Excellent.


Thanks Ray for your very nice comment smile I'm glad to hear it is your favourite, maybe it is closer to your musical style. I added those instruments you mentioned just for fun, playing with BIAB, I agree that they are not necessary for the mood.

Hi Janne!

It's great to see you again.

Gawd!!!!! My headphones are flopping on the side my head all out of breath right now. That was extraordinary listening.

You've certainly moved into new areas of music since I last heard you!

I thoroughly enjoyed where you took me.

Thanks for a literally "Breathtaking" journey smile

All the best,
Noel

Wow, was this ever fun. Great lyrics arranged in couplets and delivered with expert rhythm. Upbeat and oddly funny with a wonderful dark humor. The band is stellar and the harmonica is a terrific part. Much enjoyed.

That is a great thoughtful summary of your song.

Janice was literally dancing around the studio -- you'd have to see it to believe it. Bud is used to it smile

BiaB + talent + genre exploration yields some fascinating productions and this is certainly one.

A different path but we enjoyed your little journey!

Thanks Janice and Bud for enjoying and giving such a nice summary smile I surely would like to see Janice dancing, hope you capture it on video some day wink BIAB is definitely a very creative tool and without it, I would probably doing something else than music.

Thanks Tangmo for your upbeat feedback smile Glad you found the fun and humor in the lyrics, they have served their purpose smile I like that harmonica too, not all BIAB harmonicas work well with my song, but this one was a working one.

That was different. Those lyrics... Uhhhh, I hope not from personal experience.

Cool groove to the song.

Janne,

Yes, very different from anything I’ve heard from you. Musically, it’s an absolute blast—wow, what a mix—so much fun to listen to. I would have liked that vocal to resonate a bit more in the mix, particularly given all those great lines in the lyric. But absent having the lyrics before them to read, I don’t think a listener would pick them up. But, boy, what some great touches on that production. Love those little spots of gospel choir in the background—genius! Contrary to rayc’s opinion, which I greatly respect, I like the harmonica here. Really ambitious, wonderfully envisioned, creative and adventurous tune. Impressive work!

All my best to you,

Deej

Thanks Herb, I appreciate your nice comment smile Sure there is personal experience inspiring the lyrics but definitely almost nothing included in those words laugh

Thanks Deej for your very nice review and those wonderful words like envisioned and adventurous smile I agree what you say about mixing the vocals, always difficult task for me when I try to hide defects in my voice... The gospel choir RTs in BIAB are great, but they don't work all the time, so I usually use only the best parts. I'm glad you liked the parts I used smile
