Mario, love this! The slow, wobbly lead vocal and harmonies are PERFECT. Heck, everything here is perfect. You are the MIDI master, BUT...this sounds great, too! Super job, Maestro! Thanx so much Ron. My vocal was wobbly could I can't sing for beans! Vocals are my Kryptonite!

Hi Mario. You took me by surprise. When I looked at the title, I tried to imagine what a song called "Drinking My Weight In Beer" could be about. I could hear the country overtones in the title but given your skills in the Ambience genre, I was puzzled. Then I opened this thread, read your intro and hiked over to Soundcloud! Well... you entertained me and had me smiling all the way through. It's a clever write  Thanks for being a bit of sunshine on this rainy old Melbourne day. I loved that you began with the chorus. It set the the scene and the tone perfectly for the verses. --Noel P.S. It's great to hear you sing again.

Funny title, funny song. You always pull the right strings to bring joy into my life, from a sentimental orchestral piece to an ironic country song. This song cheers happiness and freedom with catchy melody, perfectly simple instrumentation, enjoyable vocals and very humorous rhyming. I guess you never get out of your comfort zone, it's so wide Janne

Anytime I try something new, like this song, I am out of my comfort zone but I guess it is expanding one song at a time.
