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.
Shigeki Adachi Thanks Shigeki Adachi for your kind and warm comment  I hope the harshness of winter in my song didn't freeze you in any way  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 Thanks Torrey for another lovely comment  Pink Floyd, I take that as a huge compliment  Janne

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. Thanks for your nice review  I tried to have a strong contrast between the lines in the beginning and ending of the verses, and it seems that I succeeded in that. And thanks to PG Music for that flute, great to have it for creation of another dimension. Janne

Good stuff Janne. Cool how you worked the flute and the guitar in together. the guitar slide at the end was a great touch. I don't think anybody's mentioned it yet, but I thought it was a really cool title too.

The lyric is excellent and thoughtful, Janne.
Janice 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.
J&B Thanks Janice and Bud for your nice comment  Don't feel guilty, just enjoy taking care of your garden  It has been really warm spring here today, but it seems that more reason for mourning is coming in the form of big snowfall and freezing days... Janne

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! Thanks Dave, it's never too late for your positive feedback  Janne

Nice intricate piece. As noted the vocalist does a good impersonation of you! Well done all round.

Janne,
Nice opening. Drums have a great sound. Interesting write. Original, interesting imagery. Vocal is good. A dramatic guitar solo! Very cool ending.
fj Thanks Floyd for your heartwarming words  I really cherish them. Janne

Brad Thanks Brad for your positive feedback  Glad you like the flute & guitar together, they have a little story: the flute is the primrose and the guitar is the juggernaut crushing it, when I was a child and had fever, I had that kind of nightmare quite often, difficult to explain it in words, but the feeling ended up in the song. Janne
