Tom and Janice,
GORGEOUS!
Where to begin?... Solid write. "That old big muddy runs through our very souls" - What a great line! "maybe I missed the message..there’s an angel flying next to me" - love it. "Trying to believe what I already see" - doesn't get much better than that. And what a perfect melody to carry it all!!!
Janice - you always sound great - and this may be your best ever! Pure soul! Singing is about feeling and expression - this is it - nailed!
Tom - your playing - both guitar and wah wah steel - just as soulful and lyrical! You seem to step it up a little more with each new recording.
Excellent drum sound! The guitars are all right where they should be. I seem to be a piano crusade lately - I think it needs to be up more - prouder...
The choir loops are COOL! Why don't we have those in BIAB??!!!
One of the best things to ever hit the forum.
floyd Thank you so much floyd -- you are the expression master! Janice hi guys wow Janice great vocal guitar was awesome great job guys loved it lyrics were excellent thanks for sharing eric Thanks Eric. It was a fun endeavor. Janice Wow, great song and terrific performances. Love it all.
Thank you both!
John Thank you John! Janice Wow! This is absolutely great! A new forum favorite for me.
Bob Bob, that is sweet. Thank you so much! Janice Hi Tommy, Janice and Bud.
This is awesome!! Also love the choir loops. Janice's vocal as always is outstanding. Strong lyrics. Love the pedal steel as well. Thank you Joanne!!! Janice You guys are turning into a regular Brill Building.  Good song and production. I particularly like the line: "Trying to believe what I already see..." Regards, Bob Thank you Bob. Tom's lyric made it really easy for me to do this. Brill Building -- aw shucks  Janice No way!!! Way!!!
And did you see that the film won an Oscar? Darlene Love sang an acceptance.
There is just too much here to love and comment on after one listen. I agree that this is the best vocal I've heard Janice deliver. I mean, wow!!!
The guitar tone and chops, wow as well!!!
I'll be back. Thank you so much! And thanks to Tom for watching that documentary that set this in motion. Janice Hi, Tommy, Janice & Bud !
What a superb collab allthrough !!:))
Nice tune and superb vocals !!:))
Just great !
Cheers
Dani

Janice and I watched "20 Feet From Stardom" for the second time last night (the documentary that moved Tom to write this song. Beyond the fact that it won an oscar and other accolades it is just a heckuva film for anybody who has an interest in music and the production of it. Fascinating. Take some time for it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Hey Tommy and Janice,
The moment the introduction started the thought "now that's what I call classic Tommy Adams" launched itself into my head. I sat back, smiling, let the sound wash over me and knew that I was going to have a great journey. I couldn't stop thinking about how the quality of the production was so very professional, through and through. While I was sitting there trying to work out how to get such an awesome sound, Janice started singing ...
... I nearly fell off my chair. I mean, I was waiting to hear Janice sing, because I knew she was going to and I'm a huge huge fan, but I didn't expect to hear what I heard.
Janice, I have never heard you sing better. You nailed every nuance of the words, the music and the style. WOW! Tommy, your arrangement and your playing are first class. Another WOW!
This song deserves to be on mainstream radio. The production is studio quality all the way.
I'm a little bit awestruck right at the moment!
All the best,
Noel

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
