Hello Ray, Scott, Ezekiel and Dave,

Thanks for your kind comments on the song and a very nice 2022!
I saw you added your contributes for this New Year on the forum.
I want to listen to them all, but give me some time... It's busy overhere.

HANDS DOWN one of your best vocal performances Hans.
I di think the lead guitar at the beginning was a little brittle/crisp but it was gone soon enough.
The slightly off centre lead solo was better though oddly off the middle but, again, it came and went so no biggie.


Wow, Ray, this is a huge compliment from you. I think I never received one of these ever before from you!
On the other hand, it hurts me a little you called it on of my best performances. I loved some of my earlier songs a bit more.
But I also saw it as a compliment on my mixing and mastering. That has improved I think. Don't know if it stays that way...

Scott, that little break... A lot of you mentioned it. And as I wrote to some, I liked how it worked out at last. In the beginning i had some issues with it's sound. But thanks a lot!

I particularly like the piano track you used.


Ezekiel, very nice of you to say. And that piano track was indeed a very nice one here.

Seriously though, a very good song! I really like the concept of growing and learning along the way.
Love the change at 2:20, also the way you ended the song, nicely done.
Excellent vocal, lots of passion.
Good song to end off the year I think.


Dave, I think you are right. I have a great memory. I know my first word as well (I think I was twelve).
Nice you liked the song and the little bridge. But keep in mind the song finally deals with forgetting. Now I only remember yesterday. Oh! And today when listening to your beautiful Wheels of Fortune. You have a very good voice!

Have a nice day everyone,
Hans
