It's a tribute song to all the ones that start with Sweet home. I found that the Lap Steel track was very good

Nicely done, there's a bit of a funk attitude which is nice. And the cows finally came home sweet home to join in. I'm guessing they sang a C note

Laurent This is a cool sounding song! To me it's a melding of R&B, Rock and Country/Rock! Very nice job, the song sounds great! The instrumentation chosen were all good choices! The chorus and its melody stay with you after the song is over! That's the desired effect! Take care, TB
Love the concept of a "Sweet Home Normandy" counterpoint to, say, "Sweet Home Alabama". Just brilliant. And love what you've done with this song, including the fantastical lyrics and imagery. Everything sounds great, too. Good to have lyrics as some of the phrasings are not easy (for me) to understand. REALLY love the BIG ending. Too funny!

You are my hero, Laurent. Cool lyrics tell an interesting story on the wings of a wonderful melody. I've only been to Normandy once and it was way too short. Must be cool calling it home. I've been to Chigago, but never Alabama. Man, this is such a good song, and I really dig the solos. Fine production.
Enjoy whatever happens! marty

The imagery of the video well supports the lyric and vibe.
Great track choice and the mix sounds very good on our monitors. The mix is very open which we like and that is not easy to do with that many tracks.
Nice vocal also.
Enjoyed it!

Thanks Bass thumper. Cows, it is well known, have perfect pitch but only sing one note, the C

Thanks DC Ron. The lyrics may not have been easy to understand because there may be misunderstandings linked to my poor English skills or the eloquence of the synthesizer V. Laurent
Imaginative lyrics for a "travelers" song. The chorus melody is really catchy and is repeating in my head. I like the sound you got from the band you put together.

Bonjour Christian Merci pour tes commentaires et tu imagines bien que ce n'est pas moi le chanteur. J'ai utilisé la voix Hayden du synthetizer V. J'ai essayé de chanter en français mais même avec les corrections :c'est déplorable. Avec la synthèse c'est juste mais il faut rester dans la bonne tessiture et ce mettre à l'anglais. Amicalement Laurent

Is that you singing??? I didn't see vocals credits. May have missed it.
Anyway, that sounds awesome!
Hello David I deliberately omitted to include the singer because I wanted to see the reviews. In fact it's not me who sings, I used the synthesizer V and Hayden's voice. The results are much better than my voice but there are other constraints. Thank you for your insightful comments. Laurent
Nice song, even if the lyrics are a bit hard to understand in places. Your song is different, but quite entertaining. Enjoyed the listen. Mooo
Thank you B.D.Thomas for the comments. The lyrics are probably difficult to understand in certain places because my English is not very good and because the English singing software (synthesizer V) also modifies the pronunciation Laurent

Thank you Janice and Bud for your comments. As I told David, I used the V synthesizer for the voice because it's better than mine but that requires making lyrics in English and that's not always easy. Laurent

Nicely done, I enjoyed listening.
Hello David. I had not deliberately included the origin of the voice to see if the listeners would recognize it. Knowing that you have been working on the subject for a long time, I suspected that you would recognize the synthesizer V and Hayden's voice. For a French person it's not always easy but there is room for improvement. laurent

Thank you Ezekiel'Storm for the comments. I had fun with the lyrics by imagining improbable situations. Laurent
Love the instrumentation and arrangement of this song - but heck, mon ami, apart from loving Normandy I just don't believe those lyrics!
