Runrig , Big Country yea I'm in..
I enjoyed this.. the lyrics.. way out of my league the sound tracks fitted the song really well.
And your vocals suited the song, loved the bagpipes tho !!, all round a big and full sound on this.
Thanks beatmaster for your kind review  I hope there were bagpipe RealTracks and other traditional pipes as well to get more authentic Celtic sound. Janne

The sound of Healer of the Hills has a golden sheen, like an old, forgotten heirloom that's had all the tarnish and discoloration cleaned off it and now shines in the light like a sought-after relic of bygone days. The lyrics are vivid, colorful, as they illuminate a picturesque place in a timeless space, and they also speak of a spiritual way of being that seems to have deep ancestral roots.
The music is lively with an energetic rhythm that keeps the song interesting to listen to, thanks to the inspired selection of Real Tracks. The electric guitar solo is charged and has an ever-ascending feel that is exciting to hear.
Your vocal performance is simply charming! I don’t know if you were trying to do this, but your voice sounds like you were characterizing a person of elderly stature who could be a wandering sage, and possibly possessed of magical powers.
This is a unique song that is saturated with a sense of historical time viewed through a nostalgic lens. It was fun to listen to!
Sincerely,
- bluage -
Thanks bluage for your beautiful in-depth review of my little tune  It really cheered me up, and so many new words I had to use translator to understand all of them You are almost describing the feeling I had when I first heard that Searchlight album, touchingly timeless, spiritual and still somehow close to my soul from the ancient times. I wrote the lyrics first in 2013 and then revived some parts this year, the main theme was respect of nature, like ancient people had, and the role of a common man to carry the big responsibility (like in LOTR). Janne

Very cool.
The lyric would come close to working for referencing Native American culture.
The style mashup works well and is nicely supportive of the engaging melody.
And you toped it off with a very good mix.
Enjoyed it!
J&B
Thanks Janice and Bud, your kind words always mean much to me Nice that you mention Native American culture - they too had strong respect for nature. Janne

Fantastic lyric and chord progression. The little "jams" in the breaks were especially fun. This is one for your "keeper" folder for sure. Thanks Tangmo for your very positive comment Janne

I've never heard a song use the word "spoor" before! Like rayc, the "Oy" for "I" threw me a bit, but I figured it was you being "Oyrish" or something, right?  Fun listen! Definitely got the Big Country vibe. Thanks David for your nice words Strange that I don't hear "oy" in my pronunciation, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong... maybe I need a dialect coach or something like that Janne

Nicely done - really enjoyed the arrangement, and thought it flowed really well. As others mentioned, the lyrics on this really take it to the next level. Very vivid and it certainly sets a unique atmosphere.
Thanks for sharing! Thanks Deryk for your kind review I'm especially glad to read words like vivid and unique in the context of my lyrics Janne

Hi Janne,
I'm sitting here listening as I type. This is a great production and you've created a really, really fine arrangement. In addition, your vocals sound great -- confident and polished
floyd used the word 'playful' in his comments and I have to agree. There is an element of playfulness in this presentation. I think that that might be use to the Celtic influences that you've incorporated. You're a very creative musician!
I thoroughly enjoyed listening!

Hi Janne,
Wel, this song of yours is really nice! A lovely/funny performance and similar lrics
You must surely be a balladry Bard (though Google could't translate the word Balladry) the way you sing this song. it looks like you did that with a lot of pleasure and probably also with a pint of something. And your accent suits very very nice!
I almost could see you hopping down the hills in a jester suit...
The melody is a bit intriguing. It has a loud guitar and busy percussion, but still gives an easy feeling.
Especially that intermezzo after the chorus works out that way and reminded me of another song (forgot the name of course).
Have a nice day,
Hans

Janne,
Playful bounce to the song. I'm not sure if you ever tried, but I think your voice if driven hard and singing in the lower register would work well in a metal song such as by the group Rammstein. Enjoyed the listen.

Enjoyed the listen. Thanks Mark for your kind comment I have made a thrash metal song, but I couldn't sing it like it should be sung, my voice is definitely not strong enough for screaming or growling Janne

Janne,
Interesting crossover of styles, as rayc said.
I'm glad to listen to these songs from you.
Powerful and tight rhythm is wonderful.
Your challenge to various genres will also encourage me.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
