Hi Wao, Izzy, Tano, Marty and Floyd,

Thanks for the attention for the song and the nice words telling it to me.
I'm very pleased with them.


Hello Wao, a nice compliment from you! The balance was a little challenge, but now I know I did it well. Thanks!


Hi Izzy, always when beautiful ladies are involved I have to search for (clever) words... And now you told me I do that well!
About my mixes, sometimes it's a bit of luck, but I take the stereo field very serious and how the fx (like reverb and delay) work out on tracks, especially vocal tracks. Mostly I sing all the vocals myself, including the BG tracks. Sometimes I use Vocalign to line out tall those vocals, but not always. And to tell you a secret; I don't really like mixing and mastering. I want to make songs, not be bothered by millions of buttons and plugins. But I found out I have to learn all this, because they improved by this. If you listen to older songs from me, you hear what I mean. But thanks a lot of all you wrote!


Hi Tano, thanks for what you wrote! Yes, I sing all the vocal tracks seperately and mostly I vary them (hights, pronouncation etc). That's what you hear. The bridge was not planned, but when listening to the concept, I thought I miss something. Then I solo'd the piano and there was my bridge! I was afraid time would spoil my vocals, but not yet. Oh, they were lowered, but I have to add; of course.


Hi Marty, glad you discovered that translation tool from Google! Now I can read in my own language what I don't understand when talking or chatting to you ;-))
My wife repeatetly said she doesn't hear any Beatle when I sing. I threatened her with reason (Bud and Marty say...), a divorse (you have bad ears, I go!) or whatever, but she persists. Can't find words for that! Yes 3: She's right...
But thanks for your support on all my latest songs!


Hi Floyd, are you already in your 70's? Don't think so, you sound so young! But thanks for your wishes. And also for your compliments on the song and video. On my -new- age one doesn't blush, but you made me come close to it!!!

I wish you all crative times with BiaB 2025 and am looking forward to your new songs.
I will do my best too,

Hans

Very pleasant pop song. I can easily relate to the message, too many times I haven't find words, even if I've prepared... the lyrics handle the subject with a smiling touch and the outro is the icing on your birthday cake, congratulation for reaching another BIG milestone

The arrangement is once again interesting, from the nice acoustic intro to the vibes and oohs there is lovely nostalgic feel. The bridge gives time to breathe. And then some electric candy in the solo that fits surprisingly well.

Catchy melody and rhythm. Great vocals and great work with the backing vocals. Your voice sounds still like a 30 year old youngster, but with a lot of life experience

Janne

It is totally positive!

I guess you are a Senior now per Janice.
She says she became a “Junior Senior” at 65 and will remain so until age 70. 😉
And Bud says he's a Senior Senior.

Love the song lyric, performances, mix and video. (Welcome back, John!)
Solo is very good and the Vibes sound so happy

The video images made us smile - love the laughing flowers and the close up of the smiling woman.

Loved it!

Hi Scott, TuneMonger, Noel, Ray and Mario,

Well, you made my days with your comment on this song where finding words is a big issue.
I'm not even sure if I can find the right words to thank you, but if not, always keep in mind I'really like what you wrote.


Hi Scott, so you are the youngster here... When I became 60, I was still working as an adisor, but the I felt I am no longer part of the workers there.
I was one of the oldest. A strange feeling...
What is your experience with that now? And yes, 70 is already looking at you!
I hoped aging wouldn't affect my vocals too much. I was afraid of that. But until now it is bearable. Some still call me John in this forum ;-))
In the chorusses I did all the singing by myself. No fx (yet), only reverb and a bit of delay.
And thanks for your congratulations. It's been 14 days now, it doesn't feel that bad yet.


Hi TM, thanks a lot! I never thought of my voice this way. I know I can sing, but 'a unique voice' is something I can only dream of.
And you made that dream come closer...


Hi Noel, let me start with thanking you for this nice post of yours. I think I could blush a bit, but in your 70's you don't do that.
Becoming 70 is something I still must get used too. It sounds soooo old!
And then I read your words about creativity, brilliance, and outstanding. Wow, that is something not much 70 year old people hear!
Again, thanks for these words...


Hi Ray, normally I expect some nits about the song or the mix from you, but you didn't do that!
You are just very positive! Thank you for that. Makes me feel a bit proud, but I will try to keep my feet on the ground...


Hello Mario, that's what people call dimention... But here I was to much overwhelmed...
And I doubt if this is your world, hearing those good songs you made, with or without vocals...


Thank you all again and have a creative day, even you Mario!
Hans

Hi Janne, Bud and Janice,

It took me some time to reply on your posts, but here I am.
Initially; thank you very much for your messages and the words you have used. I couldn't find mine for a while (silly joke, I fear).


Hi Janne, well, your words are beautiful!!! Now I've lost mine again... to a man!
I wish I can behave (or sing) some more time as a youngster with a carload of experience ;-)


Hi Bud and Janice, yes I am the one in the middle...
Now that I have your attention, I want to tell you that I'm really sorry that I realized your birthday too late. I still had to process mine...
And Marty told me first something in my vocals reminded him of John L. Then I knew I had to keep that in the song, because of you!
But my wife, family and myself, never discovered a John vibe in my vocals... We are too critical, I fear.
Thanks for your smile for the video. I used AI in Canva to give me singing and smiling daisies. Took me hours and had to reject a lot of them. AI was so stupid here...
But the woman did good, even that wink!

Till our next songs,
Hans

Happy 70th birthday, Hans.
I wish you many, many more!

Your song, especially together with your video, puts a big smile on my face
Well done.
And I love your vocal performance, even though I don't hear Lennon, your phrasing and positive vibe remind me more of Marty, which is even better.

Excellent tune Mario. Really cool vocal and lyric. Loved the backing band and production...
