janne

Thanks Kenny for your nice feedback, especially about the vocals and video I'm really glad you found the chord turns beautiful

Janne

Janne,

This is very nice! Miira's voice and way of singing strongly reminds me of the female singer of the cranberries (Dolores).
Good and thorough musical arrangement.

Rob

Janne, beautiful song! Great sound all around with excellent vocals and I really like those chord changes in the chorus (very creative and melodic) Thanks, Torrey

Hi Jannesan, Beautiful work with this! Great form and lyrics too. A really great reminder for everyone doing creative work too. Thank you for sharing this with us!

Thanks Scott for your kind words, especially about the video and vocals

Janne

Thanks Alan & Di, I'm really glad to hear you liked the song and Miira's voice And mentioning the chord pattern, twice, makes me happy also Hope you to hear more songs from you, too.

Janne

Hello, Janne

Very good song as usual.
Very nice melody with very nice chord progression.
I especially love the bridge melody.
Mira's vocal is very very pleasant.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thanks Greg for commenting and quoting my words Interesting reference to Cranberries, I haven't listened to them much before, but now I'm going to. Glad to hear that you think Miira is perfect for this.

Janne

Thanks Rob for liking I'm now listening to new Cranberries album, so hopefully I can hear the connection between Dolores and Miira.

Janne

Thanks Torrey for your positive words Nice that you mentioned the chord changes, I always try to have something that doesn't follow the usual paths.

Janne

Thanks Joe for commenting and liking the song and its message

Janne

Thank you Shigeki for your kind comment I'm pleased you liked the chord progression and the bridge melody - I'm satisfied with it also, because it is bit unusual, but still close to my own style.

Janne

Janne,

Great song! Love the rhythm in this - excellent job!

Bob

Janne,

I really enjoyed this. I'm a fan of Miira's singing and she really does this justice. It's an excellent melody and it seems to me that you've arranged it with a great deal of thoughtfulness and musical strategy.

Another fine song for your catalogue!

All the best,
Noel

Awesome.

If you want one fan you have one--me!

I loved this.

Thanks Bob, I appreciate your comment

Janne

Thanks Noel for your kind comment, first class feedback I'll let Miira know her singing has another fan

Janne

Thanks my fan for loving my song

Janne

Wonderful write! Great chord progression!

I would like to hear her vocal a touch hotter in the mix. It's so well sung.

And the electric guitar (mid-left) sounds great.

much enjoyed!

Thanks for your kind feedback I hope to learn more about mixing so that I can make her vocals hotter one day

Janne
