Nice guitar work, Peter, those volume swells are the cats meow. Modulation at the end was fun too.

Good one guys and gal, enjoyed the listen!


Thanks Dave glad you liked the arrangement (and the swells).

Fun track to listen to! Production was really good!
I love the guitar solo work, love the vocal, the lyrics and rhyming scheme very clever and kept to the message. Nice little modulation towards the end to start to take a song out. Great collaboration!

Janice has those smooth-as-silk vocals that add really nice feel to this bluesy piece. Some great playing and lyrics there, Peter.

Great job, guys. Keep 'em coming.

Great work, and thanks for sharing smile


Thanks Deryk will look up Feist.

Hi PeterF
It's a good song, well produced. Janice's vocals fit well. Like the cartoon cover. Instruments nicely managed. Definitely enjoyed this. grin

Hehe. smile Talk about understating your contribution.

The unprepared modulation hits my by surprise each time I hear this. Cool!


Thanks David. Glad you liked the modulation - just trying to keep things interesting.

Peter, Janice and Leon,

However I look at it, this is really a fantastic collaboration. You've all intertwined your efforts to create something that is enjoyable, so very easy to listen to, arranged with flair and produced with a super quality.

The vocals are awesome and the guitar work is excellent.

All the best,
Noel

Leon contributes some of the smartest lyrics on this forum and this is another excellent write.
Guitar playing is also right up there.
Take it to the bank!

We appreciate all that thanks Robert.

There is a piano doing its stuff for the singer to get a flavoring from, yet to us listeners its too low.


Guitar stunning though I felt the bass and drums were low as well.

Don't attack guys I'm critiquing this on your level of production ,performance and past history.


Thanks for the comments. Janice certainly nailed the song.
Always interesting to get feedback on mixing issues and different perspectives.

Leon, Peter, Janice, (& Bud)...

Exceptional.

An excellent write (so...why do we never hear from Leon? He should be a part of the conversation...).

Janice simply NEVER misses.

Peter, your guitar work in this is SWEEEET!

The whole vibe of the music is superb. I agree with an earlier comment that the piano is mixed too low (the piano is a percussive instrument and should have that "presence"). That is a small thing, though... This is a terrific piece of music.
