Thanks for your kind and positive feedback smile Nowadays I don't do much tweaking with effects, although in this one I used Neutron 3 for bass and drums to give them some spark.

Hi Janne,

A cool song! Nice bass in a funky song.
And you sang it with conviction! The lyrics give spirit to live your life how hard it can be.
It is always a pleasure hearing your songs. They have something familiair now, because of your way of singing, but still are also very creative when it comes to the angle you choose.

Nicely done Janne!

Super creative and catchy. Love the various textures and overall musicality.
One of your best vocals and I liked the backing synth vocalists.

Really nice in all aspects.

Starts off like a funky cover of Go Ask Alice but that changes when the vocals begin.
I reckon the vocaloid harmonies could be pulled down a little at the beginning so your main vocal holds court OR pull your main vocal from the choruses and let those treated vocaloids float... there are some very slight variations in pronunciation between you & them.
Lovely message.


Cheers

Thanks Ray, I appreciate your kind comment smile Pronunciation differences are inevitable when it comes to my mouth, but there can be also variation between vocaloids (Brit & american accent).

Love the funky opening. When the vocals started ("life wins") it wasn't what I expected, but it fit into your song quite well. Catchy pop, Mr. Popfinger.

Janne,

Nice groove to this . . . an ear worm feel to this. Very imaginative song and production that works its way in the more the song plays. Like the high harmony you have going on, really resonates. Is that high harmony a live singer or auto-generated? If the latter, it sounds like the former. If the former, nice job by your vocalist. Yeah, the more I listen to this the more I’m digging it. Great solo—perfect ending!

All my best,

Deej

Thanks Deej for your heart-warming words smile Glad you felt the ear worm, and that it is even growing on you smile Harmonies are computer generated singers, nice to hear that they are not distracting you.
