Hi Josie, This is really beautifully presented. You have done a splendid job with every aspect of JoanneC's song and harmonies. The clarity of the mix is outstanding and it supports a first-class arrangement and a stellar performance. I thoroughly enjoyed listening. All the best, Noel

Very tasteful production. I like the tempo of this version. Nice collaboration. Good to see you Jim, Thank you. A very tasteful relaxed and sophisticated sound. Wonderful blend on the harmonies. Nice one! Cheers. Thank you Rich. We appreciate it. This song is a lovely write. Love the chord progression reminds me a little of Lionel Ritchies "Stuck on You". Very well mixed lots of color going on here. Always love your work guys. Rob. Now that you mention it, it reminds me of it too. Thank you Rob. Hi Josie, That is a beautiful interpretation of a beautiful song. The choice of real tracks is perfect. Nice call on the EP. The timing change works also. The editing is great with just a few sax lines. Above all it is perfectly sung with the BG vocals in just the right places. Great mix. You girls have got it going on. I couldn't say it better. I really enjoyed it. Guenter Thank you very much Guenter. Congrats again on your remix win! Josie

Great collaboration here. This is so nice and laid back/relaxed like RichMac noticed. I like the guitar choice too. Nice job making it your own with the phrasing on the vocals Josie. Thank you Patrick. That guitar is what set me down this path - it had such a pretty and soulful sound. I tried who knows how many others before finding it and doing a little editing. Oh my Josie (Sundance), this is so smooth. A really wonderful production. I particularly enjoyed your vocals on this one.
And JosieC, great harmonies. Also, again your songwriting shines.
I think this is my personal favorite of all the JosieC collaborations (barely edging Guenters remix by a nose).
thoroughly enjoyed this.
Charlie Charlie thank you so much. What a great compliment. Joanne's original vocal sounds so great for her big ballad that I wanted to make this one my own style. I'm so happy it worked. Josie and Joanne, Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Josie, you had a cheek to ask me for "talent in a bottle" and then THIS turns up Everything about this is perfect. Sultry vocals, good arrangement, beautiful harmonies. Spectacular write, Joanne!! Spectacular vocals Josie!! Alyn Alyn, thank you so much. I was worried Joanne might think "look what she's done to my song ma..." Thank goodness she liked it too. Josie

The J team indeed. Now all we need is a song with Janice as well! Maybe my next project.
Josie thank you for this wonderful rendition. You treated it so gently (which is no less than the subject matter deserves!) as opposed to my "belting it out"(which I tend to do and probably overdo). I really love what you have done with the song and it is going to be a very tasty addition to the collaboration album.
I am going to be working on a video for this one in a few weeks time.
Thanks to all those who have listened and commented. We appreciate it. Joanne thank you again for inviting me to do this song, those beautiful harmonies and being so easy to work with. It was a pleasure. Looking forward to the video. Smooth. Very enjoyable listen. I caught the Ritchie vibe in a few places that others have mentioned.
I like the EP as it fits the style and groove nicely. Good call on the sax.... but I'd liked to have heard it used a bit more in the song for fills.
Good work. This project was a great idea, and has turned out some real gems. And this is one of those sparklers. Thank you Herb. I had more of the sax but decided it was too much for the song and I'd go with it more like the crème filling in a Ding Dong cookie cake - tasty surprise in the middle that lingers a little even after it's gone.... I'm really happy you liked it. We appreciate it very much. Well Joanne,
Your collaboration project has resulted in another winner! And I really like the term "J TEAM"... I hope we hear from them again!
My brain is having a hard time finding words today, so I'll mostly agree with everything that has been said... the mix sounded perfect to me, the choice of instruments and style really gave the song a smooth and classy presentation.
Your voice is especially beautiful here, Josie. Each time I hear one of your posts I decide its my favorite from you, and this one is no exception.
I like the term "gently" Joanne used to describe your handling of the subject... I agree with that choice of words. And Joanne, your song has such a universal theme! That surely makes it more transferable to other artists interpretation!
My hat is off to the entire J TEAM! You both brought good things to the project! Thank you Pat. It was such a cool song to sing. A lot of fun singing and arranging something I didn't write. The "J Team" appreciates your comments very much. Josie

Great tune folks. This is a really enjoyable pop ballad. Thanks for sharing. Thoroughly enjoyed the lyrics. How true. Trevor
Thank you Trevor. Joanne wrote a beautiful song. It was great getting to do my version of it. I know her daughter will realize someday what a lucky girl she is to have such a thoughtful and talented mom. Another great song of Josie's project. Beautifully sung by both of you. Very crisp sound and the sax is very functional here.
Rob and Anne-Marie Thank you Rob and Anne-Marie. Love it when you like it. We appreciate it very much. Nicely done, Josie.
A super backing track and a perfect vocal.
You've taken a great song and produced a fabulous version.
Beautiful.
ROG. That is high praise indeed coming from the Music Prof and I couldn't appreciate it more. Thank you Roger from me and Joanne. Hello Josie,
Loved the song and mix. Did you use the TC in Biab for the harms? They sound great.
Trax TRAX! So happy you liked it. I did this arrangement and sang lead. Joanne only used the TCH with my lead vocal to learn the harmonies - then she sang them herself. She put a lot of work into those and they sound great. I added a bit of magic dust (vocal processing) in the mix. Josie

Josie X 2 How cool is that!
Every body has said it well. Everything works. It's a fine arrangement that sounds great on our monitors.
Congrats on a fine collab!
J&B
Thank you J&B. Very much appreciated. W-O-W-!
In poker parlance, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BEATS A BEAUTIFUL PAIR OF JOSIES!
I had imagined you two collaborating but this was even more than I could have imagined. Superlative adjectives here girls!
Josie B has that sultry, seductive voice that complements Josie C's perfectly.
Synergy means that the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. Something that few duos ever achieve. Well, you wonderful friends have arrived, most assuredly.
Thanks for sharing. Wow! We appreciate our wee Irishman and hope you are feeling better. Thank you very much Don. Josie

Another collaboration keeper:)
Very smooth with a pleasing groove. Excellent vocals and harmonies.
It is wild to hear a different interpretation of the song.
I'm suddenly remembering a scene from 'Sweet Dreams' when the producer and Patsy Cline transform Willie Nelson's "Crazy".

Thank you very much Scott and Dani! I got distracted by life and I'm sorry for taking this long to thank you both. And if I've missed thanking anybody - please know it wasn't intentional. I appreciate everyone who's listened and commented very much.
Joanne and I thank you all.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
