Hi Trygve,
there's something wrong with the song track.
It's only the vocals.
Guitar; Quinn Bachand
Keyboard; Blair Masters and Tobin Frank
Flute; Jack Stafford
Cello; Matt Nelson
are missing.

Leo, a really great effort effort actually.
This is a really interesting melody, with a lot of work obviously in getting the sone to this level.
You must be very pleased.
(My only other comment is that it might be a little too long?)

Nice work... The melody reminded me of the kind of song you might see/hear a Diva singing... something with a really interesting melody beyond the usual pop tripe.
Great job on that melody.
The downside.... I couldn't understand a single..... not a single word.... was it in English or do I need to get my ears checked? And yeah.... way too long, much over 3.5 to 4 minutes and you start to lose your listeners, and at 7:29 it's longer than Hey Jude which contained 3 minutes of unwarranted caterwauling.

Hi Trygve,
I agree with what has been said... a very nice melody.
Like Herb, I had difficulty understanding the lyrics.
Still.. a pleasant listen.

Thank u guys for nice comment... And yes, long, but hey, it's kind of a message... But if u could not understand a single word, then I guess the message did not came trough... Perhaps it has to do with the audio effect I putted there? Better if it was dry? Anyway, I'm thankful for u guys telling me honestly.. Giving me something to think about....and learn on my journey....

This was very cool. I am not familiar with the vocaloid. Very neat tool and I can imagine quite a serious bit of work. Very well done..

Pretty much the same as other have said - nice melody and arrangement, but it's virtually impossible to understand the vocals.
You might want to start with completely dry vocals, and then build the mix from there. I had quick listen to the solo vocals before you took them down, and (as you said) they've got a lot of effects on them.
If you compare the volume of the panflute against the vocals, you can hear the flute is much louder. Since the vocals are generally the most important part of the mix, you'll want to balance them appropriately.
I'm looking forward to another mix of the song!

Working on it bro ! Will upload a version with dry voice tonight.. Thank's a lot for all nice advice.... U rocks guys ! and bump the levels a bit. once I determined I couldn't hear the vox I stopped paying attention to them but did notice they were buried in the mix in several places. If you are listening to a true Dive sing.... I can guarantee you can hear her voice clearly.

Yes, agree! Here we go; https://soundcloud.com/trygve-larsen/the-five-language-of-love-clearer-voiceAnd the lyric goes like this; Love, has language too. You can find what it is for each one of your pals. This is my attempt to help you understand this little secret. Love is not really so very mysterious, can be explained to everyone. One is physical, you love to hug and touch and feel good when do it. This, is why you love to sit on someones lap a lot of the time. Love is not really so very mysterious, can be explained to everyone. Two, is helping hand. You love when someone kind will help you with you're task. This makes lot of sense to have in mind when have a pal, with this need. Love is not really so very mysterious. Can be explained to everyone. Three, is spending time, a lot of time, not too much with others friends too. You feel so lonely without your longing for your love, day and night. Love is not really so very mysterious, can be explained to everyone. Four, is getting gifts, a lot of gifts means a world to you, feeling loved. Gifts feels like be loved, it's a dream and fantasy deep in your life. Love is not really so very mysterious. Can be explained to everyone. Fifth, is words of praise, and words of appreciation, from you're pals. You just feel so good, when someone express how good you really are. Love is not really so very mysterious can be explained to everyone. So, now when you know, how it works, what it is for each one of your pals, Go out and attempt to help you fellow pals to practice this love. Love is not really so very mysterious, can be explained to everyone.

Leo,
Wow. That is a "night and day" difference.
Really nice work with the Vocaloid. Very Impressive.
You need to edit your original post and put the new link there as well so people don't miss it...
(for those who may not see it... it is in the post above this...)

There is a very sweet, meditative quality to this song!! Although I'm not really a fan of the vocaloid, I think it works quite well here. I absolutely love the musical progression. If the vocal were replaced with something like a clarinet, this could be wonderful movie score music. Very nice stuff!! Take care. Greg
BTW, I read the book-very interesting concepts. I found it valuable. I decided my son speaks all 5 love languages!

Much better. The chorus works, but the melody sounds like it was pre-composed, and then the lyrics added afterwards - they're pleasant, but don't really flow. But 7:29... That's gotta be some sort of awesome song for me to make something of that length. By the way, have you considered trying some harmonies with Vocaloid? I'm usually too lazy, because I've only got the free version of the editor that only supports a single voice. I haven't heard it used too much, but it might be cool to try. Hrm... seems like I made it through the whole song after all.
