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.......

	How neat! 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?" Check out my latest song called Wildflower Evening

	How neat! 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. --- Victor -- I review yours, you review mine, 'kay?

	This a Very Cute And very well put together. The mix of naivity and the more complex background is charming.

	nice tune 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! --- Victor -- I review yours, you review mine, 'kay? Check out my latest song called Allegro from flute sonata 1 in C

	Wonderful reviews thanks! 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. 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. Check out my latest song called Merton's Prayer (work-in-progress with Jim Bouchard)
