J&B...great track...super vocals and mix...I love the piano intro and accompaniment...though I am neither Buddhist or Hindu (the philosophies from which the concept of karma comes) I do believe that the principle of sowing and reaping is at work in everyone's life...your projects are always so professional sounding and so well performed and produced as usual! I always love hearing them. Thanks for watching and the kind comments! J&B

I love this song!  And Janis is spot on re the good karma in the bank: I contacted my hybrid elf-genie Goddessfather, the Golden Meanie, and he hacked into your sub-ether bank account - naughty, I know - and you've got oodles of good vibes in credit, not to mention the all-essential Ascended Atlantean Dollars! He said to let you know that the sub-ether credit card, KarmaMerit, now triples your good vibe input, but to avoid FengShuiCard as it doesn't matter where you place the statements they always give you a headache! It's anti-intuitive, I know, but when I sought a good ley line for keeping my FengSuiCard statements I came out in a rash all over my etheric double!

J&B + Peter,
I remember this tune. Neat rework on vocals & mix sounds great! Fun video and really cool macro shots, especially in flight. Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Thanks for the nice comments. And glad you liked the video! J&B

I'm late to that party on this one!
Janice's vocal goodness plus Bud's stellar mixing and Peter's tasteful guitars.
Plus butterflies!
Excellent.

COOLCOOLCOOL Video!
Beautiful vocals and harmonies. (Duh)
Peter's guitar work is exquisite. Melodic.
KILLER Mix.
The fact that you can hear the brush swirling on the snare head but nothing in the mix is Too Crisp is practically the Definition of a Pro Mix.
Mind Boggling.
A great sounding Piano!
Y'all are almost Too Good.
fj And you are too kind … a review that makes the effort more than worthwhile. Thanks for mentioning the drums as they were a tough choice. I think Waves CLA Drums bailed me out on the brushes. Thanks for all! J&B

Janice, Bud and Peter,
It's a really well maintained beautiful park.
“Celebrating Nature Brings Wings to Your Spirit & Peace to Your Soul.” is clearly embodied.
I'm sure Janis' performance will be of great help in maintaining the park.
Great video.
Peter's guitar also supports Janis's singing very well.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.
Best regards.

Hi J&B + Peter,
It's great to be back and a real treat to hear Janice singing again - wonderful as always. Lovely tone on Peter's guitar and super relaxed playing.
Loved the video and the mix is flawless.
Best to you all.
ROG Great to have you back and a big thank you! J&B

This is spectacularly good. I, too, remember this song - and what a joy it is to listen to it, once more (within this context). The blues are simply wonderful, but - of course - Janice's voice and delivery is what makes this song. Never fails to positively surprise and strike me with awe. Bravi. Thanks! It was fun to work with the butterfly folks J&B

Hi Janice, Bud and Peter.
This is truly exquisite listening. I remember it from 5 years ago and as with vintage wine, time has been kind and has made it tastier and sweeter. The video is superb. I love watching Janice sing. There is an elegance in her vocals that warm and soothe a weary soul. She makes singing look so easy and uncomplicated. Everything about this presentation sits perfectly. The arrangement, the mix and the performances from Peter and Janice.
"Beautiful music in the best way possible."
100% enjoyable in every way.

I remember this from the first time. It is definitely an upgrade with the cool new video from that special place. The mix, the vocals, the guitar are all exquisite and serve as another example of the craftsmanship of all 3 of you. Tom

Really intriguing how great music, a field of flowers, beautiful butterflies and spectacular vocals all came together to form an enchanting song. Superb job, everyone. Thanks for posting it for us to hear.
Kajun Jeaux We all much appreciate your time to listen and write those kind and supportive comments! J&B That was great timing when the butterfly landed on the flower right next to Janice as she sat in the gazebo. Perfect shot!
Five years ago I was a newbie here. Great song. All aspects sound professional.
Beautiful setting for the video. Thank you very much! We got lucky with the gazebo clip indeed. J&B Janice and Bud:
Excellent in every way . . . you all don’t miss a beat when it comes to making music. Terrific video as well. Good stuff!!
Hope you are all safe and well!
Deej Thanks a bunch! J&B Beautiful song and a lovely video. Those volunteers (and others like them) provide a much needed ray of hope in this mean old world.
Kind regards,
Leon Thanks and yes they do! J&B I think this is the 3rd or 4th song I've commented on today where Janice sings.... I don't think I'll ever get tired of her voice.
And there is some VERY tasteful guitar playing, Peter really knows where to accent and where to just keep quiet.
Great mix!
I hope that with your help the local park will get more attention. Somehow several collabs ended up on the first page … no attempt to saturate it. Thank you very much from the three of us for those generous comments. Much appreciated indeed! J&B

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
