Oh, yes, totally agree with you on that songwriter guitar, Janne. This song, too, is very inspirational. A great Christmas idea --and posted on National Bird Day in US. Man, that synth voice comes in nicely as the Theremin on the Star Trek Theme. Yes, a beautiful song indeed. Thanks Marty for your kind feedback  I hadn't used that Voices of Gaia VST before, but here its expressiveness fit very well. Janne

Janne,
Interesting tune and theme. Neat instrumental bed, slightly unusual, but works well. Good lyrics and of course signature phrasing. Cool female vocal parts. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
P.S. when I was in school, it was a graded requirement, to build bird houses. First grades made them out of milk cartons, higher grades out of wood. Where I live now, you can't put one up in summer, because mr.bear will come, but my wife usually buys a bag of seeds for the winter. Thanks Misha for your kind comment I'm glad you liked the lyrics. And thanks for the story, nice to hear about the bag of seeds, I hope it is a really big bag Janne

Jan, that sounds like a tough challenge and I thought your song was great!
There's nothing wrong with using the word "gracious" to describe your gift to the bird. If YOU weren't happy with it, here's a couple of easy ways to handle times like that in the future. You could just hold the word "gift" or repeat "your gift" instead of "gracious gift". Either would work and give you a little change up with no or little change to your melody. You're a good songwriter and you have a nice voice Jan.

Lovely song & production... I'd bump up the Bass track a bit.

Yes you are a good songwriter and an excellent vocalist.
A great song about our feathered friends.
When it gets cold here and the snow covers the ground we feed the birds.
I don't think this is a Christmas only song, I think it can be and should be played year around.
Excellent song!
I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon!

This is a really nice touching song about that bird.
Very nice nylon guitar(s) during the song, but especially in the intro.
The high voice did very well in it, although a bit unexpected. The rustling of the birds feathers was cool and (a bit) expected.
I read Misha's post on the birdhouses and mr. Bear. Here I have 3 birdhouses, but also 3 cats. Maybe more dangerous than a bear?
But back to the song: as I said Touching!
Hans Thanks Hans for liking and commenting my song Nice to hear it touched you, it is sad to watch usually migrating birds struggling in the cold, they are opportunists hoping to gain advantage by staying - they may be lucky if winter is mild, they can start breeding earlier. Cats are certainly bigger danger to birds than bears, I hope you keep them away from birds Janne

What a lovely, laid back song and very nice melody and like you, we really like those guitars. I (Janice) was watching some chickadees and nuthatches at our birdfeeder the first time I listened to this. Congratulations on the "best of" votes. As fellow bird lovers we appreciate the sentiment in the lyric. The mix sounds great on our KRK monitors. Again, we both enjoyed this! J&B Thanks Janice and Bud for your kind and positive comment We have chickadee relatives here as most regular visitors at bird feeding places, but nuthatches are unfortunately very rare here, I have to take a quite a long walk to have a chance to see one, but it is really worth it, such a nice species. Janne

Nice melody too.

This is just wonderful, sure
one of your absolute best !!
It is so Janne it just can be,
which to me is often mystic
and original chord progressions
that lead one into unexpected
places - I like that, Janne !
Hyvää Uutta Vuotta myös minulta !
Cheers
Dani Thanks Dani, I really appreciate your very heartwarming words Glad to hear you find and like mystic in my progressions. Gott nytt år! Janne

Josie Thanks Josie for your kind feedback nice to hear you think "gracious" fits, as a non-native English speaker it's quite difficult to find the most suitable word. But thanks for the advice. Janne

The music exudes a sense of contentment. The guitar is quite nice. Love the birds. I had to look up yellowhammer, which I see is native to Eurasia. Good song.

Excellent song! Thanks Mario for you too kind words Yes, I hope the song gets played the year around, there's always snow somewhere and birds too, at least penguins in Antarctica. All the best to you and birds there. Janne

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
