When I went to revisit and remix this song I found that I could no longer align Janice's harmony. I had cut up her original vocal quit a bit to experiment with a kind of duel lead approach. I rewrote my part a bit and Janice was kind enough to rewrite her part. In the rewrite I went for a more traditional lead/harmony interplay than the first recording.

Beautiful beautiful!
It's almost Dylan and Emmylou Harris.
Top-notch vocals, and the fiddle works great.

Lawrence,

Good to see you posting again! I hope that continues.

2 of my favorite singers in one song. Can't beat that.

Nice.

I remember this one. Loved it then and I love it now!! Really like the traditional folk feel with the romantic lyrics. Fiddle works great (don't remember if that was in the original), and as Floyd says "two of my favorite singers"! Great stuff!! Take care. Greg

Congratulations Lawrence (and janice ;-), jolie valse !
I must confess that I prefer the accoustic parts, and particulary the fiddle.
Cheers

HOLY CRAP! This is GREAT! Absolutely inspiring on every level! First of all, the lyrics are amazing... they have the feel of something traditional .. enhanced by your use of somewhat antiquated terminology...

the style itself is also reminiscent of an 1800s era ballad! I experienced shiver rushes the whole time it played, from start to finish!

Janice, this is such a new and wonderful sound for you! It's different from most of what I've heard from you til now , but JEEZ! You both knocked this ball clean out of the park and into the next county!

Right from the beginning with the acoustic guitar I knew this was going to be a favorite... and then the lyrics started flowing... and then the fiddle came in... and then Janice came in... and by the time the drums made their entrance, that just pushed it over the top and clean out of sight!

Great use of dynamics, bringing instruments in and out of the mix to build and release tension... And that distorted bass!

I'm impressed beyond words... I'll be dreaming about this one! It's embedded in my subconscious now! Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

(PS this song needs to go on your GREATEST HITS collection...)

Only one suggestion since listening to this for about 10 times. Only noticeable when listening with headphones. Can you try to filter out the HF noise with a LPF. Most noticeable in the beginning.
