Super groove

Super vocal - I didn't understand a word but that didn't diminish the fact that I really like this rocker

Excellent band and mix

Two thumbs up

Very good song.
Great music and very good vocals.
Is the song about a land that exists in games or movies playing in the future?
We also often sing in our own language.
But we've noticed you always get more replies if you sing in English smile

Go on in the language you prefer.

Thank you all for your compliments.

I guess what I am trying to say in this song is that the land, the nature, and you have everything you need. You must behave as you feel and find your roots. Don't pretend, just to please something you think you should. Deep inside we all know the difference of right and wrong, but we tend to accept everything as long as it does not affect ourselves. Your land of wishes is waiting, and ready to wake up, but it all depends on you. Be brave, honest and speak out.

Howdy Ari....

I agree with all previous comments.
Well produced, good vocals, well performed and fine mix.
I'll have to brush up on my Icelandic. smile

Maybe I'm the only one but I hear a latent Stones vibe on this one.

I like it....have a good one.

Cool country rocker Ari. Excellent vocal and backtrack. I also use Studio One to mix and master. Great tool for finishing off the productions. Well done.

A very catchy song, Ari. Well sung, and the band is just perfect. The background vocals shine nicely in support of the lead. That solo soars. I like the idea behind the words. The way is should be.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Mario

Me listening..... Thinking this is what I'm hearing......

Everything I said she craves, and no one ever called
I turn them over
( huh????? WTF????? ) at this point I realize...this is not The Kings English but sure had me going there for a few bars


This is a great rocker and well done. I liked it even though as Mario said.... I didn't understand the words.

Hi Ari,

Enjoyed grooving along to your Rock N Roll R&B type song.

Good work all round with the mix and performances.
