Something very Beatles about these chord changes and the arrangement and the vocals too, especially the way they have been set with the harmonies and backing vocals. Third listen here. :)))

Enjoying this big production, quite a creation story too!

Spirited piece, Claes! Touches of ELO in the arrangements and a very nice reworking. Excellent. Chris

Great song, very nice work vocal and melodic !

Dubbed ‘The Brazilian Sade’ Ive Mendes makes an impression on everyone she meets. With her sultry latin looks, infectious personality and an incredible talent for both writing and singing, it's easy to see why she is already a superstar in her native Brazil, as well as in Japan (where she is signed to EMI) and Spain.

Her debut album features a collection of her own songs in both English and Spanish. Having learnt English through song writing, Ive is now produced by the legendary Robin Millar (Sade, Everything But The Girl) who was bowled over by her voice after she sang into his answering machine. Her songs are primarily about love but also cover all aspects of her life and reflect her Brazilian roots and latin passion.

Welcome to a new song from Euphoriqa featuring Colin Powell & Claes Steen called Rainbow Symphony.

When Claes send his new song to John, immediately John played with piano a melody to it, and reconstructed the song and made it longer. then send it too Colin, he added drums, bass and guitars to it, and wrote lyrics and recorded samples so for John to consider, he made a new mix, and he send it to Hemmo, so he could re-record all vocals and harmonies.
When Hemmo send his vocal tracks to John, it appeared that the song needed more lyrics, so Colin adjusted the lyrics to the way Hemmo was singing the song, so Hemmo could record it all over again, due to this process, John and Colin had to re-record their backing vocals as well.
When all vocal tracks were done, it appeared that the original drums, bass and guitars needed to be adjusted as well, so the song has now drums, bass and guitars played by Hemmo and Colin.
When everything was mixed, the orchestral instruments needed to be adjusted so it would sound in perfect harmony with all added instruments & vocals, then in the final stage John and Hemmo added some extra accent / additions to make it sound the way we all wanted it to be.

 RAINBOW SYMPHONY – Lyrics by Colin Powell ©2017 
Back in time, when you were young 
And didn’t have a care 
Look inside, I know you’ll find 
The real you is there! 
Open up your heart 
And just be who you are 
Don’t be afraid 
You can reach up to the stars! 
When the morning dawn is breaking 
It’s the start of a brand new day 
Put your troubles far behind you 
It’s a brand new start today 
It’s a brand new day! 
Glowing with glorious colors inside 
Open your eyes to it all… 
Take a look around 
And savour all you see 
Listen to the sounds 
It’s a Rainbow Symphony! 
Follow you dream and keep love in your sights 
Open you heart to it all 
Living your life as it was meant to be 
Everything will be OK 
Do you realize 
You’re greater than you know? 
Just take a breath 
And let your love light grow! 
When the world you know is crumbling 
When your life just grinds you down 
There’s another world around you 
There’s a secret deep inside 
There’s a better world 
Go deep into your mind 
There’s another place 
Where everything’s in a perfect state 
The earth’s illusions fall away 
You and I will move on 
In a world that’s full of rainbows 
Underneath the sun
Take a look around / and savour all you see / listen to the sound, it’s a Rainbow Symphony!

Melting Records is pleased to snag and reissue the rare album Five Finger Discount from Budapest-based producer Nándor Kürtössy, known here as Savages. Originally released in 2008 in a limited fashion and only on compact disc, the album has been sought after by hip hop and trip hop heads alike. Melting Records has now issued this classic album for the first time on vinyl and is ready to give these tracks the wide audience they deserve.

Nándor Kürtössy is a prolific producer, behind many projects like Kovacs, Savages y Suefo, and Vega Ass, and is also the founder of his own Hungarian electronic music label, Mana Mana Records. Five Finger Discount was Nándor’s first release, born from the previous few years of sessions creating tracks for himself and his friends. Encouraged to collect these cuts onto an album, Savages was created and this remarkable album revealed. Its legend has grown since the initial release with some considering Five Finger Discount a classic of eastern European hip hop culture. The album track “You’re My Chocolate” has since become quite popular among the Greek downtempo DJ scene.

The melancholic guitars and tranquil atmosphere of “You’re My Chocolate” are indeed special, and its languid beats lead the listener through an evocative journey told through sound. This cut is indicative of Savages’ vibe and is only one of the highlights on this jam-packed album. Cuts like “Lookin’ For You”, “Long Distances”, and “The Blow” also captivate by combining hip hop, vintage lounge, and dance floor appeal into a heady, sample-rich stew. Nándor’s sense of humor is also evident throughout as spoken snippets and spy-crafted rhythms intermingle within the playful arrangements. Savages is on point … and this Five Finger Discount is a hefty bargain.
