OP jannesan Veteran Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 4,590 Finland	Lonely Days Of Destiny Style: _WAYSIDE Category: Country I had a dream in which I had written a song called Lonely Days Of Destiny. I heard couple of bars from this country song in the dream. The title sounded so good that I felt I had to make it for real, but otherwise I had free hands to do it. When the new Xtra styles were released, I watched the introduction video and immediately noticed that _WAYSIDE.STY was ideal for my song, so I had no other choice than to buy the styles . And here it is, reconstructed from this minimal input data. This song was definitely destined to take part in this great contest I hope my interpretation of a country song does not offend the purists I hired Johnny and June Rob and Anne-Marie to do the vocals and what a fantastic job they did once again!

Lonely days of destiny that could be the title of my song filled with thousand clichéd rhymes that have been used 5 million times no phrases strong, no leaps for the mankind just verses boring and long. They say the fortune is written in stardust you can read my life in the brown ink of rust these lonely days are unjust. Lonely days of destiny pointless days that no-one reads about grey has just one shade the future's not built and history's not made. Lonely days of destiny that could be the title of my book filled with thousand empty lines without the spark of Frankenstein a lifeless look of a frustrated reader a story, no catch, no hook. They say... When finding a friend is uncertain goldmining you can't share the cloud with a nice silver lining then pick up your pencil and earn from your misery moments in losers' days of destiny just like me. They say... these lonely days: rich and just. - Janne Hear My Music: Soundcloud YouTube

But I don't understand the part about Johnny. He shows up anytime I call him, and takes a little break from heaven. He does tell me that the country music up there is A LOT better than it is down here, though. Isn't that strange? Except for this song of course!!!

Now at first glance this song sounds relatively simple, but there's a catch, Janne's songs are never simple ;-) In the bridge there is a very tricky moment in the "moments in losers" part (a very nice dropping note). I remember one or two lines in the choruses I had trouble singing correctly. So we thought, let's just copy these lines to the final chorus (after the solo). No sir, it turned out to be modulated (we had no idea). Good work from our Finland songwriter.

Thanks David for your positive and funny comment Unfortunately, I don't remember what really happened in this dream. It could have happened that I visited heaven and Johnny played me his heavenly song there and now I have stolen it and I will be punished with eternal (ring of) fire Janne Hear My Music: Soundcloud YouTube
