Deliciously dark and moody, with a vocal to match, great stuff! Peter's Neil Young-y guitar part is spot on. Pats on backs all around.  John

Hi J&B.
Well, what's not to like!
Everything about this song screams out PROFESSIONAL.
Inspired write, wonderful backing, super guitar from Peter and, of course, Janice just being Janice and bringing me out in goose-bumps.
Got to listen to this again (and again, and again...)
Cheers, ROG.

J&B,
Several very enjoyable listens.
The SoundCloud mix is sharper adding some more bite to an incendiary song... but some of the images in the video are really powerful so its well worth checking both.
The guitar is spine tingling good but my favourite moment in the song is the bridge and Janice`s tender vocal there.
Great work!
Robert Thanks Robert! We're pleased you liked the bridge. I was initially a bit dubious about it since it's so short. Thanks for listening to both versions and, yes, your observations on the SC mix are exactly what we had intended. J&B

Love some of the comments, Rockfish, Pulp fiction, and the best one, Outstanding. The mix is very clear, no mud, separated well and balanced. Janice provides her usual excellent interpretation of the lyrics with just the right amount of mournfulness. Peter dials in that raw distorted tone and plays with just enough primitive abandon to compliment the song. A really good write delivered in another excellent lyric video. Did I say I liked everything about this? Because I did. Tom

Howdy, Ya'll!
Di and I watched the video a few minutes ago. Great job with that! Moody with a strong backing track. And has Janice ever uttered a singing note that wasn't spot on? We seriously doubt it. Peter's guitar was perfect. This is a great collab. Everything we thought as we watched and commented has already been said. We'll say we agree with every one of them. We totally loved it! Moody Blues RocK? Danged good with us!

Great mood all round.
Enjoyed the video and Janice slinky voice.
And the guitar. All good. Cheers. Thanks...a lot! We're happy you felt it all contributed to the mood. That was our objective for sure. J&B Hello, Janice & Bud and Peter
Very nice rock song with blues feeling.
It is very impressive the melody that goes back and forth between E minor key and G major key.
As Scott said, super collaboration. Super vocal and super guitar.
Very enjoyable listen.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Wow! You made Janice VERY happy mentioning the chords. She worked it all out on her guitar. Thanks!

Hey, that's pretty nice. Glad I dropped in.
Yeah I'm catching the NY vibe.....including the slightly out of tune guitar that was on Neil's work.
This is one of my more favorite songs from you guys.
Good work.

Great moody song with excellent vocals, one of the best I've heard from you. Fantastic guitars and they blend nicely with the accordion.
Janne Thanks! And we appreciate you mentioning the accordion. I was about to drop it until I tried an overdrive pedal simulation on it. J&B

J&B,
A powerful write!
"you burnt bridges and built walls
can her love really conquer all?"
Excellent lines throughout. Deeper than most would recognize, I think. The musical bed carries the message perfectly. The droning accordion and Peter's screaming guitar are standouts. The drums sound great - the leathery thump of the kick is outstanding. Excellent mix - each part standing out and blending in.
Peter's performance is excellent!
Janice's vocal - always flawless.
Many listens.

Sorry I missed this earlier. Yes, those lyrics carry enormous power.
I really liked the dark vibe delivered throughout the entire song. Gave it character, for sure.
Everyone's part is a winner in this song.
