Brian Wilson and Furry Pedro - together at last! How can this go wrong! It doesn't. It is superb. Who is the second vocal - is that Melvin? It is equally good. This is beautifully put together. Perhaps some of the lyrics are a bit too naff? - but that is a minor complaint - as I have said - I am really searching for faults here.

Did a good job of holding my interest musically throughout considering the limitations this round. Lyrically I enjoyed it as well. Very strong entry, well done.

Where as “Heart Shaker” was heavily glennny, this was the other guys. This started as a Pedro song. Ken collaborated on additional lyrics. Melvin made this huge gorgeous chorus. Frisbee is the 2nd voice to enter. These guys vocals are so immaculate I like to stay the Hell away from the mic, especially in a challenge like this. I made some rubber-band bass, some wine glass chords, and some cutting room floor tracks. The sound is soo full and huge. Melvin is a freaking genius the way he can sort through and mix all of the tracks we throw at him. I may not be objective, but I think we have the best song. We nailed the challenge, the lyrics, the performance, the melodies, the song arc, the everything I look for in a song. I won’t be surprised is we make it to the finals, nor if we are bested by this fantastic competition.

Hoping for Nur Ein 3 style ties, to take us all to the finals.

If I had to rank I’d go:

Merisan
Paco del Stinko
Ross
Manhattan Glutton

The lush vocals are the strongest thing about this. Oh, Pedro and the Friz are fab, but the Wilson-esque backing vocals are too fantastic to deny. The lyrics are good, if maybe a bit sentimental at times, but provide fantastic imagery. Hard to tell there's no actual instruments here, they've all been wonderfully reproduced. I would imagine that Pedro's abdomen kick drum had to be pitch-shifted, as he's a tall, lanky fellow, no? As mentioned above, I pick this to fight with Ross for honors to go against Merisan in the final.

Woah. I mean, it's clear you don't have tons of experience with arranging and mixing choral-like stuff, but surprisingly good job, and props on staying true to your style. I don't like the pacing of the melody... it keeps hammering in the same kinds of phrases over and over and over. The arrangement is tops, though. Nice light-hearted lyrics. Mostly very likable.
