Andi,
I’m late to the party on this one—been a bit absent from the board lately—but this is a terrific listen. I don’t think I can add much more to the comments above . . . but I agree this is a refreshing tune to hear on the board, with a very imaginative and stellar production. Catchy chorus! Enjoyed my listen very much.
All my best to you,
Deej

Hello David
Thank you for your honest feedback
I have dealt with the synth/dance tracks for the first time
Is already a huge selection available
Well the pronunciation is such a thing :-)
Will certainly never be completely error free...
But I will try it :-))))
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Hello Ray
thanks for your great tips
My pronunciation will probably never sound American.unfortunately ;-(
But if it's already on the level of the Scorpions in the late 70's,
it's not so bad and I can start my career ;-))))))
I saved your tips for the lyrics and will take them
into account when I do an acoustic version of the song.
Thanks Ray for such helpful criticism
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

"Andi, it's great that you thought enough to do a song to reach out to someone in pain! That's the wonder and magic of music, it can speak to someone no matter what style or genre it's produced in! You always do a nice job!"
Torrey very well stated that.
Some have mentioned the upbeat vibe versus the sad yet hopeful lyric. We feel that it works fine as is. We've done several songs in that fashion and feel that the contrast adds to the song's effect. Well done.
Your passionate vocal was perfect for the song.
And the backing tracks are well chosen and mixed very well. Everything has its place on the soundstage and sounds good.
Fine production!

Hello Marty
Yes, the song has a very sad origin.
But most parts of the song are positive.
I think so the actual message is transported well
That's what it's all about
Thanks for your positive feedback
See you soon Marty
Andi ;-)

I was really touched that you spoke about a tragedy and made a song out of it. Very 80ish vibes (in the good way). I second that after a couple of listen it get more and more catchy. You have a unique style and the vocals play a big role in it. Good job!

Wow. Thanks Torrey
Getting such great feedback from an expert is pretty special.
Writing songs to deal with blows of fate is a good therapy.
And writing songs to give hope and courage to other people is just as rewarding.
If it helps of course you can't know but it's worth to try it in any case.
Thank you Torrey for your great words
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

I's glad a got a chance to listen to this masterpiece.
Super groove. Uplifting lyrics, especially after that tragedy.
Great vocal.
Two thumbs up.
Tips on how to fall asleep in a living room chair:
1- Be old
2- Sit in a chair
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Hello Andi,
I have listened with interest to your song. I was a bit confused about the topic in relation to the music, like some others.
But when I listened again I could appreciate what you made. It's a nice connection between sorrow and hope and that alone makes it a good song.
I enjoyed it,
Hans

Hello Floyd
very nice that you like the song
was actually planned as a hard rock ballad, but only with BiaB not feasible.
But this way it is something different ;-)
Many greetings

Hi Project M,
Well-orchestrated composition with sounds that are not often found on this forum. The lyrics are well written and your voice lends itself well. Very pleasant composition. Well done.
Kindly regard
