As a bit of an engineering nerd myself, I appreciate the math references. You did a great job with the vocals. I did like the Vocaloid version also. Well crafted and produced.

You've treated you vocals quite well.
I like the ideas in your lyric.


Thanks Ray for your positive feedback smile I don't quite get what you mean with your first sentence…

Quoting Noel above because it is so well stated and we agree with it!
Janice pointed out she's hearing a bit of a Steely Dan vibe.
A "B7susb5b9/A" chord? That is so far over our heads that it's somewhere in outer space smile
We like this a lot...the cool lyric, laid back vocal and the BiaB parts.
Most enjoyable.
J&B


Thanks Janice and Bud for your kind words, I'm glad you liked it a lot, although my chords are, as usual, from another world smile Extra thanks for mentioning Steely Dan blush

Hi Janne,

this is a very good song! Love the lyrics and the vocals (esp. those BGV parts) are simply excellent . I love the changes of tone of your voice. The solo is perfect chosen.
Very fine harmonic progressions, a great arrangement and a good general flow.
A very enjoyable listen !

Take care,

Stefan

Thanks for sharing smile

Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Misha for your kind words smile To me, finding strange chords that still work well is one of the most enjoyable things in songwriting, so I'm glad to hear that it sometimes pays off laugh

Thanks Mark, glad you were not put off by the math wink You have done good work with the vocaloids, so I appreciate your nice feedback concerning that version too. I like Ruby most from the Vocaloids, it is the clearest Vocaloid to me, although her voice is bit thin and child like.

Thanks Stefan for your positive words smile I'm glad you managed to find so many things to love in my little song, especially my voice. This may have been first time I sang one backing vocal part an octave higher than the rest - I thought it sounded bit awkward, but good that you liked it.

I agree, that soloist is great. In the previous version, I used two different soloist at the same time, they were both good but here I chose something more AOR. BIAB has great selection of super soloist.

Janne,

Excellent Chord Progression!
A very beautiful melody is on a somewhat complicated chord progression.
Exactly Janne Sound.
This tune is one of my favorite in your works.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Excellent! You have a great voice. The instrumentation is super as was the mix. What took it over the top for me were the lyrics. I liked the way you inserted math references into this song. I liked the Pi reference because my password is the last 5 digits of Pi!

This is and excellent song.

Thanks Mario for your very positive words smile Yep, last 5 digits of Pi are very useful in many ways, too bad nobody seems to know what they are wink
