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  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. Thank you so much Misha. It was quite the musical adventure!

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 Hans! Janice

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!!!
🤣 Thanks David! Janice

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 Noel, it is great to hear from you and we much appreciate your generous comments on both the vocal and vocal production. Thank you! J&B

This is really good. Very different groove and tempo. Janice's vocal was perfect for the song. The song really grew on me as it went along. Really well done..

Hans Thanks Hans, the piano and drums are BIAB video tracks. They aren't exactly the same audio as used in the song but a little editing made them sycnh well enough. Sadly the real Judith won't get a chance to hear the song.
Cheers

--Noel You're very kind Noel, You're spot on regarding Janice & Bud...individually fabulously talented and as a team - whoa Nelly! As for my part: I knew it needed folk as talented as J&B to bring about he potential of the piece - asking & securing their participation is my greatest contribution to the song.
Cheers
