Hey Laurent, Thanks for that. To tell you the truth; every time (even accidentally) the song starts to play, I feel the same as you said.
I didn't make this video, but it is indeed very nice! I'll tell the lady who made it!

Hi Chay, I wanted to make a song with a heavy beat and bass, because of what I've been through. And with the help of BiaB (and a little imagination from me), it worked out! Thanks!

Your voice sounds great. Even after throat surgery your voice is much better than mine.
Great arrangement, instrumentation, and mix.
I really liked this one.

Hello Mario, I think my voice was already better than yours even before the surgery... That is to say, that is your own opinion about your singing! I think it is better than you think. I was just proud that I managed to get you to sing once or twice (I begged you for months). Maybe a 3rd time?

Hi Rob, thanks a lot! But do I use the same chord progression for all my recent songs? I didn't know that. To be honest, I don't think so myself. I often use the same key for a song because my vocals fit well with it (D or F). And my songs have a similar structure: an intro, 2 verses, chorus, verses, chorus, solo, verse or bridge, sometimes a transposition for the last 2 choruses. Not everything is like that, but think of it as a structure I like to use.
But you see that in many other songs too. Only modern songs do it differently, for example by having their verses transition into a chorus.

Hello Arri, thanks for your compliments! But regarding the lack of clarity you mentioned, you have told me that before (about another track of mine). I asked you back then where you heard that "muddyness" in that track. But perhaps you didn't read that. I ask you to do the same for this track. It might be my ears, but I haven't heard any "muddyness" (yet). Could you indicate this?

Thanks everyone and have a nice day,
Hans
