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 Couldn't have said it better - +1! Thanks Josie! J&B

Janice, Bud & Peter,
Wow! This is really fantastic - love the dark vibe of this song and Janice's delivery vs. Peter's guitar tone is outrageously cool.
Loved everything about it!
Bob Thanks Bob - It was great working with Bud & Janice on this song. [quote=jannesan]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 [/quot Thanks Janne

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 Tom, not only is it nice for you to be back around with a great new song but it is very meaningful to us to receive your above remarks. We both appreciate it and I especially appreciate the comments regarding the mix...cause I still want to mix like you when I grow up! J&B

Hi Janice and Bud.
To quote Charlie Fogle's comment from another thread a little while back, "...this one has the WOW factor"! I couldn't have put it any better myself. Charlie's comment nailed how I felt when I heard this.
Peter's guitar playing is first rate and he's really capitalised on fine writing, superb singing and professional mixing. This is definitely a creation to be proud of.
All the best,
Noel

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!
Alan & DI

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 stuff guys!! Cool song! And, what song could be presented better than by featuring Janice's superb vocals and Peter F's stylish guitar work. Excellent production and cool video! Another fine post!! Take care. Greg Glad y'all liked it. Often these experiments, out of the wheelhouse, don't work...so it's nice to read this! J&B

J&B. PeterF, great song, mix and performance!! Guitar work is nice! Thanks, Torrey Cool song, love the backing tracks and Peter sounds great
Kenny Thanks y'all! 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.
fj Janice is most appreciative of your comment and your review of the write and the engineering is what keeps me at this music thing. In the absence of support like this we would not be continuing our now five year re-entry into making and recording music. Thank you. J&B

quote=VideoTrack]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.[/quote] Thank you very much...glad you liked the lyric...we struggled with the double meaning but think it ultimately worked out. Thanks for the time to comment and listen! J&B Hi Janice and Bud.
