Well, youll need to do a bit of the work yourself. smile But Ill be nice this time. smile The BPM is around 132, as its played live, so its a bit variable. The key is Am, and Camelot is 8A. However, there are plenty of tools available to check this yourself.

Hi,
Thank you for your compliment.
Best regards, Manuela

Hello Leo! Thanks! Best regards, Manuela.

Thank you, Franz! I'm really looking forward to it! Best regards, Manuela.

And we are very excited to see the result *smile. You can find the minimal licensing conditions in my response to 'ceanre' further down. Thank you for your praise. Best regards, Manuela

Hello Dennel, well, I wouldnt call it a 'challenge' but rather our Easter egg for the community *smile. Youre very welcome to do so. We are also really excited to see the result. You can find the minimal licensing conditions in my response to 'ceanre' further down. We will keep the song available for download here in the Featured section for about a week. Best regards, Manuela.

Thank you, Glenn, for your kind words and your high praise! Best regards, Manuela.

Yes, you can. There are only a few small licensing conditions for this song, which we created as a gift for the community:

If the vocals and music are used, or just the vocals or just the music, the title must include the addition 'ft. TrueSister.'

If the song is re-recorded and our lyrics are used, the addition 'Lyrics by Manuela Boekels' must appear.

If everything is newly created and neither our lyrics, vocals, nor music are used, but our song serves as an inspiration, the addition 'based on a poem by Manuela Boekels' must be included.

I trust youll all be honest and adhere to these conditions. After all, Angelica and I have put a great deal of effort and heart into making this song almost freely available to you.

Love Manuela

Hi Aaron, Im really looking forward to it! And with the new technology, its going to be something truly special *smile. Best regards, Manuela.

Thank you! Im curious to see how it turns out *smile. Best regards, Manuela.

Hello, thank you for your kind words and your great praise! Sorry for replying so late. Best regards, Manuela

Hello Dennel, Yes, Herman van Veen has been in the business for a very long time. He was already celebrating successes back when my mother was still carrying me *smile. However, his original version is quite different. We adapted his song to a different style because I firmly believe that such a great artist, in my eyes and ears, should not be imitatedit just wouldnt do him justice. Thats why we gave his song a new "outfit."

Yes, under the label "Manuela," weve once again released a German-language album, and we had so much fun creating it. Thank you for your praise and kind words. Stay healthy! Manuela

Thank you, Dan, for your time and kind words. Best regards, Manuela

Hello Anthony, thank you for your kind words! Sometimes, everything just falls into place. Im truly fortunate to be surrounded by exceptional people and musicians. Weve been on this shared journey for years now, and the consistency of our group shows that a deep friendship has also developed along the way. Without that, the musical diversitywhich doesnt only come from mewouldnt be nearly as great. We love what we do, even if we dont always agree, and I think thats the foundation of our successful collaboration.
Once again, thank you so much for your wonderful praise.
Best wishes, Manuela.

I think Hermann van Veen certainly didnt produce Electro Swing *smile. This is simply our way of interpreting his lyrics musically. Now, I see the topic of 'desired' or 'undesired' moods in music a bit differently. If we, as musicians and producers, only follow the direction in which societys flag is waving, we are robbed of our individuality, our morals, and our artistic freedom. Is that really desirable? Of course, if one needs to make a living from music, then its necessary to conform to populist constraints, at least temporarily. But if you produce only according to those demands and guidelines, then you become just another face in the crowd, entirely interchangeable at any time.

Thank you for your message and also for your kind words! Best wishes, Manuela

Liebe Gruesse Manuela

Thank you very much, Leo, for your kind words. I'll pass them on to the band as well. Best regards, Manuela.

Thank you, Kay, I've missed you *smile. Best regards, Manuela.

Well, some things are not easy to understand *smile

No it isn't

Hello, and its wonderful that you mentioned it. My sister did an amazing job with the keys. Shes a fantastic pianist, and she doesnt get the recognition she deserves here often enough. Thank you for your compliment!
Best regards, Manuela

Hello Chris, thank you for your kind words and high praise. Manuela

Well, I think its always up to the listener to determine which musical style best suits my singing. I don't see myself as being too bound to any particular genre. I sing in three bands and work in the studio as a backing vocalist for many singers. Therefore, I claim that I can navigate quite well within many musical genres. Not all of them, though! I want to emphasize that. But at the core, I love music and working with other musicians. I've been doing this for almost 20 years now, and I still enjoy it immensely.

You're right, this song has a certain lightness. We deliberately took the original song and placed it in a completely different setting. Do you know the original? I believe that with a remarkable artist like Herman van Veen, it would have been a huge mistake to try to create a cover that replicates the original. I think thats nearly impossible because the presence of this artist is far too immense.

By taking his song and, in my view, carrying this fantastic text with entirely different music, I consider this a very profound homage to the work of this artist.

Thank you, as always, for your thoughtful and wonderful comment. Manuela

Hello, and thank you for your kind words and high praise! Youre absolutely right about the use and tonality of singers when performing a song. Sometimes it really can be overdone. I tend to be more reserved in that regard. However, it also depends on the type of music. What do I want to express? How do I want to musically emphasize words so that they are perceived by the listener in just the right way? As always, it all depends on what I aim to achieve. And I think Im quite flexible with my voice in that respect *smile.
Best regards, Manuela

Thank you, Mom. Yes, we moved away from the original song style and gave this wonderful text a different setting. I'm glad you like it.
Best regards, Manuela
