Christian, Ray, Jun,
excellent collaboration! Nicely arranged. Ray's lyrics worked very well! Vocals are fantastic! I wish they would be more upfront, but just an opinion.

Thank you for sharing!

Misha!

That was fascinating and cinematic. It would be a fine composition for the right movie.

Everybody did a great job on their part. And we enjoyed the results!

Thanks, Christian, for allowing me to restore some of the the timing of the original melody to the song.
Your piano melody was so ingrained in my head I couldn't let it go.
fabulous arrangement, writing and mixing by you and what a great voice Jun has.
This slight reworking is more as I had imagined it would be.

Hi Christian and Ray,

When listening to the song I didn't noticed it was from 2019.
When scrolling through the posts I saw it was. Till the last two posts. So now I'm listening to the remixed version!
It is certainly brighter than the first one. Only in the beginning I think a bit too much reverb was used. But whatever, it's a very nice but also peculiar song. But all in a very nice way.

The lyrics in the first place. Like them. All verses are the same but the interval differs; daily, weekly, mothly. Very nice.
The way this song was sang secondly. Strange but very fascinating.
And thirdly the band, or other instruments. Very slow and in a sense 'announcing' a threatening situation.

By the way: I didn't know that 'angst' was an English word. It's also used in Dutch and means the same.

I enjoyed listening,
Hans

The word has only been considered "English" since the 1940s. It was borrowed from German via Freud usually but eventually adopted.
Thanks for your kind words. I reverb was baked onto the original vocal, by the singer I think.
