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.

I like the build into the chorus. It creates the right amount of excitement to match the lyrics.
Happy Belated Birthday. I'm only in my 60s, but I'm sure my 70s will arrive sooner than I would expect them to.

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.

You have a unique voice and you've learned how to apply it to the right material. Great job!

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...

I love your creativity.
The groove, the arrangement, the mix... everything was top-notch.
And your vocals were outstanding.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself as a followed your high definition lyric video.
This is first-class music wrapped up in a first-class production.

-Noel
P.S. Happy Birthday!!!

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...

Well done Hans.
A really interesting arrangement and a strong vocal.

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...

Welcome to my world!

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
