Janice's harmonies sound good.

Nice.

Thanks floyd.
Can't see anything obvious on the vocal track -(Vic also comments on the issue).
Hopefully a one off.

Peter, Leon and Janice.

I love this groove and it suits the lyrics so well.

From the very first chord, it was easy to hear that this was going to be a thoroughly enjoyable musical journey.

I honestly don't know how you all keep on producing song after song, year after year, and always maintaining such a high standard.

Excellence once again!

All the best,
Noel.

P.S. I love the picture on Soundcloud. Such a peaceful view.

Makes me feel like walking down into the woods here and setting by my creek and just watching the water flow.

Thanks Herb - creek looks nice.

It is very good and in a way as understated as his song. It gave me a smile.
You both did a very nice job with this 'sweet' song (I don't mean the lyrics, they were about hard labour...)

I really enjoyed it,
Hans


Thanks Hans appreciate the comments.

How can you not like this. It has a soothing vibe that draws me in and the vocal harmonies say "stay awhile"

Beautiful!

Peter, Leon & Janice,
There`s an innocence about the song I really like; a style rarely heard now, with hopeful lyrics that had me rooting for the factory worker`s dream, fine vocals and a good simple arrangement.
A very enjoyable surprise- well done you three!

Peter, Leon and Janice:

Very nicely done! Really like the write, and your production choices give it a nice, traditional 60’s type folk song—so mission accomplished there. Sweet melody accentuated with some pretty harmonies. Well done, folks! This is a good ‘un.

Regards to all,

Deej

This is totally different than your previous songs but just as good. Super blues harp! Everything about this is spot on.

A nice change of pace! I liked this one.

I still like it though.

Thanks Vic

Great vocals and Janice's backing harmonies really sounds like "sighing through the trees".

What I admire here is your collaboration in the development of this composition. The lyrics are superb. I love the harmonica and the vocals doubled to different octaves which make for a great composition. Well done.
