However, there are two pronunciation problems in Tears of a leprechaun

These should be t ih r z and l eh p r ih k ao n

I'd trust Google before SynthV. Click the link, and then the speaker icon in the left side to hear it pronounced. At least, the way I pronounce it, so it must be right! wink

https://translate.google.com/?sl=en&tl=ja&text=tears%20of%20a%20leprechaun&op=translate

Interestingly, Google doesn't pronounce bodhran the Irish way.

Anyway, very poetic!


Thanks David for your kind and valuable feedback smile Glad you liked the alliteration and find the lyrics poetic smile

Sorry that I was so careless with my lyrics, I saw that this Microsoft browser complained about "reindeers", I should have found out why... but on the other it complained also about "bodhran" so I thought that it just didn't know those words. I should cross-check all my different sources, including also dcuny laugh I have changed the reindeer and "tears", but I didn't change leprechaun, because I didn't find another source that used ih, sorry to disappoint you wink

Stellar work with the lyrics and the rhythm of the melody, which is extremely appealing. Bagpipes or not, I like the instrumentation and can't imagine the song any other way. Great song!

Thanks Marty for your positive feedback smile Glad you love the song and the melody, I'm surprised that people seem to like it that much.

Hadn't heard Pentangle before, but I did now and sounds like a very nice orchestra, kind of acoustic Celtic rock, I really like the sound of that female vocalist. Thanks for pointing out them.

All my best,

Thanks Deej for your kind words smile Well, I forced myself to write the lyrics for that melody and the band, it was basically just hard work and not much inspiration, but glad to hear everything is impressive smile

Hi Janne,

I am very glad you brushed up this dust gathering song. Man, what a wonderful song it is!
Very nice, say magical lyrics sung by the most wonderful performance of an AI-Lady.
I had a smile on my face during the song. I enjoyed it very much.
Absolutely top notch.

But to get that lady sings the way you wanted her to, must have been a lot of work!

Thanks Ray for your nice comment smile I have somehow missed Steeleye Span, sounds very interesting folk rock, I'm listening to them right now, thanks for mentioning them.

Magical and creative!

Your lyric reminded Janice of some of the best fairy tales she read as a young girl, both the write and the colorful images in the books.

The singers shine (excellent work) and that’s a great band you assembled.

Love the bodrans ... and the entire mix.

Enjoyed it!

Janne,

There's a lot going on in this, but it all sits in its right place and sounds good to me! It's a wonderful sounding tune with a super good melody!

Thanks, T

That's good!
I think I read somewhere that their original purpose was to strike fear into the enemy ... that's what they're good at grin


Thanks BD for your positive approval smile Well, you don't have to fear at least this year, because on the day PGMusic introduces bagpipe RTs, I will fill my new songs with them wink

Love the track, great intro and choice of instruments. And your vocalists are doing a fine job for you also!

Good one, enjoyed.

Hi, Janne & Co !


This is absolutely a most magic tune
with mysterious sounds that evoke
the hauling of wolves around me
in the deep of the night out there
in the snowy and ghostly moonlighted
forest !

It is one of your absolute best
and a masterpiece !

Cheers
Dani
