What my words can't convey is the huge smile on my face. I, too, ditto Mario's comment. This song is so good; now I'm gonna do it all again.

WOW! This is radio ready, but all of your songs are. I have run out of adjectives describing how great and professional sounding your songs are. You all are pros! Yep ... everything Mario said. He said it about as good as it could be said. I can't add anything more. Just that I think it's superb music and makes me realize I have a long way to go to be even half this good. Best to all of you.. Alan Beautiful. While excellent in every respect, I found the chorus particularly lovely. With the talent involved I knew this was going to be good even before I hit play and you all delivered exactly as expected.
Regards,
Leon Thanks y'all. It always makes my day when Tom invites me in on a song! J&B

That was spectacular. I really like a well done acoustic song and this is that.
Great job with all involved.

So good!
Reminds me of the Dickie Chicks "Travelin' Soldier"
Loved it.
Well written and performed.
That really came together as a fine collaboration, which we don't get much of in these days of covid.

Tom and Janice,
Superb! A really masterful production on the bones of a terrific write, wonderful vocal and outstanding harmonies. Love that short musical break after the penultimate chorus—really pops. Wow—killer stuff!
My very humble regards,
Deej

Tom Janice & Bud
That was simply a class act all round. Lovely work by all involved. A beautiful mix, melody and lyric.
Janice sounds superb in this, and all the backing parts Tom provided including the harmony just enhance the track perfectly.
Wonderful.

Regards,
Leon Leon, we appreciate your kindness, Tom Janice sounds great, Tommy excellent on the backup vocals. Love the inner rhyme Given the chance/I gladly would dance. The instrumentation slowly builds to the first chorus - I didn't even notice the drums were absent until the second listen. Loved the playing on the guitars. The extended fiddle solo worked really well. Good write - classic country trick of the verse changing the meaning of the chorus the second time around. My biggest complaint about Waves NX Ocean Way Nashville is that it can't be used for causal listening, so I'm using I'm using the dSONIQ Realphones. I can this close to getting the NX Abbey Roads plugin, because I really miss using my VRM Box. But for $35... tempting. Anyway, stellar work all around.  David, thanks for pointing out the way the meaning of the chorus changes. There were some subconscious elements going on during the write. Janice pointed out that the pumping bass in the instrumental bridge section seemed to signify the passage of time or the clock ticking down. The NX Nashville plugin works as advertised. It opened the mix up for me and enabled me to hear things that I previously didn’t hear. You just have to remember to disable it during the final mix down. I think it’s a keeper, Tom

Looking forward to what's next from you guys. Whatever it may be, surely it's worth the wait. Charlie thanks for stopping by. We appreciate it and have been thinking of you lately. Stay well, Tom Just about as good as it gets I think  Excellent write, excellent vocals (of course!), pro mix. Collaborations are the best, I always enjoy hearing them. Really enjoyed this one, well done! Dave, thanks for the very nice comments,Tom Wow! Where to start? That was awesome!
First of all, Janice takes every song out of the park.. they're all home runs as soon as she gets involved!
LOVE the cello in this project... from the first few notes of the song it sucked me into the mood, like a whirlpool for the senses.
I thoroughly enjoyed the instrumental passages between verses. Especially the little bit before the last verse. Very nice use of the musical real estate.
The thought occurs to me as I listen to the lyrics that each generation has its own version of viewing and romanticizing relationships. This song, I would say, portrays my generation's point of view. Romantic songs written by young 'uns are different in a way I haven't yet analyzed well enough to articulate.
Tommy, you have the magic. Every musical idea you touch is brought to perfect fruition. I never hear anything by you that even suggests maybe it could be a little bit better if only you would change this or that. You know how to resolve an idea musically, and that is a wonder to experience.
Hats off to both of you. I'm expecting you'll both be famous any day now. Pat, it’s so great to read your review. Your comments are always so well written. They are a pleasure to read, Tom

This is one of those deceptively simple songs that leaves you wondering why nobody ever wrote it before. Everything about the production is balanced and exactly where it should be. Great job. Thanks for the great review,Tom Such a beautiful vocal and backtrack. It reminded me of an Alison Kraus. Incredible lyrics and production. Well done Thanks for all that Scott, Tom

Awww!
This takes me back to the good old country music days.
By that I don't mean it's dated. It just means "hello, where have you been?"
Lovely gentle and honest song.

Tom & Janice (and the ever lurking Bud)...
A sweet love song. It has a "familiar" ring to it, an immediate classic kind of sound, like you've heard this all your life. Nicely written. It has heart. Nice sing-able, slow-dance-able melody.
Beautiful production. The acoustic lead was "just right". Nice "little touches" throughout. The pumping bass was a good interlude. Excellent mix (no surprise there).
Superb vocal (of course). Nice harmony, too.
A wonderful listen.
fj floyd, we are always grateful to receive a great review from you. Thanks, Tom Excellent intro...then the space opens for THAT voice.
One of the best bass tracks I've heard from BIAB - I suspect some serious editing created that fit.
Wonderful song - well done all. Ray, thanks for the kind words, Tom
