Wow! This is different from Janice. That Ray, he's an influencer.
This is really interesting.
The melody and chord progression, the lyric, Janice's vocal and the instrumentation make this one of the most striking tracks I've heard on the forum.
It's not a catchy singalong but a slow-working earworm that eventually gets inside your head. Give it more then a couple of listens.
The guitar solo works beautifully.
Naturally, the production is first class. Well done everyone.
Mike Mike, I much appreciate those kind and generous comments regarding my vocal. The subject matter and thoughts of my mother and grandmother made for an enjoyable project indeed. Janice

Very convincing lyrics and performance, Janice really had her say. I enjoy the dark mood in the melody, chords and the arrangement. The baritone guitar sounds great and the introduction of the organ works well. Collaboration at its best, the most interesting things happen when two quite different "voices" come together.
Janne Thank you Janne! I appreciate your time to listen and the positive supportive comments. Janice

Really great song and production!
This has a very Carly Simon radio hit feel and sound to it.
Superb.
All I can say is:
Wow, Ray you just produced Carly Simon.
Janice, you just went all Carly Simon.
And Nobody Does It Better. Makes me feel sad for the rest. Cause baby baby you're the best.
What else can I say?
😂 😀❤️😀 Janice

Intriguing melody with a portentous feel--sung most exquisitely. The back and forth with the lyric writing resulted in A1 lyrics. At first glance I thought you were referring to the lyric as AI! 😀 Thank you for the very nice mention of my vocal. Janice

Well, I love it. Janice's trademark, top-notch vocals, hers and Ray's impressive songwriting skills, with Bud on the "background stuff" ( ). What's not to like? Dark, brooding, the vocal slides from Janice, and an open ending. Well done, all involved Thank you for the generous mention of my vocal! Janice

Ray and J&B,
What a fine production! Having already listened from the Facebook post I knew what was coming! Listening again was a real pleasure! This has been produced and performed so well!
This is a collaborative team that needs future revivals!
The lyric tells a touching story!
Excellent!
Thanks, TB Thank you Torrey. Janice

What an amazing song! It's a song who's time has come. I will try to summarize my thoughts simply by saying, this is perspective without preaching. How you could have said so much in so few words is stunning. Now of course we know you can write. We know you can sing. We know you can play your instruments. We know you know the in's and outs of mixing. There are a decent number of people that can pull one, or two of those off in a song. Some even more. But you NAILED all four! So it sounds fantastic! Slightly different than I would have expected but I think that's what happens when you through all of you into the recipe and see how it tastes. Those ingredients CAN make a great song. But I wanted to specifically address the subject matter. THAT is what makes this a NEEDED song! I recently saw a big budget summer movie that actually had the female be the hero of the story. They did it all without man bashing, or TRYING to hit you over the head with some kind of message. The "in case you're too stupid to get it; let me spell it out for you" condescending kind of statement. THEY JUST DID IT! To me, THAT is the start of equality. When it's just done. They did give us the explanation, she was just that good; but didn't spoon feed us what we already figured out through the story. THIS SONG DOES THAT! So, I can't say "Thank You" enough to see and hear what you all have accomplished. The acknowledgement honors women of every generation. As a man who loves his mom, loves his wife, and loves his four daughters like his two sons I feel we are finally nearing that point. This song is a step in the right direction. To make the younger generations understand and hopefully not take for granted the progress that has been made. Yes, there is still work to be done; but how do these kinds of expressions not give hope? Anyway, I know I took this in a different direction than what you were maybe hoping to hear. The song is great. EVERY aspect of it. I just really felt as though it transcends beyond simple be a great song executed by great people with great talent. In my opinion, it was so much bigger than that. And now, back to the shadows.

Beyond the generous comments regarding the participants are your thoughtful comments on the lyric. And that is further enriched by the mention of both your yourself and family. To evoke this kind of response makes it all worth while. Thank you! Janice
