Oh brother.
This is thoroughly beautiful. Love the instrumentation. Very clean, quite lovely. Kim’s vocals are beautiful - thanks for uploading separately. She should create her own profile and share more - would be an instant hit here. Literally my only nag with this track is that the “slumlord” sample to my ears doesn’t blend in well with your instruments. The notes are nice, but the sound sort of sticks out. Very minor point - this is a terrific, terrific track. |

Exquistely highlights the artistry of all involved. Rich and delicate, like silk velvet, comforting, warm and absolutely luxurious.

This is so nice. Excellent vox, composition and lyrics. I’m very honored that you used my simple piano part in the mix. It’s particularly meaningful, on a personal level, since Anima has figured so heavily in my life the last few years.
A nice bit of synchronicity. Thank you for the lovely effort. |

Northern romantic vocal duett. A little sad but yet heartbreaking beautiful!
I echo colab for the slumlord sample. Isn_t the composer a fantastic trumpet player who could have done this job himself perfectly? ;-) Overall really beautiful track. |

You’ve become a perfectionist my friend, with great mastery. I am very happy for you. Here a beautiful melody with the voice perfectly suited to your instrument …. Respect.
|

Thanks a lot but please, Daniel, don’t call me a perfectionist, because I’m not and it sounds so boring. The few people who has done a song with me knows how clumsy and confused I am with the mixing software. Not to mention the numerous times when you have helped me solving problems with the software.
Why don’t you write a mail and update me on what’s happening in France! |
|
.
Nobody is perfect my friend, but I express here what I feel. You may not believe me, or take this for flattery, of course, but when I listen to your arrangements since the beginning, i appreciate the improvement in your style ….
I’ll send this week’s news from France. Dan |

Beautiful song with a lush arrangement (I personally adore those piano cascades on the left). By accosting a 20 years old voice to the one relatively old from anchor, it seems to me that a man over 40 is captured by the beauty of an innocent young lady. So anchor deep words take a new and more intriguing meaning: beauty is young, it is a matter of sprout, may an old man really know it?
Am I the only one who sees this meaning?? |
.
Interesting interpretation Carosone…and certainly apt. The idea for the song originally sprang from an exploration of Carl Jung’s theory of the Anima
- an aspect of the masculine personality which represents the “inner-feminine” - perhaps one of the most intriguing and perplexing manifestations of the human psyche. |

Damn man. You nailed it right on the head. The ancient voice of broken and worn masculinity beckons the call of youthful femininity, and she rises from the sea to refresh the psyche. Otherwise we are all dead. It’s a basic archetypal construct, but few people seem to pick up on it these days.
Anchor’s deep words are more relevant than the meaning of us all - tragic, desperate and immediate - and yet the small beautiful woman from the sea makes it all right. With a simple call of responsive yearning and assurity. It doesn’t get any more perfect that that. |

a very good song. Nothing is too much, wanting nothing. Not the usual pop off the shelf, but a dress made to measure. That you get only with a good tailor. In this song, it is equal to three, working together. A pleasure for me … sincerely Juergen

What a cool collab of talents. Anchor’s voice is just about as pristine as I have ever heard it before. I love both of your vocals together…and the atmosphere is at once ancient and modern. Nice one!

Very sultry. Like it lots.
Try using a bigger reverb with more dry signal to get that vocal better placed. |

How did I miss this one? A seamless beautiful image is created by this. Big points for keeping it
minimal to frame a couple of fantistic voices. Backing track upload my hairy friend?? I promise not to do another duet lol |
