    Even with a "cover" with no vocals I get chills and the onion ninjas come out of hiding. This tells people just how powerful the emotional connection between the Ladies and their fans, when they can evoke that type of emotional response.
    Thank You Alexej. You have done another fine job of bringing forth the Ladies music.

    What is it about this song? I can't listen to it or watch a performance without finding it genuinely moving and emotional.

    Good day , Alexej ! I am always on the look out for melodies that might lend themselves to a proper cover of a Band Maid song . After many , many listenings of SHAMBLES , I am impressed by the beautiful melodies layered into this song ! Overall, the song is organized chaos . Specifically , the song is typically intricate for the Maids and has melodies that stick in your head hours after listening . I hope you had a fine Summer and are ready for the beautiful , crisp and cool Fall days ! On a totally unrelated topic ...While doing some Akane related research...I found out that any grouping of primates is referred to as a SHREWDNESS ! It sounds like the name of a Band Maid instrumental ! 😆🦍♥️

    I HATE rock ballads. When the band released this song, I did not like it for one bit, though I appreciate the fact that they did it with the best of intentions. And then they played it live with Saiki absolutely belting and MISA freestyling like there is no tomorrow and they managed to hit a string. And then there is the cello version ... goddamnit! I'm not supposed to like this song, you beautiful bastard !

      Oh, that version is outstanding!
      I like rock ballads, "Page" is my favourite song. But tastes differ.
      Thank you! 🙏
