Crazy for you I said I was crazy for you And I was; I was head over heels I don’t think the words are any less true Because time has changed how I feel Life doesn’t care how you plan it That’s just the way that it goes And love, well you can’t understand it That’s just the way that it flows I used to dream we’d grow old together You knew that we never would Love can be fickle, capricious and fleeting That much we both understood Dreams fade away come the dawn Vanish like smoke on the wind And life won’t turn out how you want it to be No matter how hard you pretend Life doesn’t care how you plan it That’s just the way that it goes And love, well you can’t understand it That’s just the way that it flows I followed my heart down many a road As often as not a dead end Lovers may come and lovers may go But we find our way home in the end Life doesn’t care how you plan it That’s just the way that it goes And love, well you can’t understand it That’s just the way that it flows We followed our hearts down many a road Many a detour, my friend Lovers may come and lovers may go But we find our way home in the end

I am a fan of Janice’s stellar vocals. I am also a fan of Bud’s engineering techniques. I am also a fan of Peter’s complimentary guitar playing and tone. Leon usually puts in a word or two that twists the ear. In this case “capricious” . I don’t think I’ve ever heard that in a song. I enjoyed all that the four of you brought to this great collaboration, Tom

Peter/Leon/Janice/Bud...
So smoooooth. Everything fits together so nicely - such a flow!
"Life doesn’t care how you plan it
That’s just the way that it goes
And love, well you can’t understand it
That’s just the way that it flows"
A nice write. (And the harmonies on that part are cool!). Excellent melody! (especially at "I used to dream we’d grow old together...You knew that we never would")
The guitars sound terrific. Love the drum sound. The bass is buttery.
And, of course, there is that Star vocal! Gorgeous.
Great job on this by all...

Hi y'all,
aside from the fact that a song sung by Janice could never be anything but marvellous this one is really, really nice on all levels: Great composition, very appealing lyrics, perfectly chosen backing track and, of course, top-notch guitar work.
What a fantastic collab...
Cheers,
Stefan

If you took out all the parts I love, there would be nothing left.
I am a big KD Lang fan; and this could easily be a song of hers from every aspect of it. The choice of sounds, the treatment of those sounds, the lyrics and the melodic interpretation of them...it sounds SO good.
I know that's short; but I don't know that I can such much more than hasn't been said. Even the line "Love can be fickle, capricious and fleeting" has been mentioned.
1st listen had it stuck in my head. 2nd listen was MUCH more critical and came up with "seriously love it!"
Chad (Hope that makes it easier)

To all involved, this track has such a charming inviting vibe to it kind of going back and forth from a pop sound in places then transitioning into country! Great work by all! Thanks, Torrey Beautiful vocal, song, arrangement and production. I especially like the chorus. Thank y’all for the kind words! Janice

Real pro stuff guys it really is, but it is easier when you have an INCREDIBLE !!singer sing for you.
Magic !!.

Hi y'all,
aside from the fact that a song sung by Janice could never be anything but marvellous this one is really, really nice on all levels: Great composition, very appealing lyrics, perfectly chosen backing track and, of course, top-notch guitar work.
What a fantastic collab...
Cheers,
Stefan

If you took out all the parts I love, there would be nothing left.
I am a big KD Lang fan; and this could easily be a song of hers from every aspect of it. The choice of sounds, the treatment of those sounds, the lyrics and the melodic interpretation of them...it sounds SO good.
I know that's short; but I don't know that I can such much more than hasn't been said. Even the line "Love can be fickle, capricious and fleeting" has been mentioned.
1st listen had it stuck in my head. 2nd listen was MUCH more critical and came up with "seriously love it!"
Thanks for the very nice review. Peter

Wow - just wow - Janice absolutely nailed this, but you did an outstanding job on the backing tracks as well. The tune is stunning, and displays a strong sense of songwriting understanding. Perfectly catchy, and it flows immaculately.
I can't think of a thing I'd change. You should be proud - thanks for sharing!
Cheers,

Hi Peter, Leon, Janice and Bud.  This is such a wonderful listen. As I sat here with the song playing, I was reminded that this journey of Life, whatever roads it carries us along, is well worth it. Peter's guitar work is excellent, Leon's lyrics are inspired and Janice has taken his words and used them to paint a masterpiece of a song. Such a smooth and immensely engaging vocal delivery! I was mesmerised by the prosody with which Janice delivered the words. As I heard it, each syllable was perfectly aligned to exactly the right strength musical beat so that every phrase's meaning was optimised. By marrying this prosody to such a delightful and memorable melody, the song soared way, way above 'ordinary'. Songwriting and song presenting does not get any better than this. All the best to everyone, Noel

All the best to everyone, Noel Noel, Janice is very appreciative of and humbled by your comments. As I’ve oft mentioned 90% of her vocals are one take with no comping. She just sings like she feels them and it seems to work out. Peter is on holiday (UK) but I know he and Leon always looks forward to and are appreciative of your insight and support. Great song, great vocal!! Thanks! J&B

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
