Hi Janice, Bud and Floyd!

This is a very enjoyable song. A very good choice of backing band with enough movement in the parts without distracting from Janice’s wonderful vocal and harmonies. Janice’s glissando (if that’s what it’s called) works well with the sentiment of the song - sliding into various notes and syllables. The fiddle added a good touch of melancholy.

Musically, the song is made IMHO by the melody and chord progression on the line ‘a sad story or drink won't erase our last goodbye’ to create distinctiveness and a pull to the last line and title in the chorus.

I love the line ‘old ways of forgetting don’t work’ - it has a certain contradiction to it, like - ‘trying to remember how to forget’.

A really good song and performed and arranged really well.

Andrew
