Dreamy
What a treat to be next to a fireplace, under a warm cover, smoking a cigar after a scotch, the light is dim and the mood is light. Sven is now playing a solo that takes you to the moon, close to the dark side somehow.

Like it !
Hello! Here is a very attractive melody, served well by soft and round tones. The set(group) is very classic in its style, but the chosen harmonies are very pleasant. The arrival of the guitar is one more! The set is very pleasant to listen to: bravo!
MUSIC REVIEW FROM SHUG WHITE
Dear Mr Sundberg, thank you. This delightful melodic romp can be a staple in the future yuletide seasons for many generations. This can be a transcendent piece that will be juxtaposed with the all time best. Keep bringing the chill my friend. This is classy.

Nice'n'easy
This song reminds me of the time when I was young, that's about 40 years ago. It is 4 o'clock in the morning in the village disco, the girls are all gone and you still do not want to go home. You are drinking a last drink and the loudspeakers come with bleak background music. What a sad life. Sorry, I can not hear that anymore.

If Only Review
I like the melody. Unfortunately the melody is being lost a bit by the fact that the other sounds have longer sustain as well as the instrument you used for the melody. I actually would rethink the concept of your sounds to give the track more space. If you sequenced this, don't change your midi notes, just change your sounds to give more clarity to the song. It's a good song. The solo in the middle helps break out the muddiness of the sound AND it's a great solo. I like the string pad. It's the piano and melody that I think need to be changed to get some clarity. Also everything feels like it's in the middle of the mix, perhaps changing a bit of panning will help with separation. Finally, you could use a better snare. NOW, all this being said, I LIKE THIS SONG! I just want to hear more clarity.

Potential is there !
Potential is there ! This has such nice layers and basic chord structures. I kept wanting it to go somewhere beyond some of the obvious. The thought is that the song really needs a strong bridge section to bring it up to another level. Keep making MUSIC !!! Thx :-)

nice work
The song has started with a very relaxing and sweet melody , The melody that makes everything seems beautiful . it sounds very sweet and very relaxing melody . good work ! I like the saxophone at the end of the song. it added more power to it. This melody actually reminds me of my own original songs , I also create my music with that kind of gentle and magical melodies so I could relate to it in more.

well its pop
little magical play. well yeah its a little pop. Not my style as its the classic synth instruments. On the other hand if I review it then really should not compare to my electronica style :) so on its own its actually really good. Could imagine anywhere in the pop music industry, well not dupstep or house but for nice Christmas shopping centre, wedding afterplay party adverts etc. so deserve to be appreciated, and you should as well earn your money for this :) just keep it doing.

Uma grande produção para uma música bastante alegre, com um ritmo contagiante que nos impele à dança. Acho que é realmente uma música que deve estar no top da música Pop da number one music. Também gostei muito de outro tema disponível . Penso que está no bom caminho, e que em termos de produção musical está realmente muito bem feito e tenho de lhe tirar o chapéu e dar as congratulações por isso. Fico à espera de novos temas, com a mesma qualidade. Votos de grande sucesso!!! JB

Chill
A lovely laid back party tune. Loads of interesting instrumentation and classic synth noise. Reminds me of excellent drunken BBQs in a hazy young summer. It builds throughout to a wonderful crescendo.

Taking it through dreamland
Svens instrumental is really nice. It has got a childlike innocence in the atmosphere of the song. Point of advice would be to start changing sounds around Because the bells in the end seem to become a bit much but That's also a matter of personal taste. Keep going Sven, you are on the right track

Listening, I could see the credits rolling at the end of a sad but hopeful movie.Nice sound, well recorded. I didn't hear a melody. A song has one and lyrics and a story or message. Maybe a music placement service could find a film or documentary where this nic music could be used.

If Only - Indeed!
I took the time to listen to this piece of music and invested 5 minutes of my life I will never get back. The song sounds exactly like the Demo, pre-programmed piece of music that plays on any electronic keyboard these days. It was mechanical. It plodded along. It was predictable. It lacked soul, vitality and vigour. Then nearly half way through - the song bursts into life with some excellent lead guitar work that provided a bit of spark, verve and energy. Then - the song reverted back to type - plodding, droll, pedestrian and predictable. The spark had gone. Apart from the guitar work, there is little imagination here - virtually no life or pizzazz! If only you had used more of your gifts than relying on a pre-programmed keyboard to do all the work...

Amazing
The way that the piece opens is already wonderful and has caught my attention. I instantly have the urge to stop what i'm doing and day dream. This has an old school vibe and I'm always down for old school vibes. If you made this you are definitely talented. This is a beautiful instrumental. I would probably sing to this if i wanted to reach out to my older generations. I can't pinpoint what era this is from but the instruments within the song sound very familiar. Wonderful work keep it up!

Good instumental
The instrumental is really good, but I was surprise there wasn't any vocal. I expected a pop rock collaboration due to the title however, I really enjoyed the sound. It's very easy going and relax.

Drowning in reverb
There is absolutely nothing in this track that really stands out, and the way it is presented pr. now is, I am sorry to say, boring. I understand perfectly that this is not the final version, but in order to get it much better, a lot of stuff needs to be taken apart, and reconsidered. It all kind of melts together, and at times it can be difficult to hear the difference between the instruments involved. It would be so much better to use a straight forward upright or grand piano without reverb, and I am sure people will hear the difference. On the other hand I know there are lots of people that like this kind of music, and it never goes out of style, but for my personal taste...........nope. Sorry about the harsh words Mr. Sven, but this gives me nothing.
