Hi Janne,
I like the lyrics and singing them. I also like the drums/beats and the rhythm.
But I had some problems with the combination of it (music and singing).
It worked out a littlebit distracting from the singing of those very nice lyrics.
The vocals are verw well, especially in the chorusses.
Have a nice day, Janne!
Hans Thanks Hans for your positive review of my tune  Glad you liked the lyrics. I have made some fine-tuning on the mixing of the vocals, I'm not sure whether it worked out in your ears, but I can keep on improving things Janne

Hi Janne,
Good to see a new song from you!
Well written as per usual, I especially liked the chorus. Vocals sound great, but the lead vocal was hard to make out at times.
Overall a well constructed song, enjoyed! Thanks Dave for your pleasant comment I have made some adjustments in the vocal mixing, hopefully the lead vocal is now easier to understand. Janne

Great production, Janne, apart from the vocal getting lost in parts as others have mentioned.
Vic Thanks Vic for your listen and your positive feedback Janne

Janne,
Great, great sound! Love the lyrics and what you have done here with the Synth V voices.
Excellent arrangement and mix as well.
Bob Thanks Bob, I really appreciate your pleasant review Janne

Living within you meaning is better than living within your means. Wow, this is so cool, Janne. I LOVE the idea of the song, and you developed it so well. Dude, everything I read or hear from you makes me wish we were neighbors so we could sit and cure the worlds ills --at least our world. Outstanding images in your lyrics, and the vocals sound good, although as DavidC says, some phrases are tough to discern. The mix is so good, so if anything I'd raise the vocal. The song is so good. Productive 2025 to you, Janne. Thanks Marty for all your nice words Always pleasure to read what you think of my creations. I have now raised the vocal or rather levelled it and carved more room for it, hopefully sounds better now. Well, we can do our part to cure the worlds ills by making more meaningful music. And thanks for 2025 wishes, I could wish you productive 2025, but you have are already shown your productivity ... if you get more productive, I won't have time to listen to all your new songs  So I just wish you the best 2025 ever! Janne

Hi Janne. I really enjoyed listening to this. I love the style you chose and the instruments you used. In addition, I loved the way you set-up and used the eagle metaphor in verse 1. Then there is that chorus... I'm talking to myself
thinking what I should have said
fretting the past and the future
I'm living inside my head.
I could feel for your standpoint
but I'm proving my view instead
the wall of thoughts surrounds me
I'm living inside my head. I'm guessing that just about 100% of adults on earth can relate to thinking about what should have been said and fretting about the past the future. As I see it, that's really skillful lyric writing. Your work with Synth V is excellent. When I consider the facts that your first language is Finnish (a syllable-timed language), and that you create songs in English (a stress-timed language), you really do an exceptional job. I tip my metaphorical hat to you. As you would know, stress-timed languages require knowing about which syllables and words are slightly longer than other syllables and words. Moreover, to get Synth V to produce vocals that sound realistic, the correct placement of syllables/words not only relies on putting them on notes of suitable length but also notes that are suitably placed within the bar on the appropriate musical beats and between beats. You've got a lot to be proud of with this song. You also convinced me that I need NOA Hex! (You must have a heap of vocaloid voices.) Happy new year to you --Noel

Hi Janne,
I'm flattered to read you want to change everything in your song to please me and my ears. But have you read all the other posts on the song?
And it was a minor thing. The beat and the vocals made me write this to you. But the song itself is very good. Leave it as it is. I already am your fan ;-))
Hans

“Life's full of wonders” YES!
We can relate to the lyric and, like you, know very well the healing aspects of being in nature.
As well as the power of music (listening or performing.)
Excellent write, band and production.
In the bridge the synth sounds incredibly like Jakob Dylan! A good thing for us.
Now let’s go outside! 😊

Janne,I really liked the groove and especially the lyrics
But I had a hard time hearing the vocal in spots as they get buried in the mix
Everything else about this one is spot on Thanks Mario for your positive comment Glad you liked the lyrics, hopefully the vocal in the latest mix can now be heard little bit better. Janne

Very intriguing melody. I love the lyrics, though a few passages were congested within the melody. Overall, there is so much to like here. Breathy vocal worked well - many have mentioned that the levels were too low at times. Uber creative per usual for you. Thanks TuneMonger for your "uber" kind feedback Janne

Hello Janne
really a cool song
Very good songwriting
The parts with the spoken vocals are absolutely cool
Very varied and never boring
I like it
Well done
Andi ;-) Thanks Andi for your kind words Glad to hear that spoken vocals worked, I was bit worried about those parts because this was the first time I tried them. Janne

Interesting song, both lyrically and in terms of the instrumentation.
Different, but in a good way, with melodies that are catchy.
I love the choruses and the bridges, but in the verses the vocals clash with the instruments, so I'd either go for a higher vocal range or turn up the faders (or EQ the problematic frequencies) for the instruments to give the vocals more space.
But it's a good song nonetheless.

Janne, this is not typically my kinda genre but I really enjoyed this. Especially appreciate that you gave the chorus a melodic lift!
Dewey Thanks Dewey for your listen and pleasant feedback I think this song doesn't belong to anyone's genre, but I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed it anyway. Janne

Janne,
It's a great song to start off the new year with.
Synth V's vocals are also very smooth.
The melody is simple, but there are many elements of your characteristic that make this song even more exciting.
The lyrics are also great.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

And what you told me helps me to pay attention to certain details even more. Happy new year, I'll be waiting for your first song with NOA Hex Janne

J&B Thanks Janice and Bud for your kind and positive comment Interesting comment about Jakob Dylan, I have listened to The Wallflowers many years ago, I can spot some resemblance. I just calculated that I spent an average of 5 hours a day outside in nature in January Janne
