Muchas gracias amigo!

Thanks a lot man, that means a lot. I fixed a couple more things, extended the section after the bridge (which is probably the funkiest part) and added some subtle horns at the end. So far it also seems to be a winner on youtube - I rarely get 20 views the first day :D

See if you like the final version: https://youtu.be/hCoeOg1lVk4

That was a great comment Ruslan. I applied it and I think it's much stronger now!

Yeah I abandoned this one a bit early but it's a much more serious song and actually I really like it, so I should give it a bit of a touch up :)

Thanks a lot buddy!

I've kept working on it for the youtube version and now that I've played it live a couple times I would probably do it again slightly differently... we learn a little every day :)

I'm totally up for doing something again Paul, hit me up if you have an idea!

Thanks for getting it my friend :)

Ik doe mn best op youtube, deze zie je ook binnenkort ;)

Hahaha ja ik ben al een tijdje weg uit NL en kijk ook niet zo veel TV, maar ik had wel het gevoel dat zowel de Avro als Toppop niet meer bestonden... ik ben verbaasd dat Ad Visser nog leeft ;)
Doet MTV nog muziek? Ik dacht dat die voornamelijk MTV Cribs en Jersey Shore deden :D
Anyway, nee, TV gaat het niet worden, maar als ik nou wereldberoemd op Looperman ben... dan is dat ook mooi ;)

Wow, great words Ian! I need to polish it up a bit (theSINGLOT below had a great point) but yeah... it's slowly getting better. Thanks also to you and so many other fantastic people here. Looperman RULEZ!!

Dank je wel Rita! Ja ik ben een enorme bofkont dat ik de mogelijkheid heb en dat het er dan (na een paar jaar oefenen ;) ook uitkomt. Ik merk ook echt dat ik drum en zang en productie lessen heb gehad, ik voel dat ik elke dag een beetje groei :)

Hou je vast, op mn 60e kom ik nog in Avro's toppop ;)

Cheers Paul, that's much appreciated, glad you liked it! It still needs some improvements, but I'm making progress with every track now I feel :)

That's awesome! Great observation, great change. I'll apply that.
Thank you so much, and I subscribed back :)

Thanks a lot Michael :)

That's great man, thanks to hear that! Go to bed/hope you have a great day :)

Being compared to Jeff Beck is huge of course, but making you smile is even better!

First of all, if you would actually want to sing this, that would be a huge honour and I'd be delighted. I'd love to see/hear that too :)

Yeah I can hear how this would sound with a gospel choir and man, that would totally be awesome. Maybe I can in fact add some more layering to the chorus. I was already thinking to add some brass, but my poor laptop was already struggling with just the tracks this has, so I'll need to use some trickery for that. First I need to improve the vocals a bit more.

And yes I've listened well to you and others who gave advice about lyrics/phrasing (hi Ruben). It takes time for information to sink into my thick skull, but in the end I do listen :)

THANKS buddy!

Thanks so much Majid. I appreciate the kind words and it's good to have a fan :)
I feel I've been on a roll since the EP. I want to collect tracks for a longer album and I already have more than I need, so that's a good feeling I have to say :)

Well, by Russian standards this hardly counts as snow, but by Athens standards, this is quite a lot ;)

Thank you :)

Haha toppert. Dank je wel :)
Dr komt nog meer aan, dus stay tuned!

Thanks so much Mark, a compliment from the master means a lot :)

Dude, I'm floored by that. Thank you so much for that, that truly means a lot. That brought a little tear to my eye (more than one, to be honest).

Thank you so much. IF you like the looperman version, maybe you also want to check this one: https://youtu.be/ukBUDm18JAw

Wow. I need a walk, that was huge. I have to stop reading your comment or I'll really burst into tears. Thanks man (person (banana)).

Thanks Mykael! We know each other's taste and that makes a comment like that extra wonderful.

I'm not sure I could actually do it, but I'd love to try to write something for you to record. Drop me a DM if you would consider that (and no worries if you have your own sources).

Thanks a lot Wayne and glad to have you back. Hope life doesn't overload you too much!

Hey buddy of course Manuela is sincere, nobody is thinking otherwise! I live her very much and she is always incredibly helpful. I really really appreciate every comment she makes and I totally appreciate every critical comment. Those are the best comments, and I wish everyone would do that!

They don't even have to be nice, but Manu always manages to do it in a respectful way. She has years of experience and a wealth of knowledge and it's totally amazing and great she shares some of that here. Couldn't be better.

Also, don't hesitate to give me similar advice. I'm very sorry if I gave the impression I didn't like it - the opposite is true. 1 comment saying "ooh, this is a bit XYZ" is 100 times more helpful than 100 comments saying "yeah great" (although of course I also like those ;) )

Again, I love what Manu said, but I felt I knew her well enough to also make a little joke :) my apologies if that wasn't clear to you :)

All good my man! Thanks for listening and commenting, even commenting that the reply wasn't clear is a useful comment, so thanks for that!
