Hans,
I must be in an 80’s mood today, because this is the second song I’ve heard tonight that totally brings me back . . . this one a tad less so, but that bass vibe with that vocal—yeah, I’m there! Here, too, I wish I understood Dutch enough to appreciate this song in its natural language—but the translation works well. Nice production work, too—everything works great to my ear.
Hope all is well with you,
Deej Hi Deej, It was you bringing me back to the 80's! I hadn't thought of it like that. What I knew was I wanted to make some kind of Blues and singing that in Dutch. I didn't realise travelling back in time not only on the poem but on the song too! ;-) The Band was 'peanuts'. No thats not true, the violins costed me a lot of effort as well. But thanks very much for your nice words. And it would have been nice if you could understand Dutch. You could have helped me with the translation... Great arrangement, I enjoy especially the baritone guitar and those mysterious strings which reflect nicely the melancholy in the lyrics. I think the most famous use of strings in a blues song is The Thrill Is Gone by B.B. King. The loop is not to my taste here, maybe it is just mixed too front, but it is just very minor thing. Great vocals, all the dynamics and nuances come naturally in your native language.
Janne Hi Janne, thanks for what you wrote. Very kind words! And I hesitated some time about that loop. In my first version of the song I needed it, because the song sounded somewhat 'empty'. Later on I put in the violins and the other 'mysterious' sounds (as you call them). I must admit I forgot the loop then. Probably I will remove it one of these days. For now I'm working on another project. Very cool track Hans. Very cool groove to the song. Super vocal. I agree with the Robert on the lyrics very cool phrasing.. Hello Scott, you must be very busy listening to all those songs! But a lot of quality, don't you agree? Thanks for your compliments. I enjoyed your words. Hans
Enjoyed the song - a strong vocal and a very effective backing, that all sounds good to me.
Well done.
Peter Hi peter, thanks for listening and your judgement. I'm very pleased with it! I even think I will do some more Dutch songs, now that you all brushed up my self esteem on that issue! A good friend of mine is an amazing violinist. Strings in blues is certainly allowed. hehe This is a very interesting song, Hans, and a very unique and enjoyable production. I love hearing the Dutch language. It reminds me of being there. Thanks Marty for your words of kindness and also what you said about the violins / Blues. In my first two versions I left the out, but I thouht something was missing in the exitement in the song. What I meant is at first I wasn't convinced of having violins in blues. On the other hand; this song isn't a real Bluessong too. So thank you all for your replies and stay safe Hans

Thanks Furry! Hans,
I love that swampy guitar and vibe. It took a minute to hit me but once it did, man I was in the groove. And then that guitar solo in the middle - superb. All those instruments and sounds just came together brilliantly in your masterful hands. The sound of the Dutch lyrics really adds an extra "magic" to it also.
Great track! Hi Ed, Why did it take a whole minute? Thanks for your kind words. I showed your reply to my son, especially the 'masterful hands. He wasn't convinced of that till now! Wow. Strings, pads, voices...everything worked under that bluesy guitar with those little hits peeking out between the muted licks, and bassline. As I read here recently. It's music. Of course it works. Everything is beautifully subtle and intimate when it should be reading along in my broken English. This sets such a great mood. I love to hear you sing, and I love your signature vocal "sound".
I really enjoyed this thoroughly. Hello Tangmo, It's me saying 'Wow' now because of what you wrote. Thanks very much! This is a huge compliment, only now it will be a challenge to create something that beats this one. But you made my day, serious! I like your Dutch vocals, they grabbed my attention and really the strings played second fiddle if you'll forgive the pun. Thanks for supplying the English translation, that was helpful. Nice work, I enjoyed listening. If you sang in Dutch all the time, that would be fine with me. Hi Tunemonger, you and Tangmo wrote so nice compliments, I nearly decided to sing in Dutch permanently. But because you suggested it yourself, I will come with an English song first ;-) My translations had some shortcomings. I corrected them a bit, but sometimes you realise how difficult translating can be! You've become much more confident and solid in the vocal department.
You sound great - there're a few spots where hard sounds seem to distort a little bit but you're doing a fabulous job now.
The arrangement is cool - solid bass, drums and guitar with those little things going on to add lace to the sleeves. Hey Ray, I am dumbstrucked by your wonderful compliments. But I'm super proud as well. Thanks! Thanks everyone, for listening and commenting. Stay safe, Hans
