I really enjoyed the lyrics, especially this part:
"in this wild ride there’re always more bridges to burn
let’s try a few more before we reach the point of no return "
Great job! Thanks Ember. Peter

Janice's vocals very well suited for this style of song. Loved the counterpoint vocal parts. Very well crafted and produced.

Hi Janice and Bud (and Peter),
You made a very happy sounding song. I immediatly got a smile on my fasce when listening. It sounded like the late 50's.
And I agree fully with what Leon1 said in his post; the way Janice sang all those voices brings the song to a higher level. Did you do that with Nectar 2?
Also the choice of the intruments is very good. I liked that piano. It feeds the mood of the song very well!
Hans
Hans, I use Nectar 2 on vocals only to add some reverb and slight compression. She sang all the parts with no effects other than what I mentioned. Glad you like the piano! Thanks! Bud

Janice & Bud (and Peter):
What a terrific tune this is—Janice outdid herself on those harmonies . . . just killer. The production nails it on all aspects. Another outstanding collaboration. Cool tune!
My humble regards,
Deej

J&B and Peter.
Cool song! Clever wordplay. Multi vocal "takes" work very well on this! Peters's guitar fits in perfectly!
Mix is A+ Listens very well. Great team work!
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.
Thank you very much Misha. J&B Ok Bud, I'm going to do something I don't typically do. I know you mentioned you struggle with lyrics at times. I TOTALLY believe you now. Rough edges? C'mon man! This is not rough edges! This should actually be called... Hiwhwyptagomwargatcawewtadasoytwtay! I have a feeling there will be that ONE person who will ask about the title. For those of you who aren't good at textese/abbreviations that title is short for... "Here is what happens when you put together a group of musicians who are really great at their craft and work extremely well together and drop a song on you that will truly amaze you!" However, it's fairly obvious that would have been entirely too long. Thus, the much easier abbreviated form. In all seriousness, the song is just jaw dropping. The guitar, the production, the singing, mixing...you name it. Even the album artwork creates the perfect vibe! It all just works so well. I'm especially fond of that wall of background vocals. I'm such a sucker for that. You just don't hear that very often. There is a reason.  Thanks for sharing such an incredible song! We’re still trying to pronounce that name...perhaps a few beverages would help!  Thank you for your support, friendship and these “make our day” reviews. J&B

Peter, Janice & Bud,
Wonderful collaboration as usual.
Very cool opening guitar.
Janice's vocals and harmonies are excellent.
The song seems to be based on blues, but the chord progression is different.
It adopts normal pop progression instead of so-called blues progression.
It is also unique to make a key change in the second half.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Dear Janice, dear Bud, dear Peter,
I had the great honor (and pleasure, of course) to listen to this incredible song before it was published ,and one of the first things I said was, 'You'll get millions of excited comments on the forum'. Although there are still some missing, the ones you already got show that you really nailed it with this song.
Now that I could read the lyrics for the first time, I became almost unhinged: Your song is telling my amd Maha's story... How the heck did you know it...?
Musically this song is just another treat in the endless row of killer songs I've heard from you. Let's start with the composition - marvellous, love the harmonic shift at the end. Lyrics - see above. Arrangement, choice of instruments - top notch all the way. Mix - fabulous, like others sid it sounds 'live' and I always love to have that feeling listening to songs. Guitar licks and solo - just PeterF: awesome.
And (I saved the best for last): Janice, you're simply stunning - I'm absolutely running out of superlatives.
The way you recorded the backing vocals is totally beyond my imagination - Bud, I admire you for mastering such a challenge.
Have heard Rough Edge for so many times now, but still can't get enough of it!!!
Take care,
Stefan
Stefan, we appreciate every minute you took to write such a thoughtful and supportive review. And a huge thanks for your pre-release comments on the vocal mix. We much admire Maha’s work with vocal mixes (all mixes!) and we were delighted that she had the opportunity to listen and advise on ours. Thank y’all so much! J&B

Hi there J&B plus Peter.
This certainly ticks all the boxes.
Great song, great band and a fabulous big sound with lots going on, but always staying coherent.
Super playing from Peter.
And Janice - well what can I say that you haven't heard me say before? No one does this any better
and it's a real privilege to get to sit back and listen to her sing.
A wonderful mix, with everything where it should be, except that I might have liked Janice's main vox up a
couple of db, but perhaps that's just me being her biggest fan.
Excellent stuff, team!
ROG.
Hey ROG, it’s great to see you back here and we love your new song. Thanks a LOT for your comments and your time to listen. The vocals were a bit of new ground for us but a lot of fun. Knowing that you like them is just great. We went up and down several times on that lead vocal. I think I’ll bring it up a bit for the final songradr upload. Thanks again!! J&B
