This was a happy accident. I asked @janikolmedee to send me some of his drumming. This is the drum track for Tallustellen seikkailuun. I absolutely adore the drumming and the intro fill on this one.

I made a few rules to myself. Don't use the original song as a reference and don't touch the strong structure. This was fun to compose but horrible to write lyrics to since it had four verses and I hate writing lyrics. So of course I started writing the lyrics in english to make it worse.
The song is mostly about everything that has ever made me feel good or like total shit. Mostly stuff on the internet and my virtual life. And how not to feel so dependent of all of it.
I'm in love with the wonderful feeling
when I'm ready for my spiritual healing
when we take our meds and we fill our heads
with some beautiful garbage
What do you you see, when you close your eyes
goes it feel so good, or does it hurt as well
you have picked your poison
does it make you moisten
//
New age and our spirits lift on higher
I'm pure and I'm fueled on my desire
I'm a cure to a disease you haven't found yet
we're all ready to die
Good day, to die
good day, today
good day, to die
good day, today
good day, to die
good day, good bye
//
Fresh starts never cured a heartache,
we're all sinners waiting to make a mistake
high on dopamine, digital TNT,
good god it all sounds so boring
It's more like alchemy or pure raw blasphemy
to wean off you and me - off all our dirty deeds
we can't say it came without a warning
but every second of it was worth exploring.

Great song and nice production. I'm hearing a Talking Heads kinda vibe, although more 21st century. Not sure why. A bit of 80s mixed in. Love the play random song button when things like this pop-up!

Jätkä osaa nämä melodiset ja kivan rytmikkäät soittojutut. Toimmii.

This was great! So great that I almost forgot to write a comment. I was too engrossed in the sounds. :)
Great lyrics, great music. Just... Great!

Awesome collab! The beat is so cool and then this bouncy guitars and a chorus to sing along. Loved it!
@scottlake Feb 2022
Wow what a completely great collab - the drums and guitars and keys(?) fit so very well together. I love the left and right interplay of the guitars on the ends of the verse phrases! That riff on the end of the chorus - dang that's a great earworm!!!

Okay, so that whole guitar intro is seriously freaking cool!! I absolutely LOVE it! The entire song has amazing energy!! I downloaded it to jam to! Great work. This vibe is killer.
