Hi all,
Here's an english song realized by a french man...

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/my-winter-will-be-mild

Even if seasons disappear
My winter will be mild
Even if the World conveys fear
My mind will remain wild
I’ve found my Universe
Very far from the Earth

Until the End I feel free to dream my life
Under my throat I don’t feel any knife

Lost in my thoughts, I’m still a child
Just playing with my mind
This winter always will be mild
Who looks for it will find
It’s like a new summer
Think I can’t dream better

Beautiful, even if I don't get all the lyrics.
I like your sparse arrangement, which leaves plenty of room for the singers and the wonderful melodies.
Well done!

Chris, very interesting composition, and the vocalists are nicely voiced. Pleasingly airy mix and master. Like BD, not sure about the lyrics. But enjoyed your tune!

Thanks for your comments, B.D.Thomas and DC Ron.
I'd like to know if the problem with my lyrics is about the pronunciation or about the meaning...

Chris, for me it's the meaning of the lyrics. Believe it's expressing a metaphysical mindset, but some of the couplets lose me, starting with the first one.

But I also think that lyrical ambiguity can be a good thing as it allows for broad relatability. So I would not be surprised if others identify with your lyrics immediately, and feel differently than I do. Then maybe it's not your lyrics at all, it's me.

I enjoyed your tune very much either way.

Merci pour cette chanson bien faite ,Christian. C'est vrai que lorsqu'on fait de la musique on est parfois ailleurs mais ce qui ne veut pas dire qu'on est à l'Ouest comme moi.
Amicalement

Thanks for your answer, DC Ron.
In this song, Winter is an allegory of the old age.
Dreaming one's life is a way to escape the suffering that the World generates...
Making music is a way to dream.

Loverly song, musically sophisticated, yet simply and delicately arranged.

Hi, Chris.

Nice melody and arrangement!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
