Dani, hauntingly beautiful! The chord changes are really interesting. The dissonance meshes with the struggle of someone trying to get back to the guy he once was. Like your instrument choices, and the lead vocal and harmony vocal sound very cool together. Love the photo of you and your dearest! FWIW, in contemporary American English, "dame" is rarely used, and then never as a term on endearment. But I know exactly what you meant by the context. Context is everything. Thanks for sharing! Hope the two of you have a wonderful Christmas! Ron

Dani, I agree with Floyd as I also think this is one of your best. Super vocal and great lyrics. One great mix! I think this is top shelf material.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year.

Hi, Dani. A very laid back tune - I like it! And as fj says - smooth vocals! I hope you don't mind my comments on the lyrics - no insult is intended! I'm certainly not brave enough to write in anything other than my native language! Whenever you are close to me you fill me up with lust to be"Lust" isn't a word one usually finds in a mellow love song. This make me laugh, because there are usually all sorts of euphemisms that are used instead. I fell in love with you, yes I did the moment that I opened my lidI'm not sure what sort of things have "lids" in Finland, but around here the only sorts of lids that open are on jars and toilets. Again, it made me smile when I heard that line! Merry Christmas!

Dig those changes, and your vocal always demands attention and respect. Beautiful feelings of a full-grown love, and you guys look great in the photo, too. My guess is she thinks you are now far better than "that guy' you once was, and it sounds like she was a big part of the improvement. Merry Christmas, Dani.

My dear David, how could I be offended by my own mistakes ? No, I thank you for correcting me on my lyrics , there is however something we up here call writer´s freedom which means that the writer has some liberties as how to express himself !
According to certain wells "lust" could be used in the meaning of "desire" which was what I aimed for here The "lid" I was referring to is of course "eyelids"
I beg your pardon for my obvious mistakes but then again how far can I go when it comes to using the writer´s freedom ?
I hope for a most Merry Juletide and Happy New Year for you and your nearest !😍
Cheers Dani

Dani, you really sang this well. You can feel your heart being connected to the melody and lyrics. Once again you have surprised me with your choice of chord changes and it keeps me engaged to see what is coming next. The amazing thing is that you always manage to resolve them in a very pleasing manner. I believe that some of your choices are Jazz influenced and to hear them in a Pop format make them unique. You are very talented. Happiest of New Years to you and your love, Tom

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
