Dazzling lyrics straight to the point, you always look on the bright sides of life and this song really captures those wonders. And "I thank the stars that for a little while/I get to call it home" is the attitude we should always have also during the difficult times.

Beautiful melody and chords, everything just clicks, stars have been aligned perfectly to you. Very nice work with the vocals, even when it's a female vocalist, the voice still sounds like you, I enjoy that. The arrangement is perfect for the message.

I vote for this to become the (inter)national anthem of Earth.

Hi Janne.

It's always excellent to see you. Thanks for noticing those lines. They actually took me quite a while to discover. After lots of thinking, eventually I came up with the phrase "planetary merry-go-round" and I really liked the internal rhyme. After that, I had to find some way to incorporate that phrase into the lyrics. That was the slow bit. For me, it is often the case that when I go to sleep thinking about a lyric, I awaken the next day with some thoughts in my mind. That's what happened here. The metaphor "miracles' playground" was in my head one morning when I woke up. It turned out to be the glue needed to link "creation's gift" with "planetary merry-go-round".

That's so much for taking the time to write so many of your thoughts. You made my day smile

It must be starting to look a little bit like spring in Finland right now. I hope the air is getting a bit warmer for you.
