No Limit

This is a song about one species that uses enormous amount of resources of its home planet and all the time there is less and less space and food left for other species. It seems that nothing can stop its feast in the long run. There is no solution to the problem, no limits can be placed on it.

I'm testing a new Synth V vocalist NOA Hex here, quite versatile and powerful, although it feels that its voice is not very recognizable.

I have no idea what the style of the song is, but it is a combination of dancehall, funk and tango Thanks to BIAB for the inspirational band. I'm very sorry for all electricity wasted and tiny bit of AI brain consumed to conceive this insignificant work.

Based on the style _DANCEY

Lyrics:

A caterpillar swarm
has eaten all the green
the plague of the Earth
desolation as far as can be seen
there's no universal court to intervene.

[Chorus]
There's no limit for this beast
epidemics only slow down its feast
from the bottom of the seas
to the top of the trees
its might is coming to squeeze.

Not every seventh year
but daily on this sphere
it feels like the end is near.

By the crawler jaws
all forests have been chewed
voracious to farm
when its billions of offsprings cry for food
no natural menace preying on its brood.

[Chorus]

A mineral-eating pest
shoves out all the rest
a cuckoo in a pristine nest.

Settlements, road construction
cultivation, intoxicant production
logging, drilling and mining
a waste cloud without a silver lining.
Holocene extinction, in the twinkling of an eye
the work of million years is going to die
from moas to coral reefs and bees
for lithium, cobalt and manganese.

[Chorus]

The paradise with lagoons
is now desert dunes
next target is to mine the moon.

Janne, this is wild and really cool. That's quite a unique theme, and it all fits together really nicely with that eclectic band. As for musical style, think I like "Bolero Activism", but you can call it anything you like, since it's your unique creation. Super arrangement and mix. I like the lead vocalist you've spun up. As I listen to his big voice I'm picturing a Nature Conservancy (or similar) Public Service Announcement music video. That would be killer. You mention "AI" but I'm not seeing where. Is that the vocalist? Anyway...love your tune!

Janne,

Very cool! Love the arrangement and the singer has a great delivery. Excellent groove and mix.

Bob

Cool protest song in a somewhat strange style, but it grew on me as I listened to it.
Good singer, he sounds perfect for the song.
Well done!

This is the most interesting and amazing song I have heard on these forums. Lyrics: Imaginative, unique, interesting subject matter, Melody: Complicated yet feels right Arrangement: The groove fits the subject and mood of the lyrics perfectly, I like the way you keep interest by dropping out and dropping in. I really like the rhythm; Tango? Bossa? Rock? a mix of everything. Then the nylon guitar riffs are the icing. Also great use of SynthV vocals .... he adds a theatrical feel to the song which works with your lyrics,

NICE!!!

Hi, Janne.

Cool funky sound. Noa Hex sounds good.

The lyrics are delivered in a bit of a firehose of words, but that fits the frenetic sound of the sond.

I love that Latin influence. It's a rough, depressing topic, but somehow the music managed to make it exciting. It evokes a Broadway music/dance number. I can see a full stage production with dancers and jungle scenes.

Janne, a very clever song
The synth voice sounds great
Super arrangement
Super groove
Great mix

Thanks DC Ron for your pleasant review Bolero Activism sounds great Nice idea about the video, I have my own vision for a video, hope to get motivated enough to make it come true...

I used AI to check the lyrics and give some suggestions. I didn't use any of those suggestions, except one pair of rhymes - I originally had greed/speed, but I changed it to beast/feast, because it sounded more brutal

Janne

So basically about Homo Sapiens. You know I prefer you vocals, but neither of us can do as well as you have crafted these synths, Janne. Man, this is a sensational production. So much to enjoy!! And you bring them in and out so perfectly. That guitar is terrific. Right now I'm listening for the 3rd time, but still can't hear anything insignificant. You create so many quotable lines in your lyrics. Love those horns. Did you have to modify them much or are they right out of the box (pun intended)? That guitar really shines in quality and you placed it in all the right spots. With all of that that is going on in there, you still manage to give the production dynamic changes that really keep the listener loving it.

After the moon, on to Mars.

Hi Janne.
Certainly is an interesting production with it's Flamenco edge.
It would fit well into a stage production about saving the planet.
Vocal sounds fine.
Well done.

Vic

Thanks Bob, I appreciate your positive review

Janne

Thanks B.D. for your nice review I didn't mean this to be a protest song, but more like a dramatic nature document...

Janne

Janne,

This is a very rich production and so well done!

I really enjoyed this! Super music man. Kudos!

Sensational production. The backing band you created pulls you right in. Lyrics hit their target!

Janne,

Man, this covers a lot of territory - musically and lyrically. I truly love the Latin Funk bent. I was surprised - but happy - to hear an acoustic lead vs a wild electric throwdown. It just adds to the diversity of this amazing musical creation. I like the new Synth voice - strong and fairly deep. This is an amazing tour of creative composing.

Nice work - as always.

Alan

Cool music and an ambitious, very worthy narrative. Sounds like it's prog rock meets jazz concept album.
The lead vocal seems too laid back, light pop for the story.

Thanks Elliott for your very heartwarming comment I'm really glad you found so many nice things to say about my little tune

Janne

Well, as fellow nature lovers, these lines sum it up, don’t they?!
“There's no limit for this beast
epidemics only slow down its feast
from the bottom of the seas
to the top of the trees
its might is coming to squeeze.”

We love the mashup of styles and your new singer fits well. Janice said she could picture a stage play of this fine musical production. The “happy” sound of the band keeps the lyric from totally depressing us. 😊

Great BiaB session guys, arrangement and mix.

Cool!

J&B

Thanks David for your your nice review Yeah, I have a habit to write with too many words so I have to squeeze them to fit in... and the subject contained many ideas I had to leave out... but maybe some day I'll learn to use only the most important lines
