Hi Torrey, Jannice and Bud, Scott, Peter, Scott S and Dave

Thank you all for your very encouraging words. These words make me want to make more songs ;-)

Your drum sounds here are great as are the use of special effects!
This has unexpected elements such as the fiddle solo! It all sounds great to me!
The best part is your vocals....raw emotion is coming through especially in that bridge section!
Very good work Hans! TB

Torrey, I'glad you mentioned that violin as unexpected instrument. I love strings, but you can't always use them.
Some here said they expected a roaring guitar. But the violin was very applicable here and very beautiful. Also a little different. I like that and apparently you do too!
And thanks of what you say about the vocals. like that, but I still think yours beat mine.

Really though, Hans, it's the timbre of your voice and your phrasing that are so wonderfully reminiscent of Lennon.
You put together some great session guys and the fiddle adds to the heartbreak vibe.
The lyric along the build in the arrangement are excellent and the video is cool with the live audience scenes interspersed.

We’re fans!
J&B

Bud, and Janice, your post sounds so nice. I almost can't believe all those compliments, so take it easy...
I already told some here John is back and it is me. and I have proof from America!!!
But what I think is the most nice part of your post? Now we are both fans from eachother :-))

Scott, this is so nice from you. Your compliments were on YT and here and now you start doing it all over again. Thanks a lot!

I enjoyed the song and the concept.
Very nicely done.

Peter, I'm glad you listened to the newest version on YT. I am still not so familiair with YT, it's the 3rd more real video I made, but I always get confused of what they are asking and so on.
I didn't know you can't replace a video. I think that has to change. You can always make a mistake on something, but before you know it you have 6 videos of the same thing...
But thanks you liked the song and that new video. The work was about half a day, because I learned how to expose the lyrics and to put movies in movies. I like doing that. Mostly, creating a good story is a challenge.

The stand outs form this song are as follows:
Your vocal. This is your strongest vocal performance I've heard so far. Excellent in all aspects.
That electric piano gives the whole song a cool and unique sound.
The mix is clear and crisp.
Darn good song!

Scott, it's so nice how you say the things you want to say! 'Bam, bam, bam' there it is.
I love that. And especially the order of those sayings
Thanks a lot!

Love the feel and the vocal.
Enjoyed!

Dave, I always thought FJ was that. So thanks for this nice compliment!
Yesterday I heard your new song. I think there's a competition going on between us in terms of songwriting!
But thanks a lot, man.
Maybe we can do a duett. Or combined with Chris?
And Marty??

Nice day to you all,
Hans
