Josie, Just listened twice, going back for a third. The key change for the chorus is an ear twister and I kept wondering how you would resolve back to the verse, but you pulled it off and brought me back for multiple listens. Very unique chord structure. Nice breaks at the bridge and last chorus. Bravo!! Tom

Hi Josie.
It's always a good start to the day when I see one of your songs on the list!
The lyrics are super - they're very clever and the hook really does hook into you.
I love the sound of your voice and it really suits this song. Everything's up to your usual high standard. Going back for another listen.
ROG.

Thank you for the kind words Dani. The arrangement is new, the song was written just over twenty years ago. I still haven't found that heart either.

Roger,
Thank you very much. I sang it in my upper register to fit the flavor of the song better and have a little vocal fun.
So glad you like it.

Josie, + 1 to all the above posts as I also look forward to your songs. A lovely song, nice vocals, harmonies and the key change fits perfectly to add that little WOW factor. You also seem to have a little ear-worm factory  thanks for sharing Alyn

Super catchy! What a terrific hook! The style fits the lyric to a tea.
Enjoyed it.

Ahhh, Josie.. what can I say? I'm so envious of your song writing ability! One of these days I'll get the nerve to post something, but you and the others just keep raising the bar before I get to where the bar used to be. Anyway, nice job. It's interesting to hear songs written from a woman's point of view. . I sang it in my upper register to fit the flavor of the song better and have a little vocal fun. ah, so that's what was different! Perhaps I'm not being open-minded, but to me that made the song sound like somebody else was singing it, and I wanted to hear YOU singing it! (and of course, it IS you, but I'm old and set in my ways and to me Josie has a different voice than that) But, in spite of my own personal weirdness, I LOVE the fact that you would experiment playfully like that! It says a lot about who you are creatively. I respect that trait in an artist.

Good tunes are written around a good hook...and that is a fine one. I like the genre busting selection of Realtracks. Breaking out of "styles" really opens up BIAB. Nice production.

Hi Josie,
Congratulations to you and Charlene on coming up with this one. It's excellent. I can't believe that it was written over 20 years ago!
What I find most interesting is looking at these lyrics through the lens of Pat Pattison's knowledge. At the time you wrote this, you probably hadn't even heard of Pat and here both of you are writing a lyric that is an outstanding example of everything he says about "balanced" versus "unbalanced", "stable" versus "unstable", and "motion creates emotion".
I love the verses' rhyme scheme AABBCCDXD. Because you and Charlene have used mostly non-perfect rhymes for the couplets, it makes them sound really fresh and it doesn't draw attention to the fact that they are rhymes. That they are not perfect rhymes is also a great way of lyrically supporting the song's emotional quality. In addition, that seemingly humble little non-rhyming second last line is, from the perspective of motion, lyrically so very powerful; it cleverly disturbs the pattern of couplets that you've clearly established. What a great destabilising device! To my ears, it shouted out "Pay attention! Something's going to happen" - not only because it doesn't rhyme but also because it creates a verse with an odd number of phrases. You sure sent me flying headlong into the chorus! How cool is that!!!
Like so many listeners before me, I'm now heading back for another journey through your song.
Best wishes,
Noel
