PG Music Home Forums General Discussion User Showcase Lost, a rocksong in perspective

Hello Hans,

well, that's something. A cool idea that works very well as a parabel even for non-religious folks, I think. Very powerfully sung, oh boy. And all thet wrapped in a good rocker brought to life by a very well-chosen band. Hans, hats off!

All the best,

Stefan

PS: Gonna write you an e-mail soon

Well, I loved the lyrics, addressing one of the big questions of existence. Musically, I loved the energy but felt the drums were too loud. Nobody else mentioned that, so it must be just me. Nice work, one of your best IMHO.

Sounds great Hans! You are a rocker man!

Hi Ezekiel, C. Aaron (HearTolearn), Marty, Derochette (JJF), J&B and Captain Moto,

Here you can read my gratitude and other kind of reactions to your so kind words and thoughts to all of you personally;



Hi Ezekiel, that are nice compliments from you. To tell you a story: I had the most difficulty in pronouncing the word 'misinterpreted', as in Dutch the accents in a word are often more at the beginning of words than at the end. After some 20 trials in my recordings I finally succeeded. That is when tone and music matched for me. I still have nightmares on that word...



Mr Aaron, thanks for your words. I had to read them twice, because of a connexion I made with the first and second line. I thought I hade done something wrong, but you were refering to my former versions and of course you hadn't heard them.



Hi Marty, it had come to my mind too what you refered to in your line about God's perspective. 'The world is better than before'. In a way that's true, but then his creation was worse from the start (after the apple). And to wait for more than 10.000 years to get a somewhat better place...? I was a policymaker (once). If I worked like that I think I had worse problems than I already had. And I didn't had that time! But I enjoyed your little discussion on this and your nice compliments!



Hi Derochette, thanks for your philospical contribution to the lyrics. Like that! But to me, hell was a creation of men, not of 'my god'. And thanks for the nice compliments on the song!



What a nice start for a post, Bud (and Janice)! Amen to you too!
And you are so right on that thought about the squashing. That is what we do with our bad songs.
But that is why we aren't 'gods', I think...

As I said some time ago about your 'famous' monitors; "I wished I could have seen that" and that still is the case!
Have you danced or sang along?
And a question that burns too; have you heard a trace of Lennon-vocals in it?
I'm joking of course. Thanks a lot for your nice comment and compliments.



In music one has to make bold statements once in a while, dont you agree Captain?
And yes, maybe in this one I started to high in the hierarchy, but all for the message!
I came to this subject, when I was thinking about the lyrics of course. And then I reminded a scetch from a Dutch comedian where he was a god on earth and was surprised by these huge buildings that barely had sunlight and where there were no children playing. These buildings were called churches. And so on... I liked that and so I builded my story.
I have one question; did you mean my vocals were too loud? Should I have sung more modestly? Tell me.
But thanks for yor comment on this song, Captain.

I wish you all a merry Christmas and may we have a fantastic new year,
Hans

Lord Hans...

I believe you are getting better climbing endless ladder of music tree.
One of your most unusual tunes for sure. Vocals A+. Mix is very good. Liked that flute.
You can make it into series - next tune is from perspective of mosquito... or similar. Could be fun Enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Interesting concept and a well constructed song to deliver the message, Hans. One of your best vocals, I think. Enjoyed my listen.
Regards,
Leon
