Hey Janne. Wow! What an amazing work. You are truly a highly creative inventor when it comes to writing, arranging and producing music. This is first-class listening. I love your choice of voices and choice of instruments. Simply stunning. I also really like the major-to-minor key change. And using the more classic-voice sounding Lang Chuan vocals with the chorus was an excellent idea. The two different voices worked well together because of the way you arranged them. It felt like they belonged together. This is quite an amazing musical journey and definitely a creation to be proud of. --Noel P.S. I was super-impressed that you chose to be inspired by Australia. Mind you, I'm a bit biased because I happen to think that I live in one of the best countries on Earth.

Nice work with the instrumentation, especially that piano. Your lyrics are really good, especially the chorus. Speaking of the chorus, it has a theatrical sound to it. The wind instrument (dizi flute?) sounded cool.

Janne
You have produced an extraordinarily beautiful and important body of work. The protection of Flora and Fauna is vitally important and you are helping to spread this message via your vastly huge talent.
Bravo.
Izzy Thanks Izzy, your kind and encouraging words really warm my heart Janne

Wonderful song, Janne!
Loved the video too, very supportive.
My wife and I both love nature and being outdoors. Nothing better in my book! Thanks Dave for your nice feedback Glad to hear you love being outdoors, it is so vital to be connected to nature. Janne

A beautiful song about the place where I write most of my songs, somewhere out in the woods (though not in the mangroves), all alone with myself and my dog. Your vocal arrangement gives the piece an almost operatic atmosphere in places, and I really like what you did with your four singers. Very good ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Thanks BD for your very nice comment And nice to know how the woods inspire your masterpieces ❤️ Janne

Janne, a fantastic song about a very important topic, protecting the earth.
Before my wife had her accident we used to walk a lot. Nothing upsets me more than to be on a nature trail and see liter, i.e. cans, bottles, cigarette packages and butts, etc.
An excellent production. Thanks Mario for your lovely feedback Yep, the most pleasant places in nature are those where there are no signs of human activity. Janne

Hi Janne.
Pretty song.
As B.D. said, Lang Chuan has an operatic sound, giving the chorus a different flavor.
And the solo instruments also helped give it a distinct sound. Thanks David for your kind comment Isn't it nice to have wide variety of Synth V voices I was happy to find a suitable role for Lang Chuan immediately, but there are voices I've almost never used... Janne

You know that we love the topic of your song and your production for both the song and the video are excellent.
With the vocalists you chose the choruses and bridge sound magestic.
Once again you’ve assembled an interesting and enjoyable band too.
The wollimi pine documentary is fascinating and reminds us of what a brief time we are here.
The cassoweries were amazing and the doc did a good job of showing our connectedness.
On that note (pun intended) we’re going for a hike in the woods!
Well done and we enjoyed it all!
J&B Thanks Janice & Bud for your kind words I'm always waiting for your nice comment especially when it's about nature. "Brief time" and "connectedness" - I appreciate your beautiful insights. I hope you enjoyed your hike in the woods, I guess it is your paradise there Janne

Hi Janne,
You did a wonderful job with making this song. I wrote on your YT channel that in a way its classical, but also contemporary. That's the feeling your AI vocals achieved here. And I agree with all the compliments the forum members gave to you!
It must have been some challenge to create this song and let all the AI vocals listen to you.
So, a great song!!!
Hans Thanks Hans for your wonderful comment Yeah, a challenge to create, but worth the effort because it worked for you Janne

Thanks Noel for your heartwarming feedback I'm very glad that you liked the combination of those two different voices, I also felt that they belonged together. Yep, never been in Australia, but I admire Australia and its nature, because it is so different and diverse. And I agree that it is one of the best countries on Earth, because you and many other talented BIAB users come from there And I've listened to bands like Crowded House, Men at Work and Wolfmother... Janne

The wind instrument (dizi flute?) sounded cool. Thanks ES for your heartwarming comment Glad you liked the lyrics, it is usually the hardest part of the musical journey and it is worth it when I get so nice feedback. And thanks to BIAB for the dizi flute, I wish there were more these world instruments. Janne
