I enjoyed that. Especially the talking to yourself parts. Well done. That's something you don't hear very often.
As usual, great job from everyone involved. Thanks Herb. Glad you liked the talking bit (repartee perhaps) -Janice had fun with it. 😀 J&B

Hi team
Great work by you all, as usual. Love the back and fourth vocals, Janice, and that little chuckle in the outro.
Seasonal greetings to you and Bud (I'll be catching up with Peter soon). Let's hope the world becomes more, rather than less, comprehensible as we make our way through the next year (though I won't be holding my breath). Hope you stay well and continue to make wonderful music to gladden our hearts.
Regards,
Leon Thank you Leon. We’re not holding our breath either but hope springs eternal … so they say. 😀 Your kind comments are much appreciated and best to you over the holidays and coming new year. J&B

This is a very interesting and unique write regarding the divisiveness in today’s world. The vocal is well thought out with a little twist of humor thrown in. I am pretty sure that most listeners are sick of the craziness and at some point shake their heads and smile away the pain. The arrangement is very good and Peter’s guitar is very complimentary. As always top notch studio work on the production side. Reminds me of my old definition of a pessimist - an optimist with experience. A great listen with an important message, Tom Thanks for those comments Tom and the support over the years. Love that definition of a pessimist 😀 Really glad you liked the arrangement and thanks for the production comment. I can only wish my production chops could even approach your level! J&B

This was verry funny listen, upbeat and nicely swinging. Many nice lines in the lyrics, maybe I don't get or misunderstand some lines, but that's the problem when getting older  I smiled especially at drill baby drill  Anyway, nicely in the middle ground. You are having much fun with the vocals, and it makes the song true pleasure to listen to. The mix and the band are rocking all worries away (until the next lawn mower). Janne Thanks Janne, You made us smile! It was a fun project. J&B Fun, funny & punny too.
There's so much to like and love that I'd have to quote the entire lyric, every lick and each vocal nuance.
THEN there's Bud's mix n master to comment on.
100% wonderful
100% on point
100% love it. That you Ray! Have holiday fun. J&B

Great song! The middle ground may sometimes feel like a desert, but at least you miss the divide and conquer! Good point and thanks! J&B Fun song!!! Yes, I get the sentiment......I don't get anything anymore! This is funny, clever, and a joy to listen to!!! AND, Janice kills it on the vocals!!! Take care. Greg Thank you Greg! J&B Janice, Bud, and Peter this would be so funny if it wasn't so true  A very clever song that hits the nail right on the head. Great vocal, lyrics Great guitar licks Great mix All as you pros always produce! Loved it! Have a Merry Christmas. Thank for the kind comments and hope you and yours are enjoying the season!

J&B and Peter:
Good stuff with a great hook. Nice contrast that captures a lot of what we see, hear and read these days. Great vocal work; like those talk back aspects and cool oohs. Well done folks.

Hi Janice, Bud and Peter. This is such a great song. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=26617&filename=i love it small.jpg) Janice... Your vocals are awesome, awesome, awesome and then some. I really, really love the "talking to yourself" structure of the lyrics. I've never once thought to do this. You've taught an old dog a new trick. So, I'd better warn you, if a song appears in Users Showcase that has an internal monologue set up, you'll know exactly what inspired its creation. Some people might look at that as "stealing ideas" while other might see it as "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". From my perspective, though, and just like the song, I'm more in the middle ground and neither of those is really correct. My view is "never look a gift horse in the mouth and always acknowledge the giver of the gift". Bud... Absolutely stunning lyrics. Every word is so true. The tongue-in-cheek humour approach to dealing with really difficult topics worked well for me. It's such a good way of handling confronting topics and getting people to think. This is a great write and an equally great arrangement. You have a fantastic knack for getting everything to sit together so sweetly. Peter... You guitar work is fantastic and your solos leave no doubt in the listener's mind that you are one heck of a guitarist. I love what you did. I wish you all a Happy Christmas and a fantastic 2024. --Noel Wow. Noel it’s hard to express how meaningful your eloquent review is to us. Why? Because for years we’ve admired your arrangements, lyrics and vocals. So we three greatly appreciate your kind words and wish you and yours happy holidays! J&B

Wow, what a great song and performance. I can't say I agree with the lyrics though, but only because I have NEVER gotten it. Happy New Year.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
