I always liked your videos a lot, Mora. but lately it seems that your melodies are catchier and I'm loving them even more.
Some wonderful imagery - the reins, the black birds and these lines:
I'm already a drawer of yesterday

This is a lot of fun. Weird in a good way. The way you switched between voices reminded me of Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood, and it does have that radio play feel about it.
I don't think the mix is too crowded. Sounded good to me.

I think this is really good, lyrically and musically. The contrast between the upbeat music and the lyric works very well. You get your point across subtly without being obscure. The advantage of the subtle approach, apart from the fun of having …

I get the sentiment, and don't disagree. Overall, I like the lyric. However, it doesn't really grab me, maybe because it's so general. If you focused on a particular incident and how they cover it, I think it would have more impact. You could do …

Thanks Andrea. This one …

Thanks Elvis. That line …

I love the big sound you get here. It hits you like a wall, in a good way :) The backing vocal really adds something special.
-
I really like this one, Mora. Musically, it's catchier than some of your work and I loved the tango beat. The lines about the birds are my favorites too. And how did you train them to sit on your shoulders for the video lol?

I enjoyed this. A nice blend of electronic and orchestral vibes, As for the autotune debate, I think it's maybe a bit overused. How about confining it to the chorus, where it seems more at home than in the verses? Nothing wrong with your voice. Y…

Great collaboration. The lyric is clever - as a sucker for idiosyncratically placed internal rhymes I was struck by the same muse/ruse rhyme as Owen - and the music is catchy, especially the chorus. It sounds fine as it is, but I look forward to …

Thank you for your kind …

I always love your performances and, although I'm not a great fan of this song (how could such talented writers come up with a line as clumsy and awkward as, "Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?"), I think you did a beautiful job with it…

Glad you went back and redid this. It was certainly worth it. Really nice gentle vibe. Someone mentioned REM and it does have that feel. I have no idea what the lyrics mean lol, but I was happy just to be carried along by the melody.
Did yo…

Thank you, Mora. You are very kind, as always.

Thanks, Haim. Glad you enjoy…

Very nice old time folk song, Polly. Musically, the chorus is pretty much the same as the verse, but that's OK in this type of song. I enjoyed listening.
I was struck by the contrast between the happy message and the sad chords at the end o…

Musically, I love it. Really catchy and just a whole lot of fun to hear. Lyrically, I think it's very clever. I get the feeling that the narrator is thinking to himself that his younger self was a bit of an ass, although you don't make it explici…

Thanks for the kind words, C…

Thanks Owen. It's not necess…

A really nice song, Tom. Simple, relatable, warm and a catchy melody. The downward shift from line 2 to line 3 of the chorus seems a bit unusual. Along with the slight pause, it felt a little like you had interrupted the chorus and started anothe…

Just read your post, Chris, I have seldom read anything so stupid. you must be a complete doofus to even think anyone would comment twice on the same thing. i know I would never do so, and I find it a bit offensive that you even ask the question.…

I like this post very much, Chris. You tackled an important subject with great sensitivity. We can all learn from your putative struggle with forgetfulness. I enjoyed the post so much that I went back and read it again.

Thanks for listening and commenting, Mora and Chris. Glad you enjoyed this little piece of nonsense. ;)

A lot of powerful imagery here (is the blood on her breath communion wine). I'll be interested to see where it goes. Sounds like she has done something wrong that causes the foundations of her faith to crumble?
-
Well, everyone else has already said it, but this is so good. You have such a big sound and the production is awesome. I'm a fan.
I like the way that in some parts of the verses the lyric fits kind of loosely over the music, a bit like Lou …

Thanks Owen,, Icy and John for listening and commenting. One of those songs that just writes itself. I felt that it was an incident that deserved to be celebrated LOL.
-
Very atmospheric, as always, and a really cool video. I had some difficulty making out the lyric when you sang it, which is a pity because it's very interesting. I don't think it's your accent (which makes the whole thing sound more intriguing) b…

Thank you Mora. Glad you enj…

I don't set the guidelines, but I don't think there's any reason to worry about breaching them by tackling a difficult subject. It's not like you're glorifying or excusing what happened, quite the opposite. I don't think the few sparse details ne…

A mixture of old time country and folk and one of my faves from you. Nice simple melody and message in the lyrics.
There's nothing wrong with packing a lot of words into a line. If you are able to sing them all without sounding unnatural an…
Howdy, Stranger!
