Big production, sounds almost theatrical, like a from a Broadway musical. Interesting chord changes, and melody. Jun sounds fantastic, very natural.

Janne,
I can deeply feel the harshness of winter in Finland in this tune.
The slightly folk-like minor melody is perfect for these lyrics.
The selection of Synth V is also very appropriate.
Your skill in using Synth V is really great.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Always an interesting, full production from you, Janne.
I almost used the Dizi flute in my last song but changed it at the last minute.
Maybe I should have kept it.
Vic Thanks Vic for your positive review  Yes, that dizi flute is a great one, with right combination of chords and regeneration it will give amazing results. Maybe in your next song? Janne

Great intro, that flute sounds amazing!
The dreary, seemingly endless winter just lends itself to these kinds of darker lyrics! But that's ok because so many can relate!
The synth vocals are really good as is the guitar solo stuff later in the song!
Very fine work!
Thanks, TB Thanks Torrey, I appreciate your supportive and positive feedback I agree, that flute is amazing and the guitar solo as well, BIAB just gets better every year. Janne

Hi, Janne.
A very poetic write! You got an appropriately mournful performance from Jun. I could feel him plodding through the endless snow. Thanks David for your appreciative comment Glad you found my write poetic, although I'm far away behind your poetic talent Very well said about mournful performance in the endless snow, I'm glad that I used Jun. Janne

Very lovely song Janne!
Love the flute sounds, but the melody especially in the chorus is the real star here. The transition to the chorus is really Pink Floyd like! Great song! TB

Effective imagery in the opening lyric.
I love that flute. It adds a pleasing dimension to the song. And what your did with that soloist track is perfect! So awesome.
The synth voice sounds real.

Janne,
Great song and production. I'm continually amazed at the versatility of the Synth V vocals.
You have done an excellent job here. Completely enjoyed.

Without Winter Spring would have little impact. Yes, this song has a dirge like feel drudging through the climatic transisition, but it is one most of us can get behind you and trudge with our heads down and still be happy. Man, I can't wait for your Spring song, Janne. This one is so well produced, and, man, no matter what words you use, the lyrics are always top-shelf poetry. Thanks Marty for your very kind words, especially concerning the lyrics Well, it seems that Spring will be very short this year and I won't have enough time to get inspired by its presence, the forecast tells it's going to snow 10cm tonight just when the old snow had been slightly been melted... But because Winter is still here, it has inspired me to start writing another song, it is going to be called The Heat Is Not On  Janne

The lyric is excellent and thoughtful, Janne. J
anice and her sister recently discussed the impact of increased development in the North Carolina mountain community where her sister lives. Also, like you, her sister is more than ready for springtime to appear!
Jun does sound remarkably like you and delivers the mournful feel very well.
Like others we thought the flute was a great choice and that solo guitar really did the job.
Now we feel almost guilty for enjoying our new spring blooms here.

Hi Janne,
Sorry to be so late to the party.
Yes, that synth vocal does sound very similar to your voice, both in tone and phrasing.
Loved the flute! Guitar is great also, nice fit.
Good song!

Powerful intro Janne. Excellent song. Loved the flute and awesome vocal. Living in northern Canada can definitely relate with the lyrics. Perfect production and mix. Well done Thanks Scott for your positive review I was going to say I'm glad, but actually I'm sorry that you can relate with the lyrics, enduring winters is such a hard work. But at least it is a continuous source of inspiration for music  Janne

At my first listen I thought it was your own voice, but then I read it it was that synth vocal.
A good song about that nasty winter. I read RnAM told you here it is spring.
Well... I know where they live and I can tell you, there is no spring at all.
Sometimes a watery sun,, but spring...?
Back to your song: a lot of nice instruents you useed and especially the flute is wonderful.
It felt as if I was in the woods, walking through that snow, but still enjoying myself.
That's because I had my headphones with your song. Gave me a peacefull feeling, eventhough the weather is bad...
So, very well done. And I must not forget to mention the bg-vocals. They are very good!
Hans Thanks Hans for your nice review, always pleasure to read your interesting thoughts Glad to hear that my song gave you a peaceful feeling, although it was so dark and without hope. It is interesting that winter is quite different in different countries, you probably don't have an idea how cold and snowy it can be here... and based on the news there is a chaos in traffic after a tiny snowfall in southern countries (here it is just normal routine). Unfortunately, this climate change has caused one thing I really hate, walking paths are icy through whole winter, because of continuous melting and freezing. In my childhood, there was just snow...

Big production, sounds almost theatrical, like a from a Broadway musical. Interesting chord changes, and melody. Jun sounds fantastic, very natural. Thanks Elliot for your heartwarming comment I didn't have a Broadway musical in my mind, but I like the concept, maybe I should write one now that several Synth V vocalists sound quite theatrical.
