Misha & Janice
Amazing work, clever and innovative.
Lovely juxtaposition of vocals and a great instrumental bed to hear them with.
A interesting listen, some wonderful ear candy well composed with some lovely singing by both of you.
Excellent.

Always a delight to listen to your lyrics. The two voices really blend well.
If anything, I would dial down the held synth a couple of notches when the vocal is running.
Very nice though.

WOW! What a fantastic song.
A great groove and an outstanding band setting the backdrop for some outstanding vocals.
WOW is about all I can say.
Great job Misha,Janice and Bud.
Loved it! Thank you Mario for mentioning the vocals! Janice Wow... what a treat!  You're both such different singers, it's cool to hear two entirely different approaches. And the arrangement is cool, constantly shifting in unexpected ways. It sounds like nothing else on the forum. Fun listen! Thanks David. It was different but I was happy the way it worked out. I quickly fell into the rich imagery! Janice

Misha & Janice,
Great Collaboration!
I think it's a masterpiece full of exoticism.
It's a really unique sound.
Each of the vocals of both people has each taste and is wonderful.
The selection of RealTracks is great.
Drum loops are also very effective.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

What a great song!
As always , your lyrics are stellar.
Band sounds great and the mix is excellent, every element stands on its own while blending with the rest.
Of course.....the vocals!!!!
I think your choice to share the vocals with Janice was the right way to go.
It makes such a wonderful contrast that brings even more life to the production.
Congrats on this and your first collaboration.

Hi Misha, Janice and master Bud,
I am so glad I wandered through the musical pages of the forum and found your beautiful song.
Such a surprise noticing this collaboration. And another surprise is to see it embedded in this beautiful song!
But than the drawback...
All the compliments I wanted to give to you are already given!
All the 'wow's', 'ooh's and aah's too!
I was too late.
But I realised you earned them. You really do. What a nice meandering song and so subdued sung (I hope this is proper English...)
And my secret; I'm a little jealous! Janice never sung with me. You did a great job on that, Misha!
So as a total for the three of you: a great WOW!
Hans

This song really hit hard from the beginning. Excellent intro with lovely melancholy chording and wonderful arrangement. The wistful sax is perfect choice, the rhythm bed is enjoyable and the synths create lush mood. Lyrics are once again really treasure of riddles and symbols. The vocal performance is simply perfect, the duet works very well, the sadness in Janice's voice is deeply touching.

Quite a delicious piece! Your productions and writing are extraordinarily creative. Both singers are superb. This should be the theme song for a future James Bond film.
