Everything that I wanted to say already has been said!

All I can add is WOW and all three of you should be super proud of this one!

I love the blues and this is some of the best blues that I have heard in quite a while. This went into my keeper folder so fast that it left skid marks on my monitor!

Good to hear Floyd playing the lead!
We are familiar with Wondershare Video editor, we got it for free with Giveaway of the Day laugh

Wonderful vocals as always and ditto production!

Rob and Anne-Marie


Thanks y'all! I got the editor free also and prefer it's simplicity over iMovie that comes on the Mac.

The video adds a lot to the message. Well done.

Guenter

Thank you Guenter. I replaced the soundcloud file with the new master so that may be why you didn't hear the difference unless you had a download. Thanks for mentioning the video!

This is such a terrific write - especially for a blues song!...

The video is very well done.

I enjoyed having a small part in this - and appreciate all the comments regarding that...

I get lost in that vocal.... phenomenal...

Thanks Greg. Yep, the lead was indeed cool!

But then, that's not what you were aiming for. I think the whole package is extremely powerful, both the song and the images and you've done well to match the two. Of course, Janice's vocal is superb.

Now I need to go and watch "Walking On Sunshine"!

ROG.


+1 to what ROG said and the color scheme really fit the mood.


Thanks Josie. I spent a fair amount of time trying to tint the photos with the blood red color!

Floyd's playing was very haunting and mysterious.

The lyrics and chording drew me into the storyline exactly as they should.

Very well done in every respect.

Thanks all.


We thank you for mentioning all those aspects because that is exactly what we were attempting to accomplish. We appreciate it!

Sadly it also is a perfect background to recent events in gibso-land.

Still my little sun-trap outside my back door records 41C at the moment, but only 25 in the front so that'll burn the gloom away.

You all should be proud of this.

We appreciate that Alyn. Hope the doom and gloom got sufficiently burned off!

Thank you! And we really do appreciate you mentioning the mix. My old ears don't allow "11" anymore so it is cool that it held together when you did that.

Hearing mr jane refer to our song as a "terrific write" is enough to make my day, week, month and year. And your part was way more than small. The vocal/guitar feel makes the song. Thanks!

Thanks Kenny. Logic has been a learning curve for me and I
only use a small amount of its capabilities but it does work
well for us. Thanks for the remarks!

Hi Janice and Bud,

I really like your lyric videos. They are always captivating and always manage to enhance a song's presentation. This one is no exception. I remember this work from last time around and it's just as enjoyable this time, too.

As great as the video is, I have to say that no-one sings blues like Janice. Absolutely outstanding vocals! The clarity of the production is also spectacular. You certainly know how to turn out top notch material (and also how to get Youtube co-operate and not downgrade the quality).

All the best,
Noel

P.S. I thought the lead guitar was a Realtrack! Then I did a quick re-check of the post's subject! It was definitely floyd. Excellent blues!

This is a powerful, moody song. The imagery and colors in the video along with Floyd's "RealTrack" guitar definitely complement the lyric and the evocative vocals, although I'd be willing to bet that Janice could sing this a capella and it would still be powerful. Excellent job!

Thank you Noel. I try and only use HD quality photos cropped to 16:9 and follow all of Youtube's recommendations for settings. The hardest thing is finding public domain photos that work with the message and are of high enough quality. I'm glad you like it and Janice most appreciates you commenting on her vocal. And from the comment I see that mr "realtrack" jane is pleased with your remarks -- as he well should be!

I really liked the vocal. I also liked the way the two guitars worked together. Easy song to listen too.

I would love to have a vocalist like you sing on one of my tunes. Great voice.

Keep up the good work.


Best regards,


Billy

Plus one to what Greg says but also, I've listened to this several times since you posted and I've forgotten each time to make a comment.

This is a song I just hit play, close my eyes and watch the visions swirl by. This one seemed to push a button in my head. It's not so much that I like the song, performance, the choice of instruments and Floyd's lead guitar, which I do, or how well Janice hits just the right feel with her vocals, which she does; this song is kind of an 'experience' to listen to for me.

Enjoyed it from start to finish.
