Nicely done. Quite an interesting song, well produced and written.
Janice as always sounds great and elevates any production.
A song that gets better with each play.

Nothing useful to suggest other: this doesn't sound like anything else, which is also good. smile

Thanks for mentioning my vocal!
And thanks to Ray for asking me to participate.

Cool opening. Great sounding drums.
Nice Bass. Organ, too...
Janice sounds great (of course). Sits in the mix Perfectly.
habits/rabbits. nice.
Such an Interesting melody. My ear has to chase it through the whole song. It is a pleasant experience.
Superb mix.

Ray + Janice & Bud,
This is pretty complex and creative piece of music. A+ for composition. This was probably quite a tricky gig for Janice, but she pulled it off with grace. Stellar vocals! Cool blend of instruments and style fusion. Mellotron and classical guitar sounds fresh. Bass is excellent, but that is expected smile Two spins, super drive! Drums sound a bit on high side of EQ to my ears (I know it's DONE), otherwise mix sounds rich. Good one and thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Hey All,

This is quite an outstanding production and I'm suitably impressed.
But even if I was buck naked and not wearing a suit I would still be impressed that's how good it is.
Lots of very clever musicianship and production went into this puppy, and it's a whole lot of fun from everyone involved.
It's obvious that a ton of effort went into this too but I'm telling you it paid off.
This is a real showstopper. Great job. Arty and psychedelic in appropriate measures.
But don't you dare show up at Eurovision to try and stop us though and claim the gold because we will declare war!!!

Complex piece (at least it sounds so to this simpleton). All the parts work well together. I like the melody. I enjoyed this and listened a few times. Janice voice is the icing on this seven-layer cake.

Thanks a bunch, Scott. Ray and I enjoy working together and this project was no exception.

And like you, Bud and I are happy to see Ray back! 😊

Hi Ray and Janice,

Ray, I saw in your posts and try outs how you struggled 'how to please' Judith.
I wrote some suggestions too. Although they were well-intentioned, there was a wink in my words. Therefore of course not serious for you.
I understand that well. I will not cry.

But glad you're back and Judith is wrapped in a nice, intriguing song, well sung by Janice (of course).
I had some thoughts about the melody. They were a bit like what Brain wrote in his post.
I also read your answer to him, so that counts for me to. No need to response on that.
I also liked the video. How did you do that part with that dwawn piano. Amazing!
For me, Judith can be pleased with this song. I am at least. And the lyrics were just very good!

Hans

Thank you Dave,
One of those songs that just happen along and then get boosted by the guest star.

Thanks Jani,
It's always a pleasure to listen to Janice but even more so to work with her and find that she brings a song to life.

I think the juxtaposition of rhythm section and melody make it seem more than it is. Thanks for your kind words.

BIAB organ seems to be, along with drums, my go to element.
Thanks fj, I appreciate your words.

Thank you Misha,
Normally I paste in Mellotron sections but this time decided to go the midi editor route as I had some good samples/VSTis to work with.

not enough of a dance beat for Eurovision I fear. Jancie, Bud & I would have to go by BJabbaR.

Hi Ray and Janice and Bud.

This is great listening. I loved the journey.

Janice, you have an amazing ability to own whatever genre you sing. You always sound 100% comfortable and fully committed to the lyrics, and you always take the listener on a wonderful musical ride. I greatly envy your ability. Bud's work with your vocals is seamless. The two of you together are truly a powerful musical duo.

Ray, just like everything you do, the song, its arrangement and production, and its presentation are outstanding. You've got my standing ovation!

All the very best,
--Noel
