Hi, Deryk !:))
I feel most humbled by your more than kind words regarding this tune written back in 1992 ! I want to thank you so much for them they really warmed my heart !
This tune was one of the tunes I wrote when I started write around 1990 !
Cheers Dani

Dani, This is beautiful. The lyrics are such that I can almost see the seascape before you. Very poignant. Well done!

Dani, this is really very nice! I really enjoyed the Swedish version. Loved the arrangement of it. But both are very good, and it was nice to get the English translation.
Beautiful song, well done!

Dani, What a wonderful, relaxed journey you've just taken me on. I really enjoyed it. Thank you. You carried me along on a stream of easy-listening that has started my day with a huge smile (it's 5:36 am here in Melbourne right now). I cannot think of a better way to say hello to morning!  This style of song is definitely one that brings out the best in you. All the best, Noel

Beautiful song Dani!! One of my favorite of so many beautiful melodies you've written. I like both versions. Was your record released years ago? The quality sounds excellent. Very, very much enjoyed this!! Take care. Greg

Hi Dani,
Both excellent!
I couldn't really say which I preferred, even after listening to them twice.
It's surprising just how different they are, but they're both excellent in their own way.
I'm so impressed by the way you can get the lyrics to work so well after the translation.
Your wonderful signature vocal shines through on both!
Cheers, ROG. We downloaded both versions so we could listen on different sound systems. And our conclusion is the same as ROG's. It's one thing to be multi-lingual but another to be able to a make lyric to in both languages. The orchestra in the Swedish version is wonderful! J&B

Hi, Robert !:))
Thank you so very much for your most kind words ! You suggested some vocalists of quality and I hope you won´t be disappointed if I say that the vocalists were me on lead and tenor and Patrick on bass !
Cheers Dani

Hi, Shigeki !:))
Thank you so much for your most kind comments ! The orchestration on the record (the Swedish version) is one violin, me and my guitar, some fluteplaying by my producer and some tingels (I don´t really know the name of that instrument that sounds like a wind chime )? and naturally drums and el bass ! I am so glad that you liked the tune !
Cheers Dani

Hi, Rob & Anne-Marie !
I am so glad that you have problems choosing a favourite of the two versions ! I take it that it means that both versions have their stronger and weaker sides and it may be hard to choose !
I want to thank you for your most kind words !
Cheers Dani
