Janice, Bud and Tom,

Wonderful collaboration here . . . really pretty song, expertly put together. It’s working on all cylinders—from the write to the vocals to the arrangement to . . . well, everything else. Outstanding!

My best to each of you,

Deej

Really nice. Easily one of the best I've heard from you guys.

Nice production job too on Tom's part.

What a tune! Captured all the best elements of folk music for me - rich in tone and nicely catchy without being overbearing. And those vocals just soar - the whole tune got my swaying and flows gorgeously.

Thanks so much for sharing smile


Cheers,

There is something special about this one. The message, of course is very powerful. The arrangement and mix are spot on. The vocals are very emotive and excellent, as usual. The delivery, and the haunting melody are so compelling and memorable. The mixture of all these things make up a recipe for a most delicious serving of song.

The bar keeps getting raised around this place.

So good!

Steve


Thank you Steve. Tom made our role in this, well, Janice’s, by handing us such a beautiful production. We all appreciate your kind remarks.

Hi Jannice and Bud,

I must have missed this post, but here I am... and impressed.
You managed to make a beautiful countrysong with an Irish touch.
Even my wife loves this melancholic song. And I'm always fond of using violins, fiddles or whatever and you did it very nice.
I don't mention your fantastic voicequalities anymore. That becomes boring I'm afraid.
Normally I am not such a lover of steelguitars or all of that kind, but in your song it fits so nice that maybe I'm gonna use it myself.

On Soundcloud I will 'like' this song aswell.

Cheers,
Hans

What a lovely song. Loved the intro and the backtrack felt like it was floating. Janice one of your best vocals. Tom what a beautiful lyric. The song was so professionally done. Well done. Steel was very cool

Tom and Janice ...

This song is the perfect example why we sometimes use the word "sweet" TO COMPLIMENT A SONG. It's well written. arranged, mixed and delivered. It's captivating, endearing and such a treat for the listener. Awesomely awesome! Still smiling after a big sigh of appreciation for this treasure. Wishing all of you the very best.

Alan
