Life Wins This is yet another song that I got in my dream and definitely not the last one  The dream started as a musical, located in a trailer park and a man singing happily the "Life wins" chorus part. Then it turned into a synth pop song which I was playing with a band. Then for some reason, I was kicked out of the band. After that I hired Nile Rodgers to produce the song. So after I woke up, I decided to finish it, although it took me 16 months to get to this point. At that time I had watched Nile Rodgers documentary, from it I used the idea to start with the chorus. But I didn't ask him to produce my song, maybe I will if this turns out to be a hit  ... Unfortunately I didn't find any Nile Rodgers RTs, where are they? There should be some Well, I used Zane instead, that was the closest playing style I could find. It took me quite a long time to figure out what Life Wins could mean, and at some point I got a profound thought how real life is like the Game of Life computer game, continuously growing and eating space on its way, but on the other hand, a persistent fighter, surviving even in the most difficult conditions.

Life wins, life wins life wins over agony you will see eventually. when your boots of dreams are stuck in the mud when the path of fate is signed with your blood watch a flower breaching soil in a pit reaching out for the Sun with its grit. Life wins... when your skin of solace yearns for its fill when the hails of hurt seem destined to kill watch the penguins shaking through arctic chill their march of months to the sea for the krill. Life wins... Life is cruel we get tramped and eaten yet life's persistent it yields, gets up again always taking a chance finding cracks in a shatterproof substance. Life wins... ----------------- Janne

Janne,
A very singable funky chorus anchors your more complex images in the verses; I liked that chilly penguins picture!
The backing, including synth vocal harmonies ( better and poppier sounding than Helicon harmonies for this style), sounds good.
I enjoyed the idiosyncrasy matched to a very positive and catchy song.
Robert

Terrific, hummable song. Great intro. I love the support the harmonies lend your lead vocal. And who'd ever think krill would end up in a song? Guitar solo was the icing. Very fun tune that I enjoyed listening to several times.

Janne, super song. Love the groove! Your vocal was really good. The mix is excellent.
To nitpick I though the synthesized harmonies sounded just that, synthesized. If they were a little lower in volume and maybe a touch of reverb and/or delay it would help. BUT this is only my opinion and others may not agree.
Regardless this is an excellent song!
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Thanks Robert for your nice comment Those chilly penguins are really one of the best examples of animals surviving in the hardest conditions on Earth, so I'm glad you liked that picture. Also good to hear that you found the song very positive although there are so many unpleasant things in life. Janne

Very fun tune that I enjoyed listening to several times. Thanks TuneMonger for your kind words Hummable - hmmm maybe that's why it was easy to remember when I woke up in the morning Glad you liked the intro, I tried to create something catchy and easily recognizable leading shortly to the chorus.

Janne,
A good lively Pop sound. The opening grabs you right away. Had me dancing in my chair!
Very catchy - as a Pop song should be. The verses are quite catchy, too - nice!
A really nice production. And very well mixed. I like your vocals on this. Excellent drums. Nice ending guitar...
I enjoyed this. I wish I could dream music like that!

Janice said, a la Steve Martin, that your song gave her happy feet!
The vocaloid backing sounds good to us...that synthetic feel is what
we frequently hear in current pop music.
We also like the ever so slight hint of reggae in the song.
Good dream, good write and good vocals.
Nice mix also!
Enjoyed it...

Regardless this is an excellent song! Thanks Mario, I appreciate your positive feedback I'm glad you liked my vocal. You are right, I didn't work much on the harmonies, I could have added some vibrato, but that doesn't work very well when there are several voices singing together. I used Izotope's Vocal Doubler on that track, maybe that amplified the synthesized effect. But I'd rather use real singers to do the job, maybe Nile Rodgers brings his Chic girls  Janne

J&B Thanks Janice and Bud for your positive words Happy feet describes my dream very well, the dream started with a man dancing. I guess the reggae feeling came from the backbeat on the loop I used, interesting observation. Janne

Janne.
Funky tune! By definition a song of hope. Nice arrangement and vocals. I jumped right in listening and was surprised how well your electronic girls singed this with you after reading comments. Easy listener. I liked that solo too. Thank you for sharing and keep dreaming!

Interesting and creative.
All the RT's work well together and that mix is tight! It has that professional sheen or grit to it that is so appealing.
