Absolutely fantastic song! Such somber majesty in the music. A new favorite.
The synth vocal is phenomenal. Thanks Mr. Storm for such a great feedback  I think I have never heard before the word 'majesty' used when talking about my song Janne

Hi Janne,
Amazing song, amazing AI vocals! Beautiful lyrics too! I'm impressed!
David C gave me the link to these AI vocals and I was thinking about how to use them and then I heard your song.
As Misha wrote, you are a fast learner and David has a competitor. I can only agree on that, however, a competitor? I can imagine you together make one great AI opera one day.
Hans
Thanks Hans for your kind words I'm glad that you are impressed  Well I'm just a beginner with this program/vocals, but I hope to learn some tricks to make the vocals sound even more natural. Janne

Double Wow!!
The lyric is strong, the band and arrangement are excellent and that Solaria is stunning! She truly would have fooled both of us.
It’s sad to have the current situation fit a reworking of this fine lyric but you have produced a beautiful song, Janne.
Excellent,
J&B
Thanks Janice and Bud for your kind comment and the Double Wow Glad to hear you liked the lyrics. Janne

Janne,
Excellent. A good write. A very well done production.
The vocals are nothing short of AMAZING! Some of the best synth vocals I've heard...
Excellent mix.
A beautiful, haunting song. Very well done.

Bright and Breezy style/ type song , uplifting and inspiring .
The sort of tune/song that has an inspiring feel to it !!.
Nice one !!.
Thanks beatmaster for your kind words I wouldn't call it uplifting when the story is so dark, though it is about lifting up a nation. Janne

That is absolutely fantastic!
I really like the way that rhythmically, the vocal Melody cuts across the rest of the track. And there's some unexpected turns of Melody they are quite arresting.
I also really like the way it builds when the drums come in. Mix-wise, I think they're a little loud. But otherwise a perfect compliment. Thanks Byron for your heartwarming comment I'm really glad you liked the melody and its turns. You are right about the drums, it is deliberate decision to have them quite loud. Janne

Wow, Janne this is truly excellent and definitely the best I've heard from you so far.
The song is highly melodic and the programming of the voices is done so well.
I was particularly struck by the high-pitched sound (with emotion!) of V Solaria. Man, do these synthetic voices get better all the time!
Rob Thanks Rob, I really appreciate your very positive feedback The song is bit different than most of my songs, but glad to hear you think it is the best. Solaria is definitely the best synthetic voice at the moment, I hope to use her more at least in backing vocals. Janne

Janne,
Excellent!
I think it is a very good work that overlaps with the current world situation.
The vocals of Synthesizer V Solaria are very natural and smooth.
I read the history of Finland again.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Janne,
I agree with all the positive comments on your writing and production here- I somehow found the melody quite distinctively Janne - and its rare to hear a synth vocal that sounds so human and warm.
Very well done!
Robert

A really meaningful song, where the lyrics work wonderfully with the melody.
Melodically, this is really excellent, and your vocals have done absolute justice to your delivery.
Very nice.
Thanks AudioTrack for your kind comment I'm glad you think that lyrics work with the melody, I was bit worried about that the prosody is not good enough. Janne

The story IS gloomy, Janne, and impossible to speak of it otherwise. Your song, however, includes a measure of hope. It can even be described as beautiful. Man, those synth vocals are really quite amazing, and you work them like you invented them. Great band. Those guitars play off each other perfectly, and lay down the perfect bed for the vocals. There's a dirge-like feeling that is so appropriate; it brings in despair and hope simultaneously. Thanks Marty for your kind and insightful feedback I'm glad you found the hope among the despair in the lyrics, we shouldn't give up hope even when times are hard. Janne
