Very nice job with the band on this! That guitar part during intro and between verses is a super choice! The melody, especially during the chorus, is wonderful! Definitely a "summer like" vibe! Thanks, Torrey
Thanks Torrey for your very warming words  Nice to hear another positive comment on the melody of the chorus. Janne

Great band. The solos and fills are excellent.
Nice cover art too...the various fungi are showing off
all through our surrounding forest.
That melody is exceptional.
Well done and we enjoyed it!
J&B Thanks J&B for your positive words Glad to hear you enjoyed the melody and solo parts. Those fungi looked very beautiful and still gave autumn mood so I had to take a picture, I don't know whether they are edible. Janne

The Janne signature sound is always within the arrangement.
Nice work - tides ebb, relationships too.
We're coming toward summer on the opposite side of the planet.
"idyll isle" - now that's marketing. Thanks Ray for your kind comment I hope your coming summer will be very warm, but not too hot Janne

Many others have already commented on your melody, Janne. Yes, that is the part the really grabs you in this song. It rolls up and down in a very entertaining way. Good band and production, too. Your lyrics are top-notch, man. They tell a story of what once was and the hope that it will be again. Thanks Marty, I appreciate your kind and heartwarming words I'm very happy you liked the lyrics as well. Janne

Good choice of instruments, especially like the guitar solo.
Good work, Janne. Thanks Dave for your kind feedback Glad you liked the guitar solo, although I'm sure you would have played even better solo Janne

Hi Janne,
Good work on this tune. Catchy choruses and very nice solo. Clear mix > listens well.
Liked that phrasing:
"If you arrive my love
I surrender to your throne
if not I'm buried underneath a stone."
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
Thanks Misha for your nice words Glad to hear you liked those ending lines - giving some hope in otherwise sorrowful ending. Janne

Great pop rock sound, Janne, espescially that chorus. Not lyrically interesting? I beg to differ.
Regards,
Leon
Thanks Leon for listen and kind comment I often feel that I'm writing senseless things when writing in English, so I'm really happy that you found my song lyrically interesting. Janne

Thanks fj, I appreciate your valuable feedback thanks for mentioning the bass sound, BIAB basses usually lose something when I mix them so I'm glad that I succeeded this time at least (although I thought it was mixed bit too loud). Janne

Janne this excellent! I agree with the others about the vocal, i.e. outstanding. Love that B3 in the background as well as those guitar leads. The other backing tracks support them perfectly. A great mix also.
Two thumbs up.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

I see I missed this. My schedule makes it hard to keep up with the forum.
You have a knack for creating interesting instrumentation on your songs.
As already mention, nice melody on the chorus---as it should be.
Yes, lyrics are full of summer imagery.

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."
