Hi Mario, Marty, Floyd and Janne,

Thanks for your nice comments!

Great vocal, lyrics, and mix.
Super guitar lead Dave.
Loved it.

Mario, I don't see myself as being that talented, although it sounds good when someone else (that is you in this matter) say it.
Maybe that's my modesty, because I'm actually very good... ;-)
But, I really am a dreamer sometimes. I think you too! we need to be, otherwise no songs from our hands...
And you have to thank Marty for bringing Dave in, and Dave for his wonderful, but short, solo (my fault).

Man, I can hear this as a long lost song of John Lennon (without Yoko, of course). What a great idea adding Dave. Excellent changes and dynamics and the melody is quite catchy.

Marty, I told Mario it was you who told me to ask Dave for the solo. Everyone in my family knows the name 'Marty' by now. You are famous here!
Yet my sons enjoy my cooking more than my songs. And I haven't even told them yet that you and Bud are convinced I'm the resurrection of John L.
Well, maybe if I earn a fraction of what he did, I will gain more credits. It's all about money here...

The piano and acoustic guitars create a pleasant rhythm.
Very catchy chorus, the melody and the chord progression have some European flavor to my taste, I liked the modulation also.
Enjoyable vocals, the backing vocals thicken the sound nicely. And Dave... the guitar master is everywhere, he rules the world and his solo fits perfectly with your song smile
A good video also, nice dreamer cat smile

Janne

Janne, I was facinated by that 'European flavor'! I wasn't aware of that, but I think it's logicall. I am living there. And you too! And if I recall some songs from you, also from the time before the AI vocals, you had songs that gave feelings of fairies, gnomes, and other magical things. I think that is European too.
But thanks for your nice words, also about Dave and that poor cat...

Have a very creative day today,
Hans
