I know that you may say my writing sounds cliché though I´m trying hard to write, right from my heart what can I do ? Should I quit it too ? Or just keep on trying anyway ?
You know you are right my writing doesn´t seem too bright lacking all the nuances so fine you´ll need in a song in a native tongue and that is not in my might
´cause I´m a foreigner with skills too poor yeah I´m a foreigner for that there is no cure
It is not the world to take a pen and write a word in a language not your own, my friend I used to think so but now I know and I´ve learned my lesson, I´m fully cured
´cause I´m a foreigner with skills too poor yeah I´m a foreigner for that there is no cure
Guess I´m just a fool and least of all, not pretty cool not a poet nor a priest at least but all the same I carry my name where I go so proudly with my tool(s)

Hi Dani Good song You really put a lot of emphasis on the background vocals. And that has paid off Really very nice passages Through your singing in conjunction with the background vocals Great work Dani Many greetings Andi ;-)
Nice introspective meta song right from your heart, that's all that matters I enjoyed the lead and backing vocals. Nicely upbeat melody and catchy chorus. Good forward rolling band. Happy holidays and great New Year 2023
Dani, We are all foreigners somewhere; you sound pretty comfortable where I`m sitting... and your song is a melodic and thoughtful listen. You blend lead vocals with harmonies as well as anyone on the forum. I enjoyed hearing you sing in a lower register than on many of your recordings. Well done.
Aren't we all foreigners? But that's a cliche too and beside that; Robert began his post with the same line... I liked your song, the brass vocals and the lyrics with their deep thoughts.
I missed you on the forum lately, but glad to hear you now. More brassy than before, but probably you are in Spain again enjoying life? I noticed you recorded the song on your laptop. But it sounds very good to me.
Dani, I enjoyed your vocals and the sentiment of the lyric. Your English language skills have never been detrimental to your writing. Sounds good! I enjoyed my listen, Tom
As Robert said, "We are all foreigners somewhere."
Heartfelt and well produced with lovely harmony.
Nice Dani! Happy Holidays,
J&B

This has a little different sound than I usually hear from you, but I like it! Kind of a Country Folk sound with lovely Vocal work! Really nice job working with those background vocals, both your's and the BIAB files!
Dani, Powerful pop tune. Very well constructed. Excellent vocal performance. I do think that oohs overpower your voice in a few places a little. Good one. Thank you for sharing.
