Janne, this is very unusual but also very good. Your lyrics are excellent and was the mix. Your vocal was very strong. Excellent use of RTs. This is definitely movie ready.
I liked this one!
Thanks Mario for your very positive feedback  "Very unusual" - that's a nice compliment Hmmm just wondering in what kind of a movie this song could be used… Janne

Janne
An ambitious composition, with a lush interesting sound. One of your best I think.
A very impressive work.
Peter Thanks Peter for your kind feedback I'm glad that also you think it's one of my best. Janne

Very interesting and as Misha said, unusual piece! I think you did an excellent job with this and the vocals were done very nicely! The chorus in this is really good as far as I'm concerned! The outro on this was really impressive! Thanks, Torrey Thanks Torrey, your kind words are really important to me I especially like "unusual", "excellent" and "impressive"  Janne

No pain here. Your lyrics really stand out. Such vivid imagery! Although the song is unusual, it is interesting. I like the amalgamation of sound/instrumentation you created. Thanks for your kind words I'm glad that you appreciate my lyrics, because it means that the message and imagery were not lost in translation. Janne

"the cantor plays the final chord, it's wafting from the loft Cupid's last arrow has missed once too oft" Wow! that is very strong. Epic in sound...very engaging in a cinematic way. The write is obviously very emotive and the two of us feel the heartfelt vocal delivers it very well (regardless of how you feel about your vocal ) Good band and mix also! J&B

Outstanding production. "Enjoy" is not a word easily used for a piece with such a theme, but it was very engaging and well-wrought. Thanks Tangmo for your positive feedback Glad you "enjoyed" the funeral mood (I almost wrote fun-real;) Janne

The only painful thing I had with your song was the churchbell in the beginning. I had the volume too high, it appears...
You had a couple of nice things in this sweet song with that sad melody: the churchbells (now meant in a possitive way), your voice suddenly going 'under the floor' in the beginning (I think on purpose), the sound of a flooding chuch. Things like that. And than the lyrics! I admire the way you can write abouth the last hours of that chuch. So sensitive.
But the most remarkable part in your song where your vocals. You say they hurt ones ears. In the start of the song (after the bells) when you begin to sing, it sounded a bit unstable, but very good. And that feeling became stronger during the song. Your voice touches an invisible snare of emotion (at least with me). I like that effect your voice has.
Bye,
Hans Thanks Hans for your very nice analysis I tried to make the churchbell sound loud to make people feel like they were in a real church, sorry that it was too loud for your equipment, I hope it didn't break anything or your ears  The "floor" vocal was not on purpose but it was a lucky accident which I liked and didn't want to fix. I'm glad also you find it nice I'm also very happy that you found my lyrics sensitive. Thanks for your encouraging words about my vocals, "invisible snare of emotion" - that was really nicely said Janne

Good track, Janne, production wise and lyrically lots of interesting things going on. Vocally my favorite part was the choir, very effective.
Enjoyed! Thanks Dave for your listen and positive words Glad you liked the choir, it really gives a nice medieval feeling. Janne

Some salutary well written lyrics; my favourite lines:
I can hear a coin to fall
when it hits the empty alms bag
that's left of my accomplishments
ouch! No sugar coating as the last nail goes in that coffin.
The vocals are clear ; I think your accented English adds mystery to the tale.
Cool choir and effects at the end.
Robert Thanks Robert for your kind comment I'm glad you found those nice lines to quote. Janne

There's one spot in the vocal that you could address for me: at the end of the 2nd line you sing "floor" and the fretless sounding bass picks that note up as youi hold it and slides down, (to the floor), with it - seems like your voice was caught and dragged with it by Melodyne - if you ended the note sooner it wouldn't seem connected with the bass.
Apart from that you have a courageous performance of a very interesting narrative to a nice backing.
Cool. Thanks Ray for your kind feedback Interesting observation, although I like the morphing effect from voice to bass, maybe I should try that more often Janne

This is one of my favorite songs of yours Janne. What a cool intro. This sounds so good on the headphones. I get a Pink Floyd vibe on this. Well done

Well done Thanks Scott for your positive words Very nice to hear the Pink Floyd reference, again, I had this evaluated in a song contest and they wrote "The song has a Pink-Floyd kind of familiarity" Janne

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."
