Oh my goodness. My first thought? "I quit". :-). It's SUCH a beautiful song, so well done ... the lyrics in particular steal the show here, so to speak ... hard not to cry, most of us have been there, I'm sure of it. And then Ms Merritt's singing ... I am no country expert, so it's hard for me to compare her accurately to anyone, but - because I don't know many country singers, I can only say: Shania Twain but warmer in the tone. To me, that's a massive compliment, I hope it is taken as such :-)
The mix is fine, too, nothing to fault here, etc. etc. ... but what makes this song, for me, is what I mentioned above: the lyrics, the singing and (first and foremost in this case) the writing.
I'm not going to quit writing just yet :-) - but, seriously, how does one follow something as searingly honest as this? Hmph!!! haha. Sincerest congratulations from me!!! :-) You are too kind! Thank you. Janice

What a tune! An absolute monster of an earmworm, and as always Janice killed it. Super catchy without with overbearing, and the mix job is right on the money. I wouldn't bat an eyelash if I heard this on the radio. Thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Y’all sure put on on your soul hats for this one. Reminds me of Etta James. It don’t get much better than that. Again Janice lays down the perfect vocal and Peter’s guitar is right in the groove. Some fine lyrics round out another excellent collaboration, Tom

WOW! If I heard this in a record shop (remember them) I would have purchased it right then and there! Janice you knocked this one out of the park. Peter your excellent guitar work complimented the song perfectly. Leon, what great lyrics you wrote. Off course the backing tracks and mix are spot on.
You all should be very proud of this.

Thanks Mario
Ah, record shops. I spent many hours and way too much of my money in them as a youth. And funnily enough there's still a very good one near where I live, which stocks a lot of vinyl. Records aren't quite extinct just yet.
Regards,
Leon

Peter/Leon/J&B...
A big slow-bluesy-rock sound that goes deep inside ya.
All the pieces work to make it work. A great vocal (of course). Cool BGVs.
Great drums & bass. Guitars are terrific. The solos fit perfectly.
Nice mix.
"Sometimes he’d hum a little
But it never made him sing"
Nice.
Enjoyed the listen.
Thanks floyd appreciate all your support.

This song is really well done. I mean, break this song down to any pieces of the elements that you want to and it's just great. Lyrics, structure, mix/master, lead, harmony, backing vox, instrumentation, performance, arrangement...and on and on. You have checked all the boxes, IMO.
I would say you all work really well together but I don't need to. They song says it better than I ever could.
Great addition to the showcase!

Beautiful blues with country flavor!
Lyrics fit very well. Janice singing, phrasing and doubling is outstanding.
Peter, guitars are A+! Great team work on this!
P.S. I think instrumentals can go up just a hair.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha. Misha Thanks we all appreciate the comments. Peter

Peter,Janice & Bud,
Terrific write that needs a singer who can hold/bend notes to bring out the soul...aah,
call Janice!
Love the intro with that tremolo guitar, the harmonies and killer outro solo.
In short- its ALL GOOD.
Robert

That's a winning formula all around. It has an anthem quality that might well be applied to communicate with this dynamic new generation that's coming into its own on a broad scale. Janice's vocal, the melody, and the lyrics are so strong in this number that some listeners might not notice the superb accompaniment and Bud's flawless handling of the technics -- Hey, that's all right. The forum listeners here recognize and hear every bit of it. Suggest picking several topics to choose from on the category of "songs for the new working generation" as a way of letting them know we know they are out there and we appreciate what they are doing for us and we want to communicate with and support them. Understated, though, like this "I live for the weekend." No one likes over baked. Hope that's not all too heavy. Count me in the exploratory focus group. Thanks Ed. Peter

Well, having Leon write a song, Janice sing it, the guitars played by Peter and Bud being involved in the sound job - that's what I call 'playing it safe' - oh boy, how could such a collaboration ever lead to a song which isn't grand...?
But this one stands even out: Very appealing lyrics, and who could ever sing them more forcefully than Janice? And Janice, you proved to be the Queen of BV already with your, ah, musical stunt on Rough Edge. LOVE IT !!!
Peter, wouldn't have expected anything but great playing from your side - you really never disappoint !!!
Very, very, very, very good from A to Z.
All the best,
Stefan
Thanks Stefan for the very nice review. Appreciated, by all. Peter

Yeah, I like this.
Nice writing, nice arrangement, and of course a great vocal from Janice. Loved the background vox, especially after 4:00 where the second vox comes in.
Nice outro solo, Peter.
Knocked it out of the park as per usual! Wow, quality throughout here.
Janice's vocals shine as always.
A really good write, musically. Everything crafted together in a perfect production. Singing a Leon & Peter Song is always a pleasure! Thank y’all! J&B
