Hi Hans,
It's great to hear your music again. And very happy tyo hear you are on the mend. Hope everything works out perfectly.
Great song@! The background tracks are just perfect fgor the sound. And the background vocals add a lot of character to the song. That was a good listen - enjoyed it very much.
Keep getting better!

Happy to hear you're on the mend and nicely done on the guitar.
Enjoyed it.
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2026 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

What a wonderful song you’ve made as a result of your operation and, wow, does your voice sound great!
The band is a winner and the solo sounds powerful.
There’s great energy all through the song.
The chorus is a delight and Janice said the way you sang this line was special:
“And when I hear that voice right behind me
Oh I... I am in heaven”
It’s a joy to know you’re recovering so well and a joy to hear your music!

You are in fine vocal form here.
I like the guitar and rhythm section that contributes to that chugging sound that presses on just like you after the accident.
I'm glad you both are back and recovered.

Nicely moving story, from a sunny day to bandages and to heaven  Glad you are okay and can write such a lovely positive song. Great intro, captivating, that solo guitarist is a very good selection. That cello fits like a glove - adding color in the verses and stronger contrast in the bridge with the interesting chord progression. Great vocals, I really like how relieved you sound when you say "oh I" Janne

Hi Marty, Andi, Mario and Scott, Thanks so much for listening to this 'hospital' song. You have to know, Mart and I were trying to make a song called 'Hans on deck'. In that concept Marty was worried about my surgery and has planned to visit me in the Netherlands by plane. At the same time I had plans to visit him in his hometown by boat. We got stuck on the story, so it ended there. Maybe one day... Beautiful sounds. Hans. A cool song of what's important in life. The lyrics paint a picture of love and happiness in a very deep level devoid of time and space. Yeah, that's it!! Happy for you both!! Hi Marty, very nice words (of course). Thanks. And you are right about the painted picture. Hi Hans
What a cool song
The background track couldn't be better - Bravo !
Absolutely top !!!
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Hi Andi, your compliments are getting nicer all the time! But I still have my doubts about my vocals. I'm glad I have more air now because of that surgery, but it still is an old voice. Anyway, I enjoy your post a lot! Hans, I'm glad that you are feeling better and producing music!
Super mix, great guitar leads.
You vocal is very strong in this song.
Great lyrics.
I really liked this one! Hello Mario, what I wrote to Andi counts for you too! You have so nice compliments, I always smile when reading them. Thanks! Second listen on this one Hans. Very cool intro. What a cool groove to this tune. I think the bass lines and hihat really contributed to the groove.. Excellent vocal and lyric. Masterful production and mix. Well done.. Hi Scott, thanks too! Close to the release of this song I changed the drums I had for this these Funky drums. I'm glad I did! And so nice you confirm me in that! Till our next songs! Hans

Hi Peter, Ray, Vic and David, Thanks a lot for your reactions on this ‘sick’ song. Very nice of you. My reply is beneath your posts. Hans
Very well done. Excellent vocal and the band sounds really good.
Hope the ongoing recovery is going well.
Peter Hans
Hi Peter, thanks for the compliments! And the recovery will take some time, if it ever heals. My ‘accident’ was different then what I sang about in the song. But to sing about what actually happened was too complicated.
[quote=rayc]Medically inspired music.
Cool chugging band.
Positive vibes story song.
I really enjoyed it. Hi Ray, it’s a bit different from ‘what Julia said’ 🤓 of course, but glad you enjoyed it! The intro grabbed me, Hans.
A worrying experience that turned out well.
Good production.
Vic Hi Vic, I’m very glad you liked it! Don’t know if it will turn out well, but I can still make songs… Hi, Hans. Nice vibe! Sounds very cool - as Vic says, "Good production". Glad you're doing OK. Real life is rarely simple enough to write out "As Is" - it makes much more sense to edit out the "unimportant" details. Hi David, you are right about leaving out the details. I wanted to deal with feelings, more than what really happened. Thanks! We’ll meet again at our mutual songs, Hans
