No man is an island and life is better when shared. A love song wrapped in 3/4 time.

Hi Tom.
A simple story, skilfully told.
A fabulously rich backing supporting a wonderfully expressive vocal delivery.
Tom, you just keep on getting better... and then, of course there's Janice!

What a gorgeous song! And yes the backing vocals are lovely. Great job!
BTW, I don't think the soundclick link works. You may want to check that.
Great song though!!

Tom Very pretty song - nice lyrics - and a superb arrangement. Vocals both lead and backing were spot on and on top of that a lovely acoustic guitar.

Great job as usual Tommy. The simplicity of the style is beautifully offset by the melody, and great harmonies.
The pedal steel sits perfectly in the mix.
Very nice

I enjoyed the storyline. Great write, mix, performance and arrangement at every level. The forum songs are getting so good that whoever eventually figures out the streaming scheme or how to integrate the User Forum as one of the 50 new features in 20XX version of BIAB may be the next dot.com billionaire. PGMusic (aka- Callie) are you listening?

You always blow me away with your production skills. That being said, the song is great! Your vocals are great and I like the lyrics. The big boys don't have anything on you. By the way, do you know Mike Hedrick? He is very much like you in that he plays so many instruments...the pedal is his best know instrument. He has a recording studio in Jasper, TN not far from here in Chattanooga. We used him on one of ours albums when I was in a Southern Gospel Quartet. Sonny

Gorgeous writing, Tom.
"I’m simply amazed when I look down these days The view’s so much better up here"
The very small number of words used to get to that point and make it so very powerful is a true lesson in "writing small". ZOWIE.
Your productions have gotten too good to even talk about.
Janice is...well.. Janice - what more needs to be said.
It's scary how good you have gotten.
A fan.

Good and effective writing here Tom! The 3/4 works very well, so does Janice's smooth backing vocal.

A sweet, simple love song, so beautifully written and delivered!! Wonderful, heartfelt sentiment in the lyric, a Tom Adams (aka top notch) mix, and a vocal that no one (absolutely no one) could do better. Awesome!! Merry XMAS Tom!! Greg

Tom, What an amazing song with such an amazing sound! This is as professional as anything written, arranged and produced anywhere. You and Janice are a perfect musical combination. As you've probably already picked up, much of my focus these days is on words. I'm a great admirer of lyric skill. When I listened to "That Night", I heard a textbook example of how to - develop lyrics
- focus lyrics on a single theme
- keep the tone conversational
- engage the listener
- make the listener feel like the song was written especially for him or her
To accomplish so much with so few words and to wrap it up in the elegance of simplicity is a huge compliment to your ability. Heading back for another listen now... Happy Christmas, Noel

I am familiar with Mike Headrick. He has been in the steel guitar community for quite a long time now. Great player and teacher. Tom Hi Tommy,

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."
