Well produced track…great handling of the synth voices, and I liked the overall mix.
I agree with Ray..lyrics don’t have to make sense, altho it always seems like a wasted opportunity to not try to make them say something understandable. I didn’t think the lyric matched your normal work..I don’t think “spaghetti” belongs in any song..
But much to be appreciated anyway. Thanks for going back to retrieve this lost child! Thanks for your kind words  No spaghetti? Hmm maybe I use lasagna in my next song  Janne

I liked this a lot. I had no problems with the lyrics except for some prosody issues here and there: you're really making Synth V work for its pay. This song featured your usual esoteric creativity and was quite catchy in a very good way. Definitely worth resurrecting. Nice job! Thanks, I appreciate your your supportive comment Yep, the more words the more likely there are prosody issues. Janne

Janne,
That's a very cool song and was definitely worth finishing. I really like what you have done with the arrangement and the Synth V voices. Some nice production choices.
Great stuff!
Bob Thanks Bob for your positive comment Janne

Great Rockin’ band! The mix and solos nail that vibe. Very clever lyric - one of many phrases that stand out: “Build the bridge across the gulf of glaring disparity we should have a halfway lunch at the lounge of fragility.” Janice loved the spaghetti reference and immediately could see the lovers sharing the one noodle and kissing when they met in the middle. 😊 Vocals blend well and when harmonies are present we envision a rock opera. A wee bit scary cover art that speaks well to the timeless lovers. We’re glad you revived this one! J&B

Excellent vocals singing outstanding lyrics, but they should be more up front. Oh, this is so good. So glad you found it and finished it. I like the arrangment and that guitar solo was a good touch. Janne, I really enjoy your lyrics. I get what you're saying about the missing link. Sometimes those links can be reconnected with the strong magnitism of love and melded together with the heat of passion. Thanks Marty for your wonderful review And I'm glad you got the idea of the missing link. "melded together with the heat of passion" I love that line, maybe we should make a song around it I'm still figuring out how to continue it, something like "and forged into a sword by determination" but rhyming... Janne

Janne, I really liked this
It does have a Devo vibe to it and that is a good thing
Good work with those synth voices
I found nothing wrong with those lyrics, they made sense to me
Great backing band and mix
A super song. Thanks Mario for your super feedback Glad to know my lyrics made sense to you Janne

Nice job. The synth V vocals work well. I just purchased Synth V and am looking forward to finishing some songs. I really appreciate how much work it takes to get synth vocals to sound good as I worked with Vocaloid in the past, but Synth V seems a bit easier. Thanks Mark, I appreciate your positive feedback Yeah, with Vocaloid you had to work hard and still the song sounded awful, but with Synth V everything sounds 90% great after the melody has been input, then you can just concentrate on small details. Janne

I listened 4 times to your song. It's intriguing, in the way your AI-personell sing it, the lyrics and the music itself.
And intriguing means; very interesting, good, nice, creative.
Maybe it means more, but for now it's enough.
The vocals are very good. To me it seems a lot of work to let them sing so rapidly while sounding so nice.
The song itself has something of a musical-song. Especially in the choruses. That makes it cheerful, while also a bit sad.
I have translated your lyrics, because I couldn't get everything that was sung. They are wonderful and complicated at the same time!
And another thing; I didn't think this was a song of yours. It's really different, but the way I started my text; intriguing.
Hans Thanks Hans for your super positive comment And for all those listenings Glad you worked out the lyrics, maybe too complicated, but I can happily wallow in your "wonderful" word  Janne

Great driving rock sound with a perfect selection of instruments, sounds really good.
I'm a bit undecided about the vocals, they sound okay but seem a bit stiff and unrocky.
I would at least increase their volume in the mix and add a little distortion.
If you want to invest more time, you can also incorporate some timing variations/small pauses so that not every syllable is exactly on the beat.
This would eliminate the stiffness.

Is it now impossible to listen to music on SoundCloud without having to log-in? I currently can't listen to this post without logging-in, but I don't like having to be logged-in to 2 different accounts at the same time.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

I finally managed to hear a SC post. What's changed is that if I click on the Play button at the top I get a window come up requiring me to log-in. So I just tried clicking the Play buttom at the bottom of the screen and that played. But I've never had that former happen before.

This is a great rock song and production with great guitar work, but SynthV vocals rarely ever make it for me as they sound like what they are: synthetically put together, but the session vocalists aren’t native English, but while they're chosen because they sound English they lack the soulful inflections of English AI as in PeterMcN's current post, "If It Weren't For Bad Luck (Id Have No Luck At All")"

Hi Janne.
You are one of the most adventurous lyric writers on the forum.
I love and greatly admire you ability to find rhymes between words not commonly used in song.
You have quite an amazing skill.
This arrangement is top shelf.
You use of Synth V is fantastic. Just brilliant.
I really enjoyed this musical journey!
--Noel

I love the big sound you have created here, Janne, guitars sound great, all of them.
Nice vocals too, I liked blend of the two voices, and an interesting write as per usual.
Good stuff! Thanks Dave for your positive review Glad you liked all the guitars, Mr. Guitar Janne
