Hi Scott and Vic,

Thanks for listening and commenting on that Bad Luck song!

Hey Scott, I'm glad you liked that fiddle. Because of it's 5-strings it has a somewhat peculiair sound. I like that, but not every one does. Thanks!

I would suggest you look at the prosody in these lines:
"or signals to send, as far as I know", and "I must be found real soon".
Those lines are showing you are worried or in doubt but your vocal moves up in pitch so sounds too cheerful.
As I said, the song has good pace/ rhythm and your voice is strong.

Hi Vic, thanks for mentioning your prosody worries to me (and your compliments as well). I think I know what you mean, but do not agree with that.
The lines in the verses you mentioned were to discribe the hopeless situation the person is in, (the bad luck) but he wants to make the best out of it.
He imagines his wife/girlfriend is with him, although he know she isn't..
He can't afford to sit there as a desperate man. He has to be strong and filled with faith (for her). Until the end, when he felt her lips.
I don't think I sang that cheerful. More sensitively and secretly hoping for Good Luck.


Wish you both a nice day,
Hans
