Thanks so much!
The song sort of completed what I wanted to do with the album, which should be on streaming next week and now already on bandcamp!

Eyxaristw poly Fani! (I lived in Athens for a couple years and I've been quite a few times to lovely Chalkida!) ((My new song "Stenia" is actually for his daughter))

The song went on the album, which should be on streaming next week and now already on bandcamp!

Wow, what great compliments, thank you so much!! I would of course LOVE to play it with an orchestra, but I don't have one at home ;) Maybe I'll make a version with accoustic guitar though.

I have no idea of Colin Hay but that sounds like someone I need to hear! Thank you so much for your lovely comment!

Thanks so much buddy. You're right, it's a bit Americana/Jackson Browne/Little Feat kind of feel - you might be too young for that and it might not be your taste but those guys had some amazing music that I think survives 50 years later. Oh and btw there's of course the link between Lynrd Skynrd and the Dutch, so that makes sense too :)
(Maybe Tom Petty is also a reference)

Hahaha It's interesting how we all complain. I live in the UK and everyone hates the trains (expensive and delayed), my friends in the Netherlands do the same, the French do the same, the Germans see their rail empire fall apart... but you know what, I will always love the French trains and seeing the SCNF always gives a bit of joy to my old heart. And I need to visit Paris again soon, because I need some decent food.

Jackson Browne is a good shout! In University I had a room mate who'd done a year of US high school and college and he had picked up artists like Browne and Little Feat who you didn't hear much in Europe (I'm Dutch). It opened my mind to a different kind of music, and it's funny to see some elements still occasionally popping up in my songs.

I don't really care about music categories (my category is BaoBou) but I chose "country" because when I wrote the song without an instrument, I sort of pictured me singing it with an acoustic guitar or maybe a semi-hollow with a clean sound.

Then when I finally had access to instruments a couple days later, I first made a quick demo with the piano... And it stuck. It's indeed very Jackson Browne. Thank you so much!

Eyxaristw pali file!

Thank you so much Angie, that's lovely to hear!

Dylan and the Who. I'm happy :)

I thought it was a good metaphor for the uncertainty we all have :)

Getting compared to the Who can't be a bad thing ;) I'll listen to that one though, I imagine it's quite different!

Thank you so much, that's lovely to hear!!

OK, that's an awesome song "Out of my brain on the train". Nice!

Thank you! It's a very personal story :)

Goed zo Rita! Als ik je kan stimuleren wat meer vertriouwen te hebben, dan heb ik iets goed gedaan :) En dank je wel!

Eyxaristw poly Anthony. There's some good news, they're getting a bit better already :)

Thank you so much Glenn!

Thank you very much John, much appreciated!

Thank you so much! The vocal is definitely a work in progress, I'm not a good enough singer... but I'll keep trying ;)

Yeah I never know what's going to come out next :) Here the song followed the poem I wrote. Thanks so much for your compliments, it's much appreciated.
