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 :)

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!

Thanks a lot Paul, that is very much appreciated :)

Your production values are so much better, and I have to say I enjoyed the structure of your song just fine. I gave it another listen and it's a really excellent track!
Maybe we need to set up an exchange - you produce my track and I do the minimum of (re)arrangements on yours :)

Thanks for listening my friend!

Thanks a lot buddy!! BTW This one also has a video now (**DANGER DANGER NOT VERY SUBTLE PLUG** ;) )

Thanks so much for listening, really appreciated :) Especially when a track is a bit older you start getting these doubts... was that really worth it? Was that any good? So it's extra nice if somebody likes you takes that trouble and says "hey I liked this one!"

Thanks a lot Majid, much appreciated :) I hope you can hear the joy I had making it (and a bit of the pain in the lyrics)

Thanks a lot man! Still needs some work but this is one of those tracks I got really enthousiastic about when playing and then I just have to show it to people... so thanks for listening :)
