On Their Side Safe and sound Finally found Safe harbour in a stormy sea Best thing that ever happened to me That lucky day You looked my way Call it fate or serendipity Best thing that ever happened to me Could so easily have strayed Into the danger zone Might have struggled to remain On the side of the angels On their side On their side Look around What’s going down All the makings of a tragedy Heaven knows what the future will be Seize the day Let’s fly away Me for you and darling you for me Heaven knows what the future will be We’ll be careful not to stray Into the danger zone I sure hope that we can stay On the side of the angels On their side On their side Please be careful not to stray Into the danger zone We’ll find a way to stay On the side of the angels On their side On the side of the angels On their side

Janice, Peter, Leon and Bud ...
As expected with that cast of musical magic, this is is a truly wonderful song and listen. Peter, you always have a such a sweet touch on the strings. A strong lyric from Leon. And how could you ever go wrong with Janice on vocals? And that Bud guy is the best knob twister in these parts ... and probably most other parts.
Loved that strong guitar outro ... just soars so smoothly. Loved it from all angles!!! Best to all of you. be safe ...

Collaborations are the best.
Strong write from Leon and Janice has a real knack at coming up with a good melody, and of course always delivers a top notch vocal.
Smoking outro solo, Peter!
Great song guys and gal, enjoyed.

Leon, Janice, Peter (and Bud)...
A good write. A very tight lyric. And the melody suits it nicely - "wistful".
A big sound. Excellent mix throughout.
Nice guitar. Cool bit of shredding in the outro.
And, of course...that angelic voice!!
Great team effort.

Hi there Janice, Peter, Leon and Bud.
A fabulous song with the whole team excelling themselves in this one.
A very evocative soundtrack which invoked pictures as it unfolded.
Great lyrics which can be interpreted in several different ways.
Wonderful guitar work - I'd have said this was a song simply for guitarists had
it not been for the fact that Janice was singing.
Janice - you know already what I mean to say. Perfect in every way.
Proper job, team.
ROG.

EXCELLENT.
The guitar licks do tread on Janice's vocals in the section before the solo - a bit of panning EQ or level work would easily sort that.
Super collab.
There are a couple of dream teams in this forum.
Cheers

Sounds great! Some fine lyrics interpreted and delivered by an expert vocalist and some great guitar work. The outro guitar work is outstanding and reminded me that lots of players know how to rip off some wild shredding lines but very few know where to put them. Peter does. Well done all four, Tom

Hello Janice, Peter, Leon, Bud,
I can only agree with what all others have said about the song, the vocals en the solo. It's a very strong song and I liked it.
With all those well earned compliments, it is probably equivalent to suicide to suggest a change in the song.
I take that risk though:
The way Janice sings is in contrast with the time signature of the drumming and strumming (slow versus 16th, I guess). That can distract the attention to the vocals. If I was in charge for making this song (;-) the vocals gets the focus and the tempo of the instruments would be in line (in 8th). Of course that is a matter of taste. And beside that, I wasn't in charge and still the song is very nice...
Nice day,
Hans

Peter,Leon, Janice & Bud,
A gently uplifting song sent into the outer spheres by that fantastic outro guitar!
I liked the thoughtful lyric, yearning feel of Janice`s vocal and that you all agreed to let Peter ride it on out.

Beautiful in every aspect - including that fiery guitar solo at the end. Janice sings masterfully as usual, the song is beautifully written and produced ... what is there to say? Congratulations!

Wow that one pulled on the heart strings. What a beautiful vocal Janice. Leon that lyric came from a very special place. Peter very cool backtrack and guitar was perfect for the song. So expressive. Well done.

Peter, Leon, Bud and Janice: As soon as I saw these names listed in the credits I knew that this was gonna be a winner. And a winner it is!
As everyone has previously said everything about this is just plain perfect. This is so much better than what is on the radio today it is frightening.
Excellent work.
I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
