Wet SummerHere is my latest summer song, nothing serious, just some fun on the edge of ambiguity  I doubled my voice with Synthesizer V Kevin and I think it worked quite well. Also, Synthesizer V Solaria joins in in the chorus.

It's going to be summer summer summer very wet pouring down like bloody marys records will be broken like once in the Canaries. It's going to be summer summer summer very wet feel the joy of liquid downing records may be broken in the number of drownings. The weatherman has forecast no drynuary tale the hygrometer will be running out of scale the throat is no more dry, the lips are dripping wet before the holidays we have to start to bail. It's going to be summer... Lightning in my eyes and thunder in my head the host of our long wet summer lifts the spirits up Donnerwetter! Jägermeister! Praise his strongest shots we and meteorologists shall tilt the brimful cup. It's going to be summer... ------------------ Janne

Strong driving song. I love that "fun on the edge of ambiguity." Yes, the vocals really make it, Janne. Interesting and perfect choice of a mandolin for the solo. When I look at all the instruments in there, I could expect some clutter, but you did an amazing job of bringing everything in and out to make the song quite interesting. Also, wonderful use and timing on the sound effects. The melody for those cool lyrics is sometimes right with the strong 1-2 feel, then at other times it's so free. I like the steel drums at the end.

Hello Janne
this is a cool crazy song
The sound is bombastic
My whole living room was vibrating ;-)
So many great details you put in.
Of course I like the hard rock guitar solo best ;-))))
Great work
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

WOW who would have thunk it? Human and androids singing together!
The vocal effects are outstanding.... how did you think of that?
Great backing band - love those leads!
Outstanding mix and super ending!
Loved it
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Janne, That doubling of your voice works great. This fondly reminds us of Per Gessle's The Look. We think that's good Rob and Anne-Marie

I like it! It has somewhat of an 80's vibe to me, so I really like that.  Plus it's a fun summer song. Who can't like that?! The chord changes on the chorus are neat too.

Thanks Marty for your nice comment Maybe a fiddle could have been a better choice for the solo, but I'm glad you liked the mandolin. About the clutter, I think the mix is bit cluttered, because I didn't have time and patience to bring up the micro chord changes of the baritone guitar as clearly as I wanted, maybe I'll work on that issue later.

Great job with that vocal synth Janne! This is a powerful driving tune with a super mix! I think this is one of your best sounding track IMHO!
Love the melodic flow and the octave vocal work is effective! Sounds great! Thanks, Torrey

The backing is BIG and rockin'.
Not fussed on the squalling guitar part but it does suit the weather theme I suppose.
Cheers

We think that's good Rob and Anne-Marie Thanks Rob and Anne-Marie for your nice comment Per Gessle, thanks for reference, I have listened to Roxette and even his earlier band Gyllene Tider, maybe I've got influenced Janne

Janne,
Right out the gate, the percussion grabbed me—nice use of the RT Drums. Your lead vocals coupled with the vocaloid creates a really interesting sound that engages the ear more you listen. I’m wondering whether the vocals could sit back a bit more in the mix . . . but maybe not. A few folks have used the term “driving” to describe the tune . . . I agree . . . it really moves you forward. Like the abrupt end—fitting for the tune.
Good stuff!
All my best,
Deej

Thanks for your nice comment I'm a child of the 80's when it comes to music, so it doesn't surprise me that the song might sound like one from that era Glad you liked the chord changes, I used micro chords on the baritone guitar, a very nice feature to add something extra to certain instruments. Janne

Thanks Torrey for your rewarding feedback I'm really glad you liked the mix, difficult to get the balance right when there are many guitars playing. Janne

“Lightning in my eyes and thunder in my head”
The above is one of many lines that grabbed our attention, Janne.
You have a good thing going here with yours, Kevin’s and Solaria’s vocals. It sounds good!
The mandolin solo reminded us of the “pitter patter” sound of rain.
Well done!
J&B
PS. We are surrounded by thunderstorms as we listen to this and we are hoping for some much needed rain.

Cool stuff, Janne, the blend of your voice with the synth voice works really well I think.
Good song, enjoyed!
