I’m proud to have the opportunity to work with such talented people.

A special thank you to Rafael Hedman and Elin Lundin for supporting me through everything. You guys are great.

I also owe a thanks to Melanie Genereux. She got an early version of the song and suggested a third verse. I listened and added.

I remember you have to burn the rope.

And this song is even better than that.

Kevin Ghadyani:

I can’t wait to buy this one! Will there be a karaoke I can mess around with at all?

Reachground:

Thanks a lot everyone for your kind comments. I’m really happy that the video keeps spreading.
.
@ Nikica and RobM: You can buy the song at http://www.indiestore.com/reachground. I’m thankful for whatever support you give me.
.
@ Bart Bonte: I love it how you write “does become a hit” here and “does not become a hit” on Facebook. Whatever happens you’re eating your shoes. Can I watch?
.
@ ALeks_M: Bass players are always needed. Send me a link to your stuff so I can hear.
.
@ Kevin Ghaduani: You can buy it right now. There are no plans of releasing an instrumental at this point but who knows what the future holds…

Kevin Ghadyani:

@Reachground: I’m hoping for the Amazon release unless indiestore is also DRM-free MP3. I just don’t have media players capable of supporting anything other than non-DRM media.

Bart Bonte:

oooops, haha, of course I made a typo here
although maybe the shoe eating act would also make a good video

Reachground:

Kevin. I don’t think there should be any problem with the Indiestore one. Try it or make a donation of 1 euro on Paypal and I’ll e-mail you the song. reachground (at) gmail dot com

This song is really great ! And I love the animation too !
If you have not yet submit this video to an animation festival (like the International Animated Film Festival in Annecy) I suggest you to do so.

Reachground:

Isa-sama.

Thanks for your kind comment and the suggestion. I will talk to the team and see what they feel about it. I think it’s a great idea!
