I just listened to the new song and watched the video,

and the lyrical concept behind the three wishes is incredibly thought-provoking.
That final "or..." twist really makes the listener stop and think.
As for the music video, you should be incredibly proud of yourself.
DaVinci Resolve has a massive learning curve,
and mastering the Ken Burns technique for the first time is no small feat.
The subtle panning and zooming create a beautiful,
cinematic flow that complements the emotional depth of the track perfectly.
For your very first attempt, the execution is fantastic—do not underestimate your work!
It is wonderful to have you back making music.
Keep up the amazing work!

Hi Andi! It’s so nice to hear from you again. It’s been a long time!
Yes, health problems can be very annoying sometimes, but as long as you can overcome them, you’re a lucky person.

It’s funny how I came across that Kent Burns technique. Chat GTP told me about it! I needed some photos with the same type of character. I could 'bring some to life' in another program called Pollo. And Chat wanted to make a storybook for me so I could make a video within 3 months. But I didn't want to take 3 months, 3 weeks at most! Then Chat wanted me to open her eyes after the first wish. I said 'no', we only move a finger at the end. That is hope. Chat became lyrical with enthusiasm about that. I’ve never experienced that with this program. But apparently, they can give him a 'personality' so you can talk to him almost like a human. Did you know he could 'listen' to my song and 'watch' the video? And give good commentary too!

Well, it's way too long a story to actually tell you that I'm happy with your compliments! Greetings to Wolle!
Hans
