Description : Hi buddies ! This track is a wink to Mike(MStokes) whose "burn, burn, burn" words have sort of become a motto for me .
This is emo-like . I put a lot of heart and work in it . I wanted to make a hymn about the power of love and hope .
"The only strength, the only value, the only dignity amongst every other one, is to be loved" . Charles Péguy .

I love you babe, and love you all so much too !

Speaking of Michael, where has he been?

I like the separate vocal tracks and how they are set in the mix. This rocks, reminds me a bit of Garbage(the band,lol). Well done putting this together. Always a pleasure!

Dunno but I do hope he's having a great time . We all need to take off sometimes, I guess .
Wow ! Another very flattering comparison which goes straight to my heart ! Next time I'll have a try on a Cradle of Filth song, lol . Thx a lot for your real nice words, Wayne ! Always a pleasure for me to read encouraging words :)

Love the bass line and lead guitar work...although I would have liked the lead guitar saved for the chorus and a more muted one in between your verses...agree the sort of honky tonk keys are a bit out of place with the overall "mood"...but most of all your vocals are just so adaptable and strong...no pun intended...great to hear you again!

janis71 replied 21st Jan 2014 - 12 years ago
Yeah, you're surely right 'bout the guitars ( thx for the piece of advice ) and the honky tonk keyboard, Sir (though I like them there) .
I'm grateful to you for your interesting and warm comment,
Merci beaucoup !
Cheers

As always...you have done a superb piece of musical art Carole....I like Michael`s "burn...burn....burn" reference...for many years I have adopted the theme from an old song by John Kay...."Feed the fire".......The world could use many more people to face each other in peace..and state the cause for love.......Ed

Hey!

This is great stuff. My favorite part is between 1:07 - 1:15 and 3:19 - 3:27. I'm weak for expressions like that.

I Also notice your time spent on puting together variations in the arrangement which makes a huge difference in this song comparing to if they would been left out.

I think you do it well and this is an execlent song that makes me think of the group Garbage in the 90's. Anyway, great job

Cheers, Anders.

Wow ! Thx for the comparison, Sir ! It makes me real happy .
Merci beaucoup for your warm and supportive comment ;)

God you're good - born 30 years too late - Peter Albin would have loved you. If you know the reference then you're an old soul.

Aw, Peter Albin ! ... Yeah, I wish I was born earlier indeed!
As a Janis-maniac, I really do appreciate you mention him and the incomparable Big Brothers !
Thanx a lot for your lovely comment, Clindsay :D
My old soul smiled at it .
Happy New Year,
Take care

Hi Carole,
So good to see a new song from you.
And what a song! I loved it!
Emo you say? well I am an old fashioned rocker, so to me this music says more "dark" (I can hear some early cure echoes, some new-order or siouxsie twists) ... but anyhow, great music for sure.
I love the way it starts: dry drum, good bass riff and then the first guitar note is simply a perfect introduction to your voice...
Your voice which (I agree to Bear) really comes close to the Lennox of the Eurythmics times (specially the very first verse). Wow! Goose bumps!
1:35 ... wonderful! the guitar solo and your voice's melody work perfectly together! and immediately after we have some short "shout&scream;" verses, which bring back the "post-punk" feeling. Totally loved!
The only think I would change is the "keyboard" solo at 2:35 (not bad, but not on par with the rest of the music).

Thanks again for this wonderful song!
I wish you a pleasant Christmas time!
Un abbraccio, Domenico

Hello Domenico ! How is my sweet friend ? 'Hope you started this new year with much joy and happiness .
I thank you very much for your detailed and instructive comment and the time you devoted to this little thingy !
I'm real happy you enjoyed it and you're right about the melotron solo ( sounds anachronistic but I found it funny ).

I wish you and your loved ones all the best for 2014 .
Take good care,
Un abbraccio in return
xoxo

Well hello young lady, it has been a while since I visited for a cup of coffee and a listen. A little like Annie Lennox in spots (and that's a great thing).

You never cease to amaze me. You literally could sing anything, any genre, and make it a hit record.

I loved everything about this one. Put a big smile on my face. And your vocal range is breathtaking.

I hope all is well and wish you and your family a very happy holiday season.

Hey C. How's it going? Just thought i'd check this track out as i've not been around for a while. Really dig the layering of the vocals in this track. You've done a marvellous job here. Lots of energy and right on point.
This has been a pleasure to listen to.

Love the guitar play in it and the vocals ;) But I am missing a more rough electric guitar throughout the song but since this is rock it's not really required. Would then more take the genre of hard rock or metal

Yeah, I wanted to keep it rock but you're right, it could have been harder .

Strong vocal and instrumentation. Gives a good vibe even if emo like. I like how you bring the topics to interesting views. Really like the guitar pieces in here. You play? Thanks for the joy you have given here. Peace.

janis71 replied 17th Dec 2013 - 12 years ago
Erm, no, I play the guitar a little but not well enough to make you hear it, haha .
Joy is precisely what I intended to convey and I'm happy you felt it, Dave . You always understand my thingies so well and I'm very grateful to you for that, my friend .
Thanx a lot for your gentle and encouraging words .
Do take care,
Kisses

You never know what to expect but in this case he delivered with this emotional and wonderful vocal performance. Thanks and much respect to him. LM wouldn't let me insert his U-Tube or Spotify links but I'm sure if you seek you will find.
