Janne,
Your analogy was clear to me... but then I`m a career gardener ( Thuja is pronounced ThuYa btw) and have played around with writing a song about plants.
I agree with Tano, you are a creative song writer and I always find something surprising and new in your music.
I don`t find the vocal harsh - will have a listen to your Finnish version to compare.
Robert Thanks Robert for your uplifting comment  I feel honored to be called a creative song writer  About the pronunciation, I trusted google translator and wikipedia, well I think there is also thuya, but I don't how it differs from thuja... Janne

I couldn't make out the lyrics in some parts, but I think that it is a really pretty song and that the vocal style does suit the song. Great job so far. Thanks Ember for liking and nice comment despite the difficult lyrics Janne

Wow - this was incredible Some very fascinating lyrics on this, and I love the subtly catchy chorus here. I'm getting a 70's rock sort of vibe with this one. Really well done - thanks for sharing! Thanks Deryk for your very kind words 70's rock, very interesting - I don't listen to it much. Janne

Very nice pop-rock tune!
The melody and the chord progression are excellent as usual.
I prefer Finnish version.
Finnish fits this melody really well.
English is easier to convey the meaning of lyrics to everyone, but I think that mother tongue is also wonderful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thank you Shigeki Adachi for your positive words I'm glad you find the Finnish version better, it is more natural to sing it, when singing in English I have to concentrate on technical issues and that fact is easy to notice. Janne

Janne, I wasn't able to quite pick up on some of the underlying meaning of the lyrics but I love the melody and chord structure in this! You always have neat little twists and turns in the structure of your songs! I really like what you did with the chorus in this! Great production and mix! Thanks, Torrey Thanks Torrey for your kind words Interesting that you find twists also in this one, because I think this is one of the more straightforward songs I have made...Glad to hear you noticed the chorus Janne

Nice inventive tune - clever songwriting - listened to the Finnish version as well which as I think you mention elsewhere flows a bit more.
Nicely done.

That was interesting and enjoyable. Invasive (alien) plant species practically surround us in our part of the country so I had no problem with the analogy.
Good job on putting together something different for us!

Great job on the arrangement and nice production. I got your metaphor but I'm not sure I would have if I'd just listened without reading what the song was about first. Like Ember, I had some trouble hearing all the lyrics. Really nice melody. A lot of folks can't do this well in their native language much less translating it into English.
You are quite talented. Bottom line, I enjoyed it very much.
