Every note choice, every delivery of that note choice, every lyric, every aspect of mixing and production. Would you consider put out a song here and there that has a few issues to it. I'll let you pick what and where. I just would like to be able to say ANYTHING different! I don't think Peter could pick a note or tone that would be the best choice though. If all of your instincts are correct...maybe do the opposite? Anyway, you get my point that I love the song AND the artwork. With Janice always looking so young it almost feels like a young girl wondering about a long lost descendent.

As are as the subject, it's a mixed bag for me. Not that I don't like it but there is a sadness in how time treats these now orphaned reminders of a person. A life was lived. What made that person laugh? What were some of the happiest days of their lives? What were their fears? What did they live through? Just so many questions. I know it's overly said, but between those numbers was someone's entire life. It makes me think. Sadly, how soon we are forgotten.

I did want to make special mention of the stacked vocals at 2:28. WOW! That was so cool in my book!

I was all over the place with this post, but the types of subjects tend to do that to me. Thanks for such a special song.




Those comments are so genuinely supportive - it’s hard to articulate how much they help us realize that a song this personal to us can be also be meaningful to others. We are planning the video so we continue to ponder those questions you raised about their lives.

Thanks for all and the mention of the vocal part and Peter’s excellent contribution.

We appreciate it!
