exactly! So very different and fresh!

It would be one thing if you simply had a never-ending river of inventive new ideas.. which seems to be the case... but the fact that you so relentlessly do justice to each new theme is just amazing to me! Whereas some of us are just hobbyists who have cool software (I speak mostly of myself), nobody could ever deny that the two of you are true creative people who know how to tell stories in an audio-video presentation!

The intro, with brass, sounded so professional to me, like intros I've heard in classic top-notch songs.. I think the intro is my favorite part.

But the very concept was already a home run before you ever started working on the execution of it! There was so much that had to come together here... the idea, the lyrics, the translation, the vetting of the translation, the pronunciation, the composition... all of which you nailed!

But in some ways, this is not far from your recurring theme of relationship-based story telling. This song speaks of two different relationships, both of which ended in disappointment for various reasons.

If there is anything more marketable than love songs, it would have to be songs about failed love. Your man-woman song writing team gives you a unique insight into love from both perspectives, so you have a real advantage pursuing this market.

As videos for your songs go, I tend to be surprised by the creative approach taken, and how it varies from song to song. Sometimes you pick one aspect of the song, and develop the whole video around that theme... like the owl and the spider videos. This time, you let the video provide a visual account of the song. Arguably, a less artsy video in some ways but without a doubt, one that maximizes the story's impact. I thought it was one of the best videos yet in terms of composition, style, attention to storyline detail, and sophistication. In the same sense that the song itself shows mastery of music-making software, the video also shows mastery of the video editing software. It left me with the feeling that I had just watched a short indie film at Cannes.

If I were a real music critic, I would have to give this song a standing ovation... for me, it works very well on so many levels that it clearly deserves recognition. Y'all are onto something here... keep up the amazing creative work or play or however you would describe what you do!
