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!
Hans

Hey Janne,
If there's one thing I can say about you, you know how to write a happy, really danceable rock and roll song with plenty of good laughs.
With all this great Rock and Roll music man what's not to love, and the parts about being depressed made me laugh out loud.
If this is what being depressed feels like put me in coach!! Thanks David for your fun and positive comment  Although it is not respectful to laugh at depression, it is healthy to laugh when being depressed  Janne

Well, the depressing parts are helped by your humor considerably!
These lines made us think of discussions we both had with family and friends in the local “home.”
“Sorrow, longing and depressive nights
why couldn't doctors vaccinate against those blights”
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 I wonder what those early years could contain, but thanks for the idea  Janne

Great music arrangement and mix, but lyrically too down for me. Thanks for your positive words Sorry that my lyrics in this song and in quite many others are not that positive, I hope to get out of this dark mode soon Janne

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.

Wow this is excellent. The SynthV work is exceptional very human sounding. Singing difficult melody lines. The music fits the odd nature of the lyrics. This is almost a like a Rock Opera. Impressive Thanks Elliot for your uplifting feedback Rock Opera ... yeah I can imagine this one being played on stage... Janne

Very original sound with the melody and instrumentation. Dark tone, but tempered with some humorous lines (at least in English), such as "hey nurse, could you give me a remedy/ a needle to my butt and out of misery" and "hey nurse, could you give me a remedy/ a needle to my butt and out of misery." Thanks ES your kind words And thanks for quoting that line... even twice Janne

Hans Thanks Hans for your crazy smiling comment 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 Janne

The translation is always a difficult part, especially when things like local names cannot be translated as such. Janne

Hi jannesan,
Composition rich in musical instrumentation. Guitar solo 3349 is interesting. Synth V is very popular among musicians on the forum. The whole orchestration is pleasant. well done.

Wow this is excellent. The SynthV work is exceptional very human sounding. Singing difficult melody lines. The music fits the odd nature of the lyrics. This is almost a like a Rock Opera. Impressive 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!
