Wait, there are more than three chords?! Who knew!  Excellent, Janne, good write, and I really like the vocals too. Enjoyed! Thanks Dave for your kind review  I think there is only one chord, but thousands of variations of it  Janne

Janne,
This is excellent. You really do some outstanding work with the Synth V voices.
Everything sounds great and the mix is awesome.
Bob Thanks Bob, I truly appreciate your pleasant feedback Janne

Janne, just what I needed, a happy go luck drinking song.
Super synth vocals.
Great backing band and mix.
Loved it.
BUT now I have to go and crack open a beer. Don't fret, I will toast it to you! Thanks Mario for your positive words and the toast, very much appreciated Janne

This is a most joyful write and sounds like it was fun to create too.
There’s almost a rumba feel to it that gives us “happy feet.” Saros and Weina are a perfect fit for each other and we agree with you on the soothing quality of Saros’s low notes.
Great band choice and mix ... no surprise there.
Thanks for lifting us up!
J&B Thanks Janice and Bud for your positively happy comment and feet Yes, it was fun to create with BIAB's large instrument selection as the inspiration. Janne

Bouncy and upbeat! The three chords work like a charm. Mix is spot on. Excellent work with the synth voices. Those synths sound like it would be too complicated for me to figure out to use them. Thanks Mr. Storm for your heartwarming feedback Those synth voices may sound complicated, but they are super easy to use, just give them your lyrics and the melody and that's 90% finished. Janne

HI Janne,
Definitely a fun song! I really like the percussive elements.
I've used the micro chord option a few times and found them to me quite nice for certain songs. I enjoyed this a lot!
Take care,
Alan Thanks Alan for your kind comment Janne

Hi Janne. I loved it! This is such a bright and bouncy number that my feet were tapping along by bar two. At time, it felt like the groove almost had a reggae feel. I really enjoyed your writing. The lyrics worked for me and the chorus was excellent. Saros and Weina were an inspired combination. They sounded excellent together. You really are getting the hang of Synth V's vocaloids. I'm envious All the best, --Noel

It certainly has a positive and happy feel, but for my personal taste the percussion makes it a bit hectic.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed the listen.
Good work on the harmonies! Thanks B.D. for you kind comment Glad you enjoyed it! Janne

I sometimes have the same feelings as where your post started with; "after several dark and depressing songs... etc."
And the you come up with something cheerful: Drinking!
Sometimes I do that on my one, but only after a hard days work on making songs or reparing things in the house, coocking, or whatever reason.
But at first: your songs can be dark sometimes, but never depressing. I understand you feel that way, but your songs always have a nice twist in them that give me - at least- a smile or a melancholic feeling.
Second: This song is a lovely, funny song with very good use of the artificial vocals. I'm still thinking of making a duet with one or more AI vocals, but I'm still a bit scared of the amount of work that entails.
So, I love your song. Maybe the percussion could use some reverb, but I'm not very sure about that.
Joten: Tsemppiä!
Hans Thanks Hans for your heartwarming comment Glad to hear that you have found twists even in my most darkest songs I'm really glad for those Finnish words that fit perfectly with your encouraging words. It would be really interesting to hear you dueting with AI vocals, but I enjoyed your duet with Anne-Marie so I can live without an AI duet Janne
