Zest For Life A simple country pop song with a joyful story about finding a long-lost zest for life. Thanks to Miira for her gentle interpretation. RealDrums: TeenBeatUptempo RealTracks: #684 Electric bass #405, #1119, #1681 Acoustic guitar #1684, #1718 Electric guitar #2201 Nylon guitar Vocals: MiiraMixed in Adobe Audition 2017 Lyrics: Where have you been for all these years didn't see you on the ski slope didn't hear your happy cheers. I searched through my memories from the fairgrounds to the football fields I flipped through my photo albums was there flame behind your shields? I lived a steady life where nothing hurt comfort hushed the luring sounds but I am ready now to let zest give many ups and downs (zest gives many ups and downs x 2) Where have you been since you settled in fear did you try to live a void life without a single tear? I hired a private eye he studied many flimsy clues the only good trace he found was one vague pathetic excuse. [Chorus] didn't know how to advance didn't see the sparkle at first glance but just by a happy chance I've run into someone I've been. What have you done since you started to wane have you met with any dangers have you tasted real pain? You told you walked in the shades from depression to a hazy peak you said you traversed the jungles to catch fool's gold in a creek. [Chorus] I removed your burden of past I cut your shackles of doubt at last freed the true enthusiast welcome back here the zest of my life. [Chorus] ------- Janne

Hi Janne, Melodic, and hey... relatively simple, considering your usual songwriting  We especially like the chorus. Nice work. Rob and Anne-Marie

Janne,
As I said on Soundcloud, this is such a great groove and it fits the title perfectly! You've done a terrific job composing this one and putting it together. As always, Miira's singing is wonderful to listen to.
Have you ever thought about submitting a song in Finnish to the forum? I'd love to hear something written and performed in your home language.
All the best,
Noel

Very cool song.
Excellent vocal as usual and excellent composition as usual.
Very solid real tracks that give a lot of unity to the base.

I really dig your use of the RealTracks in this particular song! Keep up the great work. Thanks Ember for your comment BIAB has so many possibilities, I used some realstyle as a base, but noticed that the song needed more acoustic guitars. Also I wanted to change the drums to a softer one. There are plenty of good acoustic guitars, but finding a suitable RealDrum was much more difficult in this case. Janne

Hello, Janne
Very nice tune!
Simple and natural, but very good melody.
The chord progression is also very simple, considering your usual works.
Mira's vocal is just fitted to this song.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi
