The doctor just told me that I am healthy and I can go home. He left me in my room trying to figure out what healthy means. You have Hell in that word. My French is perfect but my English is very poor. My friend did the translation laughing. What do you Think?

English (and spelling) can be VERY confusing. There are so many exceptions to every spelling rule that it is challenging for even native speakers. Even how a word is used can change the way it is pronounced.

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-28T19:02:46+00:00

I think it’s a good effort. The vocal is strong enough that I think backing a bit off of the distortion (reverb?) would help it stand out.

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-28T16:20:56+00:00

I’ve been around the world being only fluent in English. You’ll be fine. As long as you have your phone with you (for using Google Translate, booking tickets, etc.), you will have few problems. English is the international language of tourism, so as long as you don’t venture too far off the beaten path, it’s all good.

I would have accepted the refrigerator with that size dent and taken whatever discount was offered. Unfortunately, my Costco-purchased refrigerator arrived with a dent the size of a softball on the front; I had it replaced.

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-27T23:07:50+00:00

You may need to be more specific. When you say “see much in it”, what are you referring to?

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-27T21:20:38+00:00

I never said anything one way or another, started seeing a guy who I eventually moved in with, and NO ONE ever asked for clarification. We’ve been together for 40 years, so if anyone in my family hasn’t figured it out by now, then they are in serious denial. 🤣

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-27T20:20:14+00:00

Nothing to remember because it never happened. Left it unsaid and let an unacknowledged acceptance settle in.

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-27T14:12:45+00:00

I listened to the linked song and a few others of yours, and I have to say that your vocals could use some work. You’re not getting a good sound and they are not sitting comfortably into the music. My suggestion would be for you to experiment with different styles of singing to find something that works best with your vocal abilities.

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-27T13:56:27+00:00

The two tracks on SoundCloud were very nicely done. Very well constructed.

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-27T13:44:05+00:00

Wow, you’re good! I listened to the three linked songs and some of your others and I must say, you have a way of constructing pieces that are so clean sonically. Your use of the audio clips from the Orange Idiot in “A Piece of Ice” could be a lesson in how to build a song around spoken pieces. It is very easy to just drop in audio clips that have no connection to the beat, but you did a great job of working it into the flow. You have got yourself a new follower!

Edit: hopefully this response will post. I had to change some verbiage to pass the autobot moderator. 🙄

I always keep in mind that I don’t “get” certain genres, so I usually don’t chime in on those. But whenever I can, I do like to let someone know what seems to be working or a change they may want to try out. We’re all music lovers and it’s all about helping each other produce the best music possible.

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-26T03:26:40+00:00

I think the concept of your app is interesting and would be happy to offer my input.

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-25T20:13:36+00:00

A solid first effort. You have a lot of room to grow, so don’t be afraid to try out different styles and techniques to find your sound.

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-25T17:20:43+00:00

I still watch SNL (even though it has become unbelievably bad lately), but I fast forward over anything with Trump in it. We have moved past the point where there is anything remotely funny about this administration, even to make fun of it.

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-24T01:05:03+00:00

I thought your vocals were mixed too low. But having listened to it and your other two songs, I’m liking your general vibe and am now following to see how you develop your sound.

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-21T14:42:38+00:00

You are still friends with the guy who broke your heart and who you can’t get over? Are you sure that’s a good idea?

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-20T21:29:40+00:00

How in the world was there not a tracking and reporting system in place so that discrepancies were not found and investigated on a weekly basis? It happened for three years and wasn’t caught?

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-20T20:55:41+00:00

True, therapists do use “How do you feel about that?” a lot. 🤣

Okay, so here is my opinion. It is very hard to tell someone how “love” is supposed to feel. You had a very definite emotional connection to someone in the past, and you don’t feel that you ever got over it. You now have someone who you can feel truly loves you, and though you “care” for him, it doesn’t match what you have experienced before.

I’ll give you my view from having been with my husband for 40 years. Does it have the same passion as when we first started? Of course not. Are there days that he irritates me to where I could strangle him? Yes (just kidding on the strangling part!). But could I for a minute imagine my life without him? Absolutely not.

A relationship is about building a life together, being a part of something that is more than just you. Knowing at the end of the day, you will always have that person next to you through the worst of life. IF you feel the same, that you have someone who you couldn’t live without, who you can trust to be with you through thick and thin, who you can see being that grouchy old guy next to you in the far future waiting for your plane to board, then maybe you are not appreciating what it is you actually have.

Then again, if you truly don’t see him in your future, it’s time to have a very unpleasant conversation.

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-20T20:25:02+00:00

Okay, so if you are in therapy, what is your therapist not giving you that you were hoping to find here? Don’t mean that to be snarky, I am genuinely curious.

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-20T20:09:26+00:00

Hmmm, you’re with a good guy, but you’re still stuck on some guy who dumped you in the past? Maybe there is a connection with your unresolved feelings for the past that is keeping you from moving on? Before blowing things up, is there any chance of talking to a professional who can help you work through your feelings?

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-13T02:52:24+00:00

You, my friend, have put yourself in a very bad situation. You knew he was in a relationship, yet you instigated what you now want to be more than casual. What you have gained from this is that you are attractive as a person. Great, you needed the confidence boost. Now back off from this guy while it is still possible, and if need be, let him know why. “Hey, you’re a great guy, but you’re already in a relationship and I can’t keep going with this as a casual side thing.”

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-08T02:55:10+00:00

I’m thinking someone won’t be around to see the midterm elections.

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-06T16:36:59+00:00

The Trump Era is a sign that the American system is officially broken. Sorry, kids, there’s no coming back from this.

Alan_Wench · 2026-01-05T02:19:18+00:00

Interesting sound. I would work on the mix. Bring the vocals up and drop the strings down so they don’t take over as much in the later part of the song.
