We felt like we almost saw that beautiful bird flying during the solo.

You surely did get Kevin to sing with a lot of emotion in this one. Very impressive!
Your sense of melody and phrasing is well captured by "him."

The build and the dynamics from Kevin and the band made us more and more optimistic that he would see the bird. smile
The arrangement is perfect for delivering the sentiment of the write.

A fine mix that open and airy setting up a great soundstage.
And that number of tracks is way above our mixing pay grade!

Enjoyed it!

You've really opened my eyes to the possibilities of Kevin! Thank you smile
Brilliant production.

I loved this journey.

Thanks Noel, I appreciate your kind and positive comment smile Yes, there are many possibilities for these AI singers, you just have to find their best capabilities, usually by lucky accidents or listening to songs made by others, glad to be of help.

Excellent job on this song.

Thanks Mario for your great feedback smile I'm especially glad that you found something you can relate to in my song, that's something I always like to hear.

Excellent work on the synths.

Thanks Ray, I appreciate your warm reception smile I do all the mixing on headphones but I have probably lost the "crisp" frequences in my ears...

Well done!

Thanks B.D. for your supportive comment smile Too bad that Kevin is currently the best all-around Synth V male voice, other voices have quite limited genre suitability, so I couldn't select any other for this song, but I feel I got the best out of Kevin in this song.

This has a big theatrical sound.

Good composition.

I'm impressed by your wonderful songwriting as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thanks Shigeki Adachi for your nice review, always pleasure to read them smile I don't know about Nordic melody either, I think it is quite contemporary one, but most likely there is some darker appearance of our polar nights.

Hey Janne,



I didn't actually think this song was gloomy at all, I thought it was a great piece of pop music.

Very emotional and the instrumentation kept it going, a nice driving sound.

I guess everyone’s going really crazy with these artificial vocals huh??

Thanks Janice and Bud for your heartwarming comment smile Glad to know you liked Kevin's emotion.

If I ever make a video for this, I'll make it more optimistic than the song so that he will see the bird (at least in a dream) laugh

Most of the guitar tracks are there just for doubling another similar one just to thicken the sound, so no special skills needed for mixing smile

Hi Janne,

I have read your humble introduction and heard the song.
I read the messages and saw that almost (...) everyone was lyrical.
And I want to join them!
A beautiful and intriguing song with a very good performance of Kevin the AI.
I really ;loved everything in it, and most I admire your composition and lyrics.
The way the chorus was sung was very good.
All in all a pleasure for ears, heart and mind,

Hans

Hi Janne,

So many dynamics that fit together so nicely. The AI vocal is excellent. The mix is outstanding - especially considering how much is going on. Everything finds its own space without stepping on anything else.

lLve the chorus - strong and powerful. Your creativity really shines on this one. Thanks for a nice listen.

Alan
