Here's my next piece in the poetry project, where I pick old poems from different countries as lyrics to 80's vibe music.

This time I'm trying to sing in Danish; sorry about pronunciation flaws, even as a neighboring Swede it's a difficult language to speak.
My son&daughter chimed in with backing vocals at the end.

Solid! I rather would like hear the voice with more focus. Less Delay, louder or with more presence.

Thanks FHtH & Mattvank!
I often struggle with setting the balance and fixing clarity of the vocals.
I'm using Selig Leveler & deEsser to tame the dynamics/sibilance, but there are some frequency clashes that I'd need to deal with, for example drowning "m":s.

Great track, has a really joyful uplifting vibe. There's a rhythmic chord patch that's playing a bit too much - right around the 3:00 min mark it seemed like it should drop out (or recede) to give the vocal a bit more room?

The fade at the end is way too stark. :)

Your daughter has a very nice tone to her voice - it came through very clearly. I used to do covers with my daughter before she went off to college, very fond memories and, of course, recordings to treasure.
