I kind of agree, however:
She's not a very expressive singer by nature. And for this project

(which this song is part of) I decided to see what comes natural (same

goes for compositions, arrangements, other performers, etc), and later

see it the whole needs something different at spots. Besides for this

particular song I wanted a quite "un-dynamic" feel, which also means

that I really tried keeping the arrangement very dynamically static.

Just enough development in the music to keep the listener from being too

bored, but no crescendos, or climaxes or such. Just a simple statement

of the mood.
Still I will definitely keep this in mind when reworking it. Thanks for

your thoughts!

Hmmm. I'm not sure which sound you're referring to. Is it the one on

"one in every other bar", the one leading into sections or the one on

"three"?

The lyrics are Danish. I wouldn't want to bug the list with it,

considered it's religious nature. I could translate it and send it to

you off-list if you're interested...
