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 smile

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.

Laurent, great tune.
Super vocal and video.
You backing tracks a spot on!
Super mix also.

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!

Salut Laurent,
Ta chanson est très bien construite et, cerise sur le gâteau, tu maîtrises bien le chant en anglais.

Well done in all aspects.

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!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

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

Thanks Mario. We have to thank Synthesizer V for the singing Mr Hayden is very good.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
