Thanks a lot for the thoughtful comment. I think I understand what you hear! I'll play around with that a bit.
I've changed the tempo of the song a bit since the comment of Alex so I hope it helps a bit (essentially it starts and ends a bit slower). I do have some further changes in mind... but I'll first finish some other songs :D

(for sufficiently low values of "finished", as my math prof would say).

Thank you so much mate, that's good to hear!

Thank you so much Richard! That's a very thoughtful comment and really appreciated!

That's a very good and deep comment Alex! Thanks a lot, I will definitely think about that.
I sincerely hope that there will be some better news for you in 2025... Slava Ukraini!

Guitar, piano, bass, and drums are all mine (drums with a midi drumset). And the vocals of course!

true story! :)

Thanks buddy. I try to go from happy funky songs to the occasional ballad with a bit more story :)

Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

Thank you Kay! I also fixed the vocals and the intro a bit, I felt that was still lacking!

Thank you so much! Much appreciated, especially as your piano skillz are a lot better than mine :)

Thank you so much for checking it out, I'm super happy you liked it!
As you noticed I sped the acapella up a bit, which I thought gave it more groove, and I cut and pasted a bit to make it fit my idea better. Nothing to serious though, your acapella was great!

Yeah 100%. Currently working on another very Dannish track, but I guess this one had a bit more Paul Weller/The Jam in it :)

Spasibo! :) Thanks for stopping by and listening!

Thanks a lot Paul! Thanks for always listening and commenting, it's very much appreciated!

Hahaha good, that was the idea!

I guess I've been playing the same riffs for 6 years ;) thanks a lot as always for enjoying it my friend!

Thank you so much buddy! Glad I'm not the only one with that feeling ;)

Thank you so much! I can't ask for more than make the listener feel good!

I grew up playing piano, "recorder" (those wooden flutes) and violin; I added guitar, bass and drums later. The drums in this track are not mine of course, I prefer to use a good sample if I find one but sometimes I'll use my electronic drum kit to create a rhythm if I can't find what I'm looking for.

The piano will always be my comfort place - if I try to figure out a tune or chords, I always picture a piano keyboard, even when I'm playing guitar or singing. But the guitar is sort of my happy place, my aspiration, it's where I create melodies.
Interestingly (to me anyway), I create quite different things on the piano, guitar and vocals, and I often eg sing something that I created on the guitar, or take some chords from piano to the guitar to see how they behave there.
I'm definitely not a music teacher - thanks for the compliments though :) I'm just an old man with way too many melodies in my head, too many instruments and a severe case of ADHD ;)

Happy holidays buddy!

Thanks again :)

Hahaha, as a Dutch person both Santa and the church need to be questioned ;)
We are both music lovers and that's the main thing. Thanks for listening and enjoying the track and have a great holiday period my friend!

That's a very good call Mykael! I wrote and recorded the whole thing in a couple hours and the lyrics (and the vocals) definitely suffered. There's also bits of the drumming and the guitar I want to improve, but you're right, the vocals and lyrics are the higher prio.
My plan is to take the weekend and the Christmas break to improve both a bit - then next year November or so give it another go and produce a brand-new fresh and improved version for that holiday season. And man, the idea of you singing my song... that's a dream!!

Thank you so much! I'm so happy everyone made it all the way to the end :)

Dank je wel thank you so much Rita!

Hahaha that's awesome!! Much better than mine :D
Hahahaha I'm crying with laughter here.
BTW here's a quick clip for mine:
