Hi Janne,

What a crazy nice song! Very good!!!
The lyrics are outstanding and funny. How did you fantasize all of that?
Well, at least elder people now know what to do...

Very creative and these AI voices did very good. Kevin almost sounded like your own vocals (a bit younger and more in tune, but still)
And the other AI vocals helped very well on the bg.
Really, great funny song!

If this is what being depressed feels like put me in coach!!

Thanks David for your fun and positive comment smile Although it is not respectful to laugh at depression, it is healthy to laugh when being depressed wink

We like the variety in the Synth V vocalists and your rock band idea was a great one for this subject matter.

Now we need a prequel for the “early years!” 😊

Kudos!

J&B

Thanks J & B for your kind feedback and liking my strange humor smile I wonder what those early years could contain, but thanks for the idea laugh

Janne, your depressive song has a good amount of humor in it. I like the energy of the backing band . Those synth voices are amazing. I’m sure there was a considerable amount of time spent on translating then working with Synth V. You make it look easy. I like Elliot’s comment about rock opera. I thoroughly enjoyed it,Tom

A big sound, well constructed. The vocals were very effective and cleverly programmed.
Interesting both musically and lyrically, kept my attention throughout.
Well done.

Thanks ES your kind words smile And thanks for quoting that line... even twice laugh

Thanks Hans for your crazy smiling comment smile Glad you found the song funny, even for a story about those who have had quite miserable lives. Interesting observation about Kevin, younger me, perhaps, more in tune - definitely laugh

Thanks Tom, I appreciate your positive feedback smile Glad you found enough humor in the song also. The translation is always a difficult part, especially when things like local names cannot be translated as such.

Excellent tune Janne. Loved the driving backtrack. Really suits the lyrics. Excellent vocals. Guitar break was excellent as well. Really well done..

Hi Janne,

Elliott summed this up pretty good from my POV - Rock Opera in spades! Now, you have to write the movie script for the opera!

That band is really, really good! Your humor is off-besat in the best way. I'm okay with the synth vocals. the lyrics are challenging, and I thought your vocalist did a good job of addressing that challenge.

I always love your music. I never know what to expect, but I know I won't be disappointed. Nice work!

Take care,

Alan

PS: I got my DNA results about 3 weeks ago. It says I'm 2% Finnish - that was unexpected! But it put a smile on my face!

Excellent production.
