Hello, floyd and Janice
Great Duet! As Peter said, lots of skill in that one - beautiful phrasing and harmonizing - you make it sound so easy. The tight and solid drums are so pleasant. A positive feel good song. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thank you. Glad you like the harmony! Fantastic.Always love a duet. Thanks Joanne. Duets are fun. Janice

You're a real class act, you two. Such a full yet open sound throughout. Drums, guitar, vocals... all really really top notch.
Matcham Thanks, Matcham - we appreciate that... Fun song. Well written, arranged, mixed and produced.
The vocals are stellar together - A match made in country. They play off each other like you two have worked together every day for years.
Enjoyed my listen.
Charlie "A match made in country..." I like that, Charlie!! Thanks for the very nice review... Sweet and uplifting. And I love sweet and uplifting.
You both sound super. Love the stops. Love the guitars - the arrangement is great. Really nice work on those drums. Personally I like a little more bass but that's just me.
Great job. Thanks, Josie. I went back and bumped up the bass some...and then remembered that I cannot replace the Soundcloud file without wiping the comments there... maybe I'll put it up on the other site...

Hi Floyd and Janice, A song with a commercial potential This shows in the song structure, the bridge, and especially the choruses, which sound like typical commercial pop country. And by "commercial" we mean GOOD! Good heavens! I never thought I'd appear in anything commercial. At last Thank you!! Janice floyd, Janice and Bud, you two go together like country and western. THIS IS COUNTRY AS IT SHOULD BE Sun's out, doors open, volume is at 11 AND I got a response from a neighbour at last She asked if it was me singing HAHAHA. I wish beautiful I totally agree what BlueAttitude (Dave) wrote Love the vocals, especially Janice, there is something about the way she phrases that always gets to me. time for another play well done floyd and Janice, oh yeh and Bud! great stuff Alyn Alyn, thank you so much!! Janice

Floyd / Janice,
Excellent! Love the blend of your voices as well as the individual parts. Great song and mix as well. Loved it!
Bob Floyd and Janice,
What a great uplifting duet. Your voices blend so perfectly together. Bud also did a great job on Janice's vocal.
All rounded off with a perfectly recorded RT band. Especially love the solid drum sound. What's not to love about this.
Excellent work, Jez
Thank y'all for mentioning the vocal blend. It was a lot of fun! Janice

This sounds GREAT! Nice job. The lyrics work well and the phrasing is excellent. I really enjoyed the listen.
Thanks for stopping by, Rich. We appreciate that... Love this one guys - very well done!
Regards,
Bob Thank ya, Robert.... Janice & Floyd
This one really won my heart. A winning formula, keep her in your heart every day. A powerful song. Powerfully sung, yet with a lot of warmth.
Paddy P
Appreciate that, Paddy... This is a top song, it really is.
Sounds studio produced and great hooks in it. Superb performances. Thanks, Mike - can't ask for a nicer review than that!...

A great write AGAIN. Some great performances AGAIN. The three of you have standards that are so high that you never disappoint. I really liked the tight, locked in harmony. That's how it should be done. I also agree with Josie a little more bass would be nice. This is a fine example of songwriting, vocal performance and mastery of production. Some high skill level on display. Tom Thanks for the nice review, Tom. (as I told Josie) I did a mix with more bass, but can't replace the Soundcloud file... Top notch in every way! Superb write and wonderful vocals and production! Floyd, Janice and Bud - solid gold! Glad you dropped by, Lawrence! We appreciate the kind words!

Hi all. I just recently mixed Lawrence Olivier's Album Vessel. During mixing, I was mesmerized by a woman singing on one of his song. That woman come to find out was Janice Merritt. So I did a google search and it brought me to this page.
Not trying to hi-jack Floyd's post (great song by the way Floyd and nice mix) but I just wanted to say Janice you have an amazing voice and it was a true pleasure to mix it on Lawrence's "I Will" song.
Until Lawrence came along I had no idea what Band in the Box was. I literally had no experience with it. After mixing his album, I can see why you all use it. Lawrence's album turned out (he's a song writing genius) excellent and I hope he will let some of you hear it. It was a joy to mix all of these unique sounding instruments and of course Lawrence's unique great voice.
Anyway sorry if this posting is frowned upon here, again did not mean to hi jack, but I wanted Janice to know that I was moved by her performance.

Janice and floyd, This is outstanding. The write and arrangement are first class and your performances lift the song into the stratosphere. The duet approach is a perfect fit. Both of you are so incredibly talented. The word play in the bridge made me smile... when you find the one you want to hold forever spend forever holding on
... how cool is that! I don't know what you did to the drums on this, but they held me captive with their crispness and clarity. How ever I look at it, this is really fine music. All the best to you both, Noel

All the best to you both, Noel Noel - I always look forward to what you might have to say about a song - whether it be lyric or production ideas... thanks for noting the bridge wording... The drums processing was a bit of an experiment on this one. I doubled the track (made a copy) and EQ'd it hard from 200-500 (dropping out everything else) to accentuate the snare and to give it some "warm".

I know I have definitely listened to this before but I cannot remember if I commented or not (and too lazy to go through all the comments!).
This is beautiful. Top notch all round. Well done you two!

I've come back to listen to this several times. Another classic combination of excellent writing, vocals and production.
Floyd, Bud and Janice are an awesome trio of talented musicians. Music just doesn't get any better than this.
