Special congratulations to Marianna Roschina who took the first place in the winners list
Thank you very much, Aniv, for congratulations. I just don’t consider my humble person on the first place. I guess that we all together (22 winners) are on the first place in that list. Just let’s not elbow one another and all will be OK.
I join your CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners. My special congratulations are to people from Ukraine and Kiev especially (besides pale me there are 6 persons from Kiev and 7 from Ukraine!). Nice to see again Kiev leadership in contest.

Question: should we place our contest letters here for people to read our thoughts about samples?
It’s up to you – to publish your contest letters or not. But I don’t think that letters might be published without their authors consent. Anyway those are private mails to Mattias and Anders. And I’m not sure that all people who wrote those mails would like to see their mails published. Who wants to publish will place it here or anywhere else. Who doesn’t want to – won’t do it. And it’s only will of those letters authors. My own will – I don’t want to publish. I wrote it only to Mattias and Anders. Not for public. Sorry...
Yours Marianna

Well, Aniv, it really does depend whether the person wants to share it all with the others or not. And I think, that's why Mattias wouldn't comment it all.

I think that if anyone wants to share his/her contest e-mail to all the community you should do it and don’t ask should you do it or not It would be uncomfortable situation if every foruumist asks all the others whether they want to listen what he says. This forum is created for sharing thoughts. So, Aniv, if you are ready to share your thoughts – do it. And everyone, who wants to publish his contest mail, do it by your will.

Well, Shadow, I'm following your advice and placing my own letter. So, here it is:
Hello, I want to write down some words
It was suggested to choose one favourite song sample from the upcoming album Your Whole Life Is Leading Up To This. So I didn't take into account the songs which I had already listened in full version (FLM, Queen, They Do It).
I suppose that it is "Love Earth Cry" sample that I can call my favourite one. Why? Let me see... I'm fond of duets. This type of the songs shows differences between singers' voices; and often singers try to show their voice abilities in best way exactly in duets. "Love Earth Cry" is probably the only song (or one of few songs) in which we can see something like compromise between new heart lyrical style of Vacuum and the old sound of "the voice of Vacuum". In this sample Mattias sang probably with the most "vacuumish" voice. The second voice of an unrevealed female singer is also perfect. And it sounds amazing when Mattias sings the chorus and the second singer sings "love earth" words as a background. Music. I would say that music is minimalistic. I like it. Not too much instruments. You hear almost only the bass. The main roles are left for perfect voices, for vocal melody. And that made the singers use their vocal skills in their best way.
So, I'm impatiently waiting for the album, and especially for this song to listen it totally from the beginning to the end. I suppose I'll even switch repeat button and will listen to "Love Earth Cry" for an hour at least!

Greetings to all Vacuum community! I’m back to foruum, hopefully for a long time at this time I also can share my e-letter, here it goes :
> It was a hard mission > To take a right decision, > To choose the brilliant from the chest. > I'm excited, I'm impressed. > I've chosen They Do It. > It is my verdict.
> Is your question meant for that? > For soul, for pain, for God, > For ocean of emotions, > For impulses devotion, > For contract with a demon, > For giving me my freedom, > For blessing of the Christ, > For neverending flight... > And I'm not going here to lie - > This is the music of my life.
I’m not a poem writer, so we’re having that, what we have.
I’m not sure is it a release day of the album today, if it is, I would like to congratulate all members of our community with this great day! ( But if it’s not, it is a rehearsal).
2 Aniv, Nice signature 2-nd part of first couplet, Dead Gardens, Once, Nightwish. I also like those words… They’re actual sometimes for me to.

It is a good idea to express the feelings in verses. It has turned out fine.
