Well, spank my monkey!  I love the creative horn arrangement in this, as well as the vocal.  This is very danceable and would sound terrific in a club with big speakers.  The fact that this is not your normal style just shows your versatility.  Super job on this!

Hi, Tom,
 
This is very different for you, but it's also a really cool sounding EDM track!
 
Nice work on the writing and arranging, it's got a great driving rhythm and tasty synth textures.  Your vocals sound really good (even though I can't understand German), and I agree about the Talking Heads vibe, and I really love the bridge and "shimmering" clean guitar part that starts at about 2:28.  You've also got a nice, clean sounding modern mix.  I can easily picture this playing to a crowded dance floor in an after hours nightclub.
 
Cool dance song, you've got great skills, my friend!
 
Best Wishes,
Bob

Dear Lynn,
 
my fellow Wilson, thanks a lot for your kind words! I am glad I have discovered the power of soft synth and am willing to explore further. Man, sometimes it is hard to focus just on songwriting and not get lost with the sheer possibilites!
 
Dear Bob,
 
I am glad you are liking this. So, when will you tour the old contiment? If so, I can open up for you, but not with my band, but just with a laptop (with our favorite software SONAR on it) and throw out some dance tunes! As always it is great to hear from you!

I think if this your first try at this genre then you have done an exceptional job, very well thought out arrangement. Nice mix too.
Lead vocals could have been a little more tuneful, but that could be just my ignorance of this type of music.

Good for you for reaching out and trying out something new!!!  It feels good to do this every once in a while doesn't it?
I get a bit of a Talking Heads meets dance music from this number also.  Everything sounds good to me -- production, instrumentation, and vocals.  Although I don't speak German, that was not necessary to realize that you did an excellent job on the vocals.  The song itself has an infectious rhythm that I am sure would work well on any dance floor.
Nice one indeed!!!

Interesting... But so much like all of the other German elektro-pop on the forum.

I wanted to comment on this song because you made a very insightful comment on one of my songs.  But I simply cannot wrap my head around this song.  It's just beyond my understanding.  So then I checked out your other songs and listened to Dallas (Tennessee).  That song is very cool!!  It's got lot's of energy and great riffs.  You sound like David Bowie in the pre-chorus.  I like the lyrics and the ATTITUDE!!!  Cool stuff!

What a great way to deal with pesky people, write a song. ;)
 
Has a nice vibe to it. Made me want to move and I didn't really feel like moving at the time. You speak pretty good German too.
 
Nice dance track and well mixed.

...and how can I not respond to this one ; )
This style of music absolutely serves the lyrics. I know exactly what you're talking about. Super!
