Hello, Janice & Bud and Floyd
Nice collaboration.
The sadness and melancholy reached deeply to my heart with janice’s warm vocal.
This song reminds me Carole King a little bit.
Though I don’t know if gin matches the heartache more than scotch, I agree Pascal’s comment.
(Still a melancholic song in this showcase, not a surprise because melancholy gives so beautiful tunes. This one doesn't make an exception!)
Enjoyed the listen very much.

Great songs as usual by you.
Very melodic, beautiful background and super vocal.

Thanks for listening and commenting. We appreciate if! J&B Hi J&B (sorry for just these initials, cause you prefer the gin  ) Still a melancholic song in this showcase, not a surprise because melancholy gives so beautiful tunes. This one doesn't make an exception ! Perfect accompaniment and Janice's nice voice recalls me Shania Twain. Sheers Pascal Hey Pascal, actually we prefer a good craft beer! Thank you for your comments. Janice really appreciated it. J&B Nice collaboration. Keep 'em coming! Loved it. Appreciate that! J&B As usual, excellent work. But if you're using the image ladder, don't all you songs have to start with There's a dusty old, dusty Bible laying by the bedside next to a half-empty bottle of gin?  Touche! But, and floyd will vouch for me I hadn't seen the vid back when I wrote the line. It's gonna take some creativity to start the next few songs with that line...particularly given that neither of us like gin  Glad you liked it! J&B

Janice Bud & Floyd
Love it!
Listened to it quite a few times on Soundcloud before you posted it here.
Already has that familiar feel of songs you really know well. Thanks Peter. Glad you found it on SC. J&B Bud - I really like writing with you. You bring a colorful perspective to a lyric - you have no idea how important that is!
(And I really like that girl you got to sing this!) Thank you floyd. I've learned more from you about songwriting than I ever dreamed possible. It's an honor to have my name and yours on a credit. Yeah that girl was driving by, saw a light on, and walked in ready to sing. J&b

I started copying some of my favorite lines but then I stopped because there was no clear borderline. This is beautifully written!! Really fresh, clever, and yet not pretentious lyrics. The arrangement is beautiful as well, and Janice's vocal-Yes, again I would say PERFECT!! Really wonderful collab! Loved it!!! Take care. Greg Hey Greg, thanks a lot for mentioning the write. I was happy with it and glad that fj was willing to tune it up for me. And Janice much appreciates the vocal thumbs up! J&B

Marvelous collaboration and fantastic music.
The melody is really impressive; the repeated passages with variations are soothing and make me relax. And your voice! I like the song very much.

I agree with everything that has been said, great vocal, mix, instrumentation etc.
You three have raised the bar.............again!
You should be extremely proud of this collaboration.
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Hi Janice, Bud, Floyd.
Simply professional whichever way you look at it.
I switched the video to full screen on the 47" monitor, put the lights down and and just lost myself in it.
What more can I say?

Wow! Is this good, or what??!!
So few tracks and so much music. What a treat this was to listen to. The simplicity of the music and the refined performance, particularly Janice's voice, is second to none. Great mixing and a terrific lyric. Nope ... doesn't get much better than this!
