I fully agree, John.

Hi BD.
Your title brought to mind a line from Roger Miller's song "The Code Of The West: do unto others before they can do it to you."
I couldn't find my pass to get through the Google gate but
I assume it's a f.....g good song as you're known to be handy with that sort of thing.

Yeah, you're right, here in Europeland, we're a bit more relaxed about swear words.
Banning a word has never worked anyway.

B.D,

That's an incredible hard rock song.
It's also full of protest spirit.
From gentle love songs to hard protest songs, I'm amazed by the richness of your talent.
And it's definitely a song that requires parental advice.
As always, the video was fantastic.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Best regards.

Nice bit of modern, high gain rock in the very popular genre of symphpopmetal with femme vox.
The narrative - yes, indeed.
The music - fits the genre really well but I'm not a fan of that guitar tone personally.

If this Forum was placed in my country, or yours, the watchdog would have added some more f**k words, I think.

I also told you how great the song is! And the vocals, wow! Also the lyrics and video are great too. I really enjoyed it all.
But I wouldn't make it, myself. My voice is too low and it's a bit too wild for me.
Well..., in about a month or so I will release a House song. Than maybe we can compete about wildness ;-)

Hans
Thank you so much for your kind words and for your support here and on YouTube, Hans.
MUCH appreciated [Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]

I don't really do "wild" things just for the sake of being wild.
I have emotions, and I try to express them using the same words I would use if I were talking to you in real life.
The lyrics of this song reflect (more or less) what my wife and I talk about after we’ve heard the morning news.
Including the swear words.
Minus the rhymes, though smile

We're late to the party but we've read all the comments and, for us, DC nailed it.
Regarding the narrative it needs to be said in whatever way grasps attention.
And it was very well stated.

All of the tracks and the great mix yielded a stadium filling sound.
It setup a standout soundstage on our monitors.
Simply EPIC! And really driven home with the video. Wow.

Kudos and a helluva great production!

You've managed to get the maximum amount of anger out of the vocalist. And together with the tight guitar band and great selection of BIAB instruments, this grows into the epic Praise Worship Uptempo song as the style describes. The dynamics is once again admirable, both in the arrangement and the vocal work. I sign your message, why is it more ok to bomb children, but not to say f***, expressing as loudly as possible the desperation of fighting against real problems that they want to sweep under the rag...

Glad I joined YouTube more than 18 years ago, so I didn't have to prove my age wink I really enjoyed the suffering so mission complete laugh

Janne
Thanks a lot for your kind and, as always, detailed feedback, Janne.
I really appreciate it smile
And you're right, the goal was to express maximum anger with as few words as possible.

By the way, I'm surprised that YouTube computes your age thus losing the opportunity to verify your ID laugh

The music is amazing. Not only do you have a sublime melody, but your arrangement and video are also extraordinarily good.

By every measure, this is super-polished and superbly engaging.

"This is one of the most lyrically powerful songs that I've ever heard."
Since writing lyrics is the most important thing I want to improve, that really made my day, Noel.
Thanks a LOT smile

BTW, to all the guys'n'girls who still read my replies and couldn't watch the video because of the age restriction:
The song is now available on Spotify (sorry, no SoundCloud link - SoundCloud refuses to publish it because of the album cover)
Just click the Spotify link in my signature to find it.

(I had to switch distributors to get it published, but that’s another long story that I’ll tell sometime in the future.)

Hi, B.D.

Well. I'm only two months late to this f***ing party, but I'm glad I got on before the train was gone for good.

Excellent production all around - especially the vocal performance.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thank you for your nice feedback.
The vocal performance took up almost half of the mixing time, with tons of automation and stuff, but I also think all the effort was worth it.
It’s helps to have a motorized fader...
