Big production, sounds almost theatrical, like a from a Broadway musical. Interesting chord changes, and melody. Jun sounds fantastic, very natural.

Janne,

I can deeply feel the harshness of winter in Finland in this tune.
The slightly folk-like minor melody is perfect for these lyrics.
The selection of Synth V is also very appropriate.
Your skill in using Synth V is really great.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Maybe I should have kept it.

Vic

Thanks Vic for your positive review smile Yes, that dizi flute is a great one, with right combination of chords and regeneration it will give amazing results. Maybe in your next song?

The dreary, seemingly endless winter just lends itself to these kinds of darker lyrics! But that's ok because so many can relate!
The synth vocals are really good as is the guitar solo stuff later in the song!
Very fine work!

Thanks, TB

Thanks Torrey, I appreciate your supportive and positive feedback smile I agree, that flute is amazing and the guitar solo as well, BIAB just gets better every year.

Thanks David for your appreciative comment smile Glad you found my write poetic, although I'm far away behind your poetic talent smile Very well said about mournful performance in the endless snow, I'm glad that I used Jun.

Very lovely song Janne!
Love the flute sounds, but the melody especially in the chorus is the real star here. The transition to the chorus is really Pink Floyd like! Great song! TB

Effective imagery in the opening lyric.
I love that flute. It adds a pleasing dimension to the song. And what your did with that soloist track is perfect! So awesome.
The synth voice sounds real.

Thanks Marty for your very kind words, especially concerning the lyrics smile Well, it seems that Spring will be very short this year and I won't have enough time to get inspired by its presence, the forecast tells it's going to snow 10cm tonight just when the old snow had been slightly been melted... But because Winter is still here, it has inspired me to start writing another song, it is going to be called The Heat Is Not On laugh

The lyric is excellent and thoughtful, Janne. J

anice and her sister recently discussed the impact of increased development in the North Carolina mountain community where her sister lives. Also, like you, her sister is more than ready for springtime to appear!

Jun does sound remarkably like you and delivers the mournful feel very well.
Like others we thought the flute was a great choice and that solo guitar really did the job.

Now we feel almost guilty for enjoying our new spring blooms here.

Hi Janne,

Sorry to be so late to the party.

Yes, that synth vocal does sound very similar to your voice, both in tone and phrasing.

Loved the flute! Guitar is great also, nice fit.

Good song!

Thanks Scott for your positive review smile I was going to say I'm glad, but actually I'm sorry that you can relate with the lyrics, enduring winters is such a hard work. But at least it is a continuous source of inspiration for music wink

A good song about that nasty winter. I read RnAM told you here it is spring.
Well... I know where they live and I can tell you, there is no spring at all.
Sometimes a watery sun,, but spring...?

Back to your song: a lot of nice instruents you useed and especially the flute is wonderful.
It felt as if I was in the woods, walking through that snow, but still enjoying myself.
That's because I had my headphones with your song. Gave me a peacefull feeling, eventhough the weather is bad...
So, very well done. And I must not forget to mention the bg-vocals. They are very good!

Hans

Thanks Hans for your nice review, always pleasure to read your interesting thoughts smile Glad to hear that my song gave you a peaceful feeling, although it was so dark and without hope. It is interesting that winter is quite different in different countries, you probably don't have an idea how cold and snowy it can be here... and based on the news there is a chaos in traffic after a tiny snowfall in southern countries (here it is just normal routine). Unfortunately, this climate change has caused one thing I really hate, walking paths are icy through whole winter, because of continuous melting and freezing. In my childhood, there was just snow...

Thanks Elliot for your heartwarming comment smile I didn't have a Broadway musical in my mind, but I like the concept, maybe I should write one now that several Synth V vocalists sound quite theatrical.

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."
