Hans
A really nice well written (loud) rocker. Very strong vocal, and some great dynamics.
Excellent work.

Hans, Definitely one of top 10 from you. Dynamically delicious. I spot Ska-Blues-Rock fusion. Nice write lyrically and musically! Catchy chorus. Strong arrangement. Vocals...better, still high  Drop the HQ, see what happens., I believe your vocals are strong enough to retain clarity and cut through the mix, without upping high end. Thank you for sharing! Misha. Hi Misha, I was a little late in replying the posts on this song. There were reasons, but still; Sorry! You gave a very nice reply on the song. thanks for that. But it are these EQ-s that bother me most. I turned everything down. included D-es plugins. I think I just have sharp vocals... Maybe you should help me on that one day? A strong calypso feel in the verses.
You're approaching ice pick frequqncies on some of the vocals.
The 1st chorus, actually all of the choruses, bvox could be a little tighter.
Well done.
I'm not sure if you had this really loud or the ice pick did appear...my brain hurts.
Hi Ray, look what I wrote Misha (above). Same counts for you, despite one thing. I know you can really exaggerate. To me it seems impossible to hurt your brain. It can only tickle a bit... But thanks a lot for all your comments!  That is a fine rocker and a good way to present the message of some hope. Janice says she hears Bowie and Jagger in the vocals...they are cool. Rock on Hans! J&B Hi Janice and Bud, I am so fond of what you wrote And that picture! Look what I had to write to Misha and Ray. Can you understand why they always complain to me about hurted brains and EQ-issues? I doubt if they read what Janice sais about my voice. And of course she is right about that, because she sings all stars from heaven (a Dutch proverb). I pasted her text on my wall! Thanks for your words! That there is a great groove. There are some unexpected chord changes in there that really perked my ears. You sang this very well. I do agree that you could warm up the vocal a bit. It is such a great rocking feel that the eq can certainly be overlooked. I really liked it a lot. Tom Hi Tom, now you start mentioning that eq too! No, I am in a mellow mood now, I think. I am really fond of what you wrote and the EQ is a nasty issue for me. My tinitus has the same frequency so it's a bit difficult to hear this right. I am trying to and please continue telling me if I did something wrong or whatever. I learn from this. Maybe slowly, but steady... So thanks a lot for your nice response! Thanks and stay safe overthere, Hans

Actually, the vocals came off a bit more Talking Heads than Rolling Stones to my uneducated ears. And that's not a bad thing at all. Nice rocking song, great groove, loved the vocal, guitar solo was excellent. Unrelated to anything, the expression is "needless to say". My favorite malapropism of that phase is "needles to hay". I think David's comments about the song itself reflect almost exactly what I was going to say. I got more of the Talking heads vibe. As David said, that's not a bad thing. Your strong, powerful vocal delivers the message and mood perfectly. Really cool tune! Liked it a lot. Best to you. Be safe ... Alan Hi Alan, I prefer Janices' observation on the vocals, although I can live with the comparison with the Talking Heads too! Beside that, thanks for your words. And I am so glad you didn't mention the EQ... And about the needles, has that something to do with my song? I examined the lyrics and couldn't find any of them. Hans,
Love that opening. A really great groove.
Mixed sounds good. You've gotten some good advice about the vocals.
A good write. Really rocking Chorus!
Cool solos.
I like it!!!!

Hi Floyd, Gee, thanks for this nice post! It hangs on my wall near to that sentence from Janice! But you mentioned the EQ too... Look what I wrote to Misha (my post before this one). It almost let me make an appointment with my shrink. But trust me, I'm working hard on it, but I can't promise miracles ;-) Wowser. Boy that's turning it up a notice. Very very cool backtrack and boy did you nail the vocal. That one had me tappin my toes. Well done Hans. The guitar kicked in while I was typing. Very cool as well. Please put a label on this song " Please play this loud !!! " Hi Scott, this is a wonderful reply. Thanks! You didn't even mention that EQ thing. But are you ironicall about that label? Others say I have a very loud voice (while I am always a 'soft' speaking man). But thanks for your reply. Really nice groove on this one, Hans. Enjoyed it. Keep on rocking!
Regards,
Leon Hello Leon, thanks a lot for your comment. And I will continue rocking, although I am now working on some more serious stuff too. Have a nice day everyone, Hans

Peter Hello Peter, thanks very much for your kind words. But when I see the word 'loud' between braces I'm getting a bit 'suspicious'... Was it too loud, you think? Nice day, Hans

Good imagery, yes, corona time seems to give inspiration for many songs, so it is not a bad thing after all Sometimes it feels being in a jail or nightmare, but on the other hand, so does whole life once in a while  Very nice jumpy breaks in the rhythm, giving the song claustrophobic feel - just like being stuck. I like this type of songs where the chords are mainly major in the verses and then some minor chords in the chorus, maybe the melancholy talks to me. The chorus is very good and catchy. Good rocking band and the fiddle fits nicely to the rhythm. Very good confident singing, you are getting better all the time. Janne

I love the band you made. The opening bars really hooked me.
I particularly like this line: "Can I wake-up or pay me a bail?" Good!

Janne Hi Janne, thanks so much for your kind words, although... claustrophobic... I think stuck is good enough. No I'm kidding a bit. It was my plan to make a song abouth a dream I coudln't get out. A kind of nightmare you are aware of, but still cannot wake. But I got some problems on the lyrics with that and the made the connection with that virus and how we are forced to live now. And your last sentence is making me feeling very proud. Thanks for that, Hans I love the band you made. The opening bars really hooked me.
I particularly like this line: "Can I wake-up or pay me a bail?" Good! Hi Ezekiel, nice way of telling me you liked the song! And it's funny you quoted that line. The moment it came in my head, while writing the lyrics I liked it too. And when singing it even more. I could almost see me bargaining about it. So thanks a lot, Hans
