Hi Janice and blud,
It's a beautiful ballad song. The instruments are all in their place and the perfect mix. Nectar is a good fx.
Best regard
Dero13 alias JaniJackFlash Thanks! We’ve been using Nectar for years - just a simple preset we created. Jr This is another excellent song from all of you. The vocal is very fitting with the lyrics. cornucopia, ok Bud, is that a real word or a scrabble bluff one? HA. Enjoyed thoroughly!!! Cliff Thanks Cliff for that cornucopia of nice comments! J&B

To say it's a "fine song" is a major understatement! Such a pretty tune with excellent vocals and harmonies! Everyone involved in this one deserve high praise for their contributions! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Bud, Janice, Floyd and Peter,
Your band is becoming more and more impressive with all those musicians participating in this cool song.
You sing beautifully subdued, Janice! And the chorus is very nice.
The composition and lyrics are also strong, but who could even think it wouldn't with this buch of gus working on it.
I can't find more words to express how well you performed in this song.
Oh, one thing... I haven't heard something wrong on the drums. to me all is a plus!
Hans Thank you Hans. We very much appreciate your kind words. J&B Somewhere in heaven Janice, Bud, Floyd and Peter lives.
I sometimes get pleasantly surprised by the soft diamonds that drops down from heaven.
Will Will, that is very eloquent and hugely appreciated. Thank you so much. J&B J&B

Nice to hear another angle to the old subject. I almost wrote 'angel', because Janice sings like an angel interpreting the fallen angel really credibly, her voice is pure magic at the closing time. The open ending is very nice addition. Perfect sounding mix and enjoyable guitar playing.
Janne Thank you Janne. Janice very much appreciated you saying that! J&B Nice work everyone. A well produced and recorded "real" country song. Great vocals Lyrics tell the story well. Outstanding guitar work Good one Congrats to all. Thanks! J&B Yes, definitely a Floyd write: "a slippery slope a wayward path/so i was bound to face an angel's wrath" --Gold!
Vocal and guitar, both excellently performed. I like Janice's slide up into "side."
Solid production! Glad you liked it! And, yep, that was a floyd line. J&B As someone who has messed up a lot of things, to include relationships, I can have empathy with who ever this song is about. The music and vocals were, as I expected, really well done. The lyrics were as I said, something I unfortunately can identify with. Also, something that I haven't seen mention is that the songs vocal rhythm (cadence?) sounds like (to me) Don McLean's American Pie. Really thoughtful and well put together.
Thanks for posting it... Brilliant guys , I never know who to praise Except Janice for vocals , but I guess that's the music industry for you !!.
Great write and as always mix/production in my cans sounding awesome, your over all sound is in a sense pure !!.
I did feel the lead guitar a bit distracting during Janice's vocals in the verses , as I just did not see the reason for it too be there ?.
Great to hear another from you and bud setting the bar even Higher !!.
Take care.
Thanks
Thanks for listening and the thoughtful review. Glad you liked it! J&B To say it's a "fine song" is a major understatement! Such a pretty tune with excellent vocals and harmonies! Everyone involved in this one deserve high praise for their contributions! Thanks, Torrey Thanks a lot Torrey. Good to see you back! J&B

Janice, Bud, floyd, Peter,
Great Collaboration!
I think it's a very high quality pop song.
The melody is especially fine.
And Janice sings the melody really really well.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
