Nice to hear from you guys! A successful change of style, could work as a pop song also, but the skillfully built jazzy approach brings another dimension. Clever lyrics by Leon.
Pleasant arrangement and lovely solo played with passion. And of course Janice's voice and Bud's touch are the cherries on this tasty cake.
A timeless piece, true artisan music, "Give me one more chance/To make you smile" certainly made me smile just like your earlier songs.
Janne Thanks Janne we appreciate the kind words. Peter

Sultry in six syllables. Can you decifer the respectful compliment from that? Peter, you know you 3 are my favorite group, and this one is an outstanding example to prove I have great taste. And with Leon in the mix and providing lyrics the quality goes through the roof. Excellent mix, outstanding vocal with creative harmony lines, and your guitar work is always the tastiest candy any ear can chew. Thanks Marty! Yes I deciphered it or so I think. 😀 Melismatic? Janice

When Janice sings, I even enjoy listening to Jazz music  LOVE those harmonies. Everything about this song gets 10 out of 10 from me, the lyrics, the arrangement, the production, the choice of instruments (both BIAB and Leon's part), and did I mention the vocals? This is the _really_ good stuff!

Hi, Music Makers (Peter & Co.) Nice ballad! Janice nails the vocals as usual - love those slides - and the guitar solos are excellent. Well, the whole band sounds good. And the bass seems to get some extra love in this mix. As others have said, a pleasant listen.  Thanks a lot David. Peter

Good to see a new one from you, Peter! You and Leon nailed the old school jazz vibe perfectly I think, and Janice of course is brilliant. Love the solo and outro guitar work, very tasteful.
Well done!

Relaxing laid back bluesy jazz song. The only thing I'd have done differently is have a longer solo section in the middle as I feel a slow song like this needs such.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Hi Janice, Peter and Leon
Even for a non-jazzman this was a beautiful song!
Not only thanks to Janice, who always sings great, but also the accompaniment (by Peter) and especially the really beautiful text by Leon.
Enjoyed it!

When you four get together I know that I am in for some fantastic ear candy and this song highlights it.
You nailed the jazz standard genre.
As usual everything is as professionally sounding as possible.
Loved it.

Peter, Leon & Janice,
Everything about this song just works so well. It sounds old, but familiar and the production is perfect.
I can never say enough good things about the way Janice sings. Let's just say I am a huge fan.
Loved it!
Bob Thank you and likewise we are big Bob fans! Janice

I always enjoy Janice's vocals and Bud's bespoke mastering. Janice's vocal performance really shines on this track, and Bud's mixing brought out all the nuances in her voice.

Smooth. So reminiscint of The Manhatten Transfer's treatment of some great standards like Blue Champagne. Fantastic collaboration. Love the band, lyrics and Janice's satiny vocals.

You are all stars. Janice is singing superbly, once more ... we truly are spoilt with talent, on this forum. I particularly loved her inflection on "They say a leopard can't change his spots" - clear, crisp, wonderful ... one example out of many. Leon's lyrics are beautiful, Peter is unobtrusive but vital, to my ears, to this track ... understated solos ... and Bud's mastering is stellar as usual. Congratulations, lady and gentlemen ... and thank you for sharing, we are all spiritually richer for it.
