Description:
Please listen to the updated version of this song; I am only keeping this one around to preserve the discussion.

A collaboration between 9 year old Philine van Es and TennesseeVic. Philine wrote the melody and lyrics for a school performance, I put some instrumental backing under it.

Lyrics:
[attempted translation from Dutch by TV]

Flowers are budding, love is in the air,
everything is coming back to life
(repeat)
Fresh new notion everywhere are on everyone's mind;
it's early light, it's longer light, days are so much warmer;
Everyone goes outside, your little brother is acting silly, everything goes crazy, spring is really here;
Flowers are.......

Hardware:
Mac G5, unknown microphone.

Software:
Logic Pro, Trilogy bass, GPO piano and cello, Plugsound drums, Culture percussion, a guitar soundfont, ES2 synths.

How neat! &mdash 04/14/05 - 11:43:14 AM
Wow! That was neat! I liked to hear it in Dutch! I love languages and hearing them. It is good ear candy! What is the last word, however? sounds like "lente?"

Yes, "Lente" is Dutch for "Spring".

This was a fun tune to do. It's a challenge to take a simple melody and at the
same time keep the whole song simple, but still make it a bit sophisticated.

This a Very Cute &mdash 04/14/05 - 06:15:06 PM
And very well put together. The mix of naivity and the
more complex background is charming.

Never sounded better, Vic. Can you bring the vocals up a
tad?

Good going

Like that piano, very bach like.
Cute voice, nice accompanying synth with the voice.

Thanks for sharing

nice tune &mdash 04/15/05 - 01:48:09 PM
Bach-like..... That hadn't occurred to me, but yeah, large parts of the Bach
keyboard repertoire are firmly lodged in my motor memory, so that would
make sense.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Wonderful reviews thanks! &mdash 04/16/05 - 08:10:03 AM
Hi,

I am Philine's father. I posted a request for help here on
MacJams to make Philine song swing. TennesseVic did a
marvelous job on the song, very professional!

Philine is absolutely amazed by all your wonderful
comments. Thank you.

To hear the original track and see a picture of Philine with
her composition on paper look at our website.

Happy, happy, happy. &mdash 05/26/05 - 03:40:43 PM
What a cheerful, sunny song. Philine's voice is very good and it's amazing what a strong melody she wrote. Your instrumentation is the perfect background, too.

I'd also like to hear the vocal in the foreground a little more, but that's just a tiny issue, reallly.

Absolutely. Beats me why this guy doesn't have a recording contract.
