Hello, this is a new song of mine. I'm curious what you guys think about it. Every comment is welcome.

Mornië alantië
Intro:
Mornië utúlië utúlië Mornië alantië alantië
Verse 1: Thousand things to know
thousand ways to go
thousand dreams to dream
to many leafes to fall
leafes to fall
Refr: Snowflakes melting
When you call my name
There is only one way
Only one word to say
Only one word
To let me stay
Verse 2: Thousand wars to fight
In the name of rights
thousand people die
there’s no reason why
no reason why
thousand people die
there’s no reason why
no reason why
Refr: Snowflakes melting
When you call my name
There is only one way
Only one word to say
Only one word
To let me stay
Outro:
Mornië utúlië utúlië Mornië alantië alantië

Love the guitar playing on this, and the soothing vocals.

What does the title stand for? Google translate thinks it's Greek but the translation into English doesn't actually translate. :P

This is really nice. I love your acoustic playing, I wish I could fingerpick like that! The vocal is superb too. Absolutely no crits from me. I really enjoyed the listen. Superb piece. :)

Beautiful song, with more superb fingerpicking and really well sung too. When you delicately break into you falsetto it really works.

Breaking out the "thousands" again lyrically which I don't know if it has meaning for you especially?

The double tracking vocals are great at the end, reminds me of Sun Kil Moon if you know that. Really enjoyed this loads. Keep up the great work.

Hi Alexander, one of the best songs I've heard from you, love the simplicity of the voice with the guitar and thats because your vocal sits and fits so well with the lovely melody you have chosen. It reminded me a bit of the late Jeff Buckley in places which is a big compliment imho.

Cheers

@fischermans  Lovely acoustic track, great picking guitar style that supports your voice nicely. Also love the doubling of vocals at the end, really nice!

One (very minor) nit : your voice booms a little at the start of a couple of lines, which I assume is easily fixed.

Lovely song, well performed, thanks

Kevin

Thank you my friend for the compliment.

Kevin, thank you and the voice booms are because my recording skills are less than the ones from most of the others. ;-)

@fischermans This is a beautiful song. I love your delicate vocal delivery and the lovely guitar picking. You have a very unique style and your songs remind me of some of Leonard Cohens (Although your voice is obviously nothing like our Len's) "Snowflakes melting when you call my name" - Great line - Top stuff man  :)

Hi mate, well this is a really charming, lovely little song. Your playing is excellent and u have a wonderful voice. The melody is the champion of this one though. I loved it. There are a couple of lines in the first half where your vocal needs levelling out a little, just some words at the start of sentences are a touch too loud. Other than that I thought this was beautiful. May i ask what the title means please?
Great job and thanks for the compliment on my song, although i disagree with your own assessment of your songwriting skills....they sound great to me.😁🎶👊🏻🎶🤩

very nice song
the performance seems heartfelt
does sound like a demo with
the sound of clothes rustling

that's not a problem at all
Good luck with your reaching success
It's either this or that, then again it might be the other. 

I can promise you a future of slow decline.

Hello @fischermans
You know that I'm a sucker for your songs. This has all your wonderful qualities - fingerpicked acoustic, your beautiful voice and delicate,subtle singing. It really doesn't get any better than this. You have such a gift for melody probably unmatched on this forum. Your lyrics are always pretty minimal and leave the listener to fill in the background which just how I like it.
It is a lovely thing.

Thank you so much. But listen Leonhard Cohen is another shoe than me.

Hola @fishermans

Beautiful song, intimate and so personal.
I like the approach you have made, simply the guitar accompanying the words. Beautiful lyrics
