Janne,

Really catchy in a lot of ways . . . a toe tapping head nodder. Great use of vocaloids. Really like those harmonies in the chorus. And boy, that Stick to the Plan refrain . . . magnetic. Nice touches on the production throughout. Perfect ending as well—sharp arrangement.

Very slick tune!

Janne,

Synth V's vocals are really good.
It's easy to see why everyone uses Synth V instead of Vocaloid.
The basics are rock, but the chord progression has your own flavor, making it a work of high originality and quality.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

It's a damn catchy song, very entertaining, and the idea with the fake ending before the solo works very well.
Enjoyed the listen.
A lot!

Thanks B.D. for your pleasant comment smile Well, there are many wild theories trying to explain life, probably none are true, but I like to read about them, especially if they are creative and have ideas that seem to "click". And of course I like to make songs about these theories wink

That guitar does work really well, as does the organ.
Your singers sound great together and had us both smiling. 😊

Enjoyed it!

J&B

Thanks Janice and Bud for your kind and supportive comment smile Glad you understood the twisted humor part also. Janice's mother has given a very good advice, and worth following, although I have to admit, it is not easy to laugh when you are waist-deep in a muddy ditch laugh

Janne,
Wow, you really got a hang of those robo singers. Do you beat them to comply? Very cool & energetic arrangement. Seems you invested a lot of time in producing this hit. Mix is A+. Fun listen and thank you for sharing.

Incredible song and arrangement ~ and very true too, particularly the finals verse.


Some favourite Waoist Adages:

#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Hi Janne,

I posted a reaction on your song, youst some minutes ago but I can't find it anymore. That's a pitty, because I did my best...
But I gave a comment on your song on SoundCloud and liked it.
I want to tell you are really good with those AI voices, just like Brain and David C.
I had 2 AI voices from Emvoice to practise, but I fear I'm not even close to your achievements!
I realize it must have been a lot of work to get the AI vocal sounds so realistic. Also because it's a fast song.
I liked the song and the atmosphere it has. Schoolboys drama (in a way).

I don't agree with your statement we have a plan and have to stick on that. I think it is pure luck or the lack of that, what decides who we become (and a huge discussion about all that too)

But I stick to my feelings loving the song, Janne!
Hans
