Fred, liked your song alot. There are some lyrical gems in there, like "count your coins"..great work there. The tone seems to be very introspective and IMO asks for a gentle, subtle mix. The pad seems to my ears to be too pronounced...I'd have softened it to compliment the sentiment of the song...I'd have used some soft strings.. Excellent composition and great delivery. Thanks for posting.

Really liked this! Great job with the "band"--loved the choice of RT's! Vocal perfect, as usual. Esp liked the chord structure for the chorus--really ear-catching! And the drum fill was excellent! Made me smile and "dance" in my office chair. Thanks for posting!

Hi, Laurent. Pleasant song, excellent guitar work. Since you're writing in English for an English audience, it's important to pay attention word stress. A tool like the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary will show you word stress if you select the "Show Lexical Stress" option. Even easier, you can ask an AI to do this for you. After many attempts to refine the prompt, I eventually got this: Reformat the given lyrics to display stress using only plain text. Display the lyrics preserving the exact number of words per line and using an extra blank line (double line break) after every line of lyrics. Apply the following five formatting rules strictly and universally to all words in the lyrics provided: 1. Syllabification and Case: All words must be broken down into their standard English syllables and written entirely in lower-case except for the primary stressed syllable, which is in upper-case. Hyphenate between all syllables for multi-syllable words. 2. Primary Stress Emphasis (Mandatory Full Upper Case): The entire syllable carrying the primary stress, based on standard English pronunciation and the Strict Root Stress Rule, must be set ENTIRELY IN UPPER CASE. This stress marking is mandatory: Every multi-syllable word (i.e., every hyphenated word) must show exactly one syllable fully capitalized to clearly display its primary stress. 3. Strict Root Stress Rule: For any multi-syllable word, the primary stress must always fall on the root or base syllable, regardless of common suffixes or simple structure. This principle is mandatory and must be reflected by the UPPER CASE marking (e.g., BET-ter, FUR-ther, LIT-tle, ELD-ers, PRAY-er, be-COME). 4. Single-Syllable Words (No Stress, No Hyphenation): Any word that consists of only one syllable must be written entirely in lower case and must not be hyphenated, as it cannot be stressed relative to another syllable (e.g., i, am, the, we, a). 5. Line Break Preservation: To ensure that the line structure is preserved when copied and pasted, include an extra blank line (i.e., a double line break) after every line of lyrics. Original Lyrics to Apply Rules To: Further, higher. I feel better. Further, higher. I am stronger, faster, longer. I'm a rider, warmer, brighter. I'm a dreamer. I say a little prayer that we become better. Sister, brother, live in harmony together. I say a little prayer. Forgive me my elders. Mother, father, I didn't know to love others. More beautiful, stronger. I want to be better. Start all over again to leave. Take a new train. I wish I were immortal. A journey to see eternal forever beyond how charms they come. Never tire. I wish I were immortal. A journey to see no forever beyond a chance they come never. I wish I were immortal. A journey the soul. Forever be young. Have charms they come. Never tire. And this is what I got back: FUR-ther, HI-gher. i feel BET-ter. FUR-ther, HI-gher. i am STRONG-er, FAST-er, LONG-er. i'm a RI-der, WARM-er, BRIGH-ter. i'm a DREAM-er. i say a LIT-tle PRAY-er that we be-COME BET-ter. SIS-ter, BROTH-er, live in HAR-mo-ny to-GETH-er. i say a LIT-tle PRAY-er. for-GIVE me my ELD-ers. MOTH-er, FATH-er, i DID-n't know to love OTH-ers. more BEAU-ti-ful, STRONG-er. i want to be BET-ter. start all O-ver a-GAIN to leave. take a new train. i wish i were im-MORT-al. a JOUR-ney to see e-TERN-al for-EVer be-YOND how charms they come. NEV-er tire. i wish i were im-MORT-al. a JOUR-ney to see no for-EVer be-YOND a chance they come NEV-er. i wish i were im-MORT-al. a JOUR-ney the soul. for-EVer be young. have charms they come. NEV-er tire. Here are some places I noticed the emphasis doesn't fall on the strong beat, so it sounds wrong: "Further, higher, I am STRONGer" "Faster, longer, I'm a RIDer" "Live in HARmony toGEther" "ForGIVE me my ELders" "I wish I were imMORtal" Changing the duration of the note preceding the emphasized syllable so the accent falls on the downbeat will correct the problem. Following this rule of placing accents on downbeats will make your songs sound much better to English speakers.

Hi, Janne. The 'verby mix really fits with the theme. Good lyrics as well. Natalie is a good fit. Her vocal style definitely changed with the 2.0 update. NOA Hex has been on my "maybe buy" for some time now. SynthV can't whistle, but you can export the melody as MIDI and then have it played by another instrument in a DAW. AI is a useful tool when you're looking to explore ideas, and I thought you handled "Is eternity a comfort or a curse?" as well as one can in a short song. Nice work!

Hi, Ron. Cool stereo image - I love the depth of the mix. Apology not accepted - sad and angry songs are great. To quote Warren Zevon: Cause 'I'd rather feel bad than feel nothing at all."  Great pop - you always have awesome songs.

I don't think the lyrics are trite. I especially liked your opening lines: "I always wanted to be your safe full of treasures/But you never tried to learn my combination." Sweetly put. Peter's guitar blends in with the gentleness of the song. A+ vocal performance! Thanks for mentioning the lyric…Bud said the needed that. We’re glad you liked it and the comments are much appreciated. J&B

Wow cool rocker Floyd. Had my speakers pumping. Loved the vocal processing on this . Guitar was excellent. Really cool feel to the song. Well done.. Thanks, Scott... appreciated... floyd, It's a smooth, upbeat rock song. And great love song! As always, I'm impressed by your vocals and instrumental playing. You said you didn't use Autotune, but am I the only one who thinks that you don't need it with your vocal ability? Enjoyed my listen a lot. Best regards.

Dave, excellent dive into the blues! You solo-ing sounds great, as usual, as well as Marty's bass and Chris' vocal. I'll have to bookmark this one for when I'm feeling really down and need to be lifted up! I really liked that organ RT--never used it, but will have to check it out for a future project. Yes, lots of great blues B3 Realtracks. Happy you liked this one Dave, Chris, and Marty, I love the blues and you three knocked them out of the park with this one. Chris, outstanding vocal Marty, the perfect bass lines Dave, some of the best blues licks that I have ever heard. All of this in a package that sounds like it was recorded in a professional studio. If I had heard this song in a record store I would have purchased it right then and there. Loved it. Thanks, Mario!
