"Love can be fickle, capricious and fleeting" --great lyric. Janice's singing conveys the lyric perfectly. Love the guitar work too.
Scott Thank you Scott... Janice 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...
fj Thank you so much! I appreciate you mentioning the harmony. Bud suggested that  Janice

EXCELLENT,
the use of a fabulous voice and delivery makes the most of this terrific collaboration.
the layered vocals are perfect for the theme and arrangement.
Peter, your guitars really bring this up a notch.
Top stuff folks.
Thanks Ray - the harmonies were Bud & Janice's arrangement. Peter

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

Not been on the showcase for a while, Everything has been said about this song at this stage.
When I seen it posted I knew before hearing it, that it was going to be INCREDIBLE !!.
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
Thanks a lot Stefan appreciate the comments. Peter

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,
Deryk
