Janice, Bud & Floyd

This project has been meticulously crafted and produced entirely without the assistance of AI. 👋 👍

The lyrics, written by Floyd and Bud Merritt, tell a story of a woman who has decided to leave her partner because he has not been treating her well.

The lyrics are deeply reflective and no longer just nostalgically regret the past, but acknowledge that what the singer used to do to cope with the past is not working anymore.

Lines like "a half finished book next to a fifth of gin" and the refrain "old ways of forgetting don’t work no matter how I try" provide specific imagery that is easy to remember.

Additionally, the lyrics, arrangement, and melody of the song have a structure that builds up to the resolution of moving to turn my life around, which (I suspect) is likely due to Floyd’s contribution.

Janice carries the weight of the lyrics on her shoulders, conveying the tiredness and resolve of the woman without letting the subject matter overwhelm her.

Mixing and mastering by Bud Merritt are well executed.

The final mix places the vocals in the forefront, while the mastering adds a polished finish that makes the track a pleasureable listen

"Ways Of Forgetting" is a sincere, well-produced track from The Mysterines Janice, Floyd and Bud. 💯 ♪♩ 𝓟𝓻𝓸 ♬
