This song reminds me “Lonesome Whistle” of Hank Williams Jr. a little bit.

As ROG said, it's an absolute classic! A professional package that you should all be proud of.
Nice collaboration, enjoyed the listen!

Hi Shigeki Adachi,

Thank you for having a listen. I know that Janice and Bud will appreciate your comments just as much as I do. It was a real pleasure working with them. Now if only I knew how to orchestrate like you!

All the best,
Noel

Thanks for sharing this!

Hey Steve,

Hi PRADON,

Welcome to the thread. Thank you for having a listen. I have to say that the Joan Baez quality is entirely due to Janice! However I look at it, Janice is a world class singer in every way.

Thanks again,
Noel

Noel & Company -

Late on this one as usual, but ditto to what ROG said! He's a music professor, so he must know, right? grin

Excellent stuff. A 9000 mile collaboration.


Regards,

Bob


Bob,

Thanks! It's good to see you. And you're spot on... as the crow flies, it's a bit over 9,000 miles. I imagine that any crow flying that far would have to have pretty heavy duty wings.

Appreciate the visit.
Noel

The melody is a real standout. One of those that you feel you have known your whole life (like the perfect partner!).

Excellent arrangement and mix...supporting that gorgeous vocal perfectly (another perfect partnership!). All parts (instruments) are so clear - nice space.

A terrific collaboration.

Hey floyd,

I always smile when I see your name appear in a thread!

When I read Bud's hook, wheels in my mind started turning. He initiated everything. From there... all came together simply and easily. The melody belongs to Janice. She's done a great job and deserves all the accolades for this smile

Appreciate the kind words!

All the best,
Noel

Thank you! It was nice of you to mention the vocal. Noel wrote such a beautiful and very "singable" melody.

Hi Janice... I'm not sure what to say to this. All I know is that I cannot take credit where credit isn't due. It's true, I did send a draft melody across but that was in a completely different key and it was only a draft! The melody you sent back to me was significantly different and much better than what I gave you and Bud to work with. You have a wonderful sense musical flow. However I look at it, the final melody is due to you smile

Hope the sun is shining brightly on the other side of the equator.

All the best to you and Bud,
Noel

P.S. I'm not all that experienced at co-writing. One thing that I learnt this time around, though, is that once a song is completed, it's not easy to look back and to say who did what. Because one idea leads to another and this leads to even more, a thought from one person becomes a starting place for someone else and as ideas are tossed around and back and forth, they morph and grow and become a seamless patchwork quilt of individuals' contributions. I think that maybe the melody of 'Life's Lotto' is a bit of an example of this. My effort simply provided a beginning.

Thank you for passing by. Appreciate the listen and comments.

Janne


Hey Janne,

And you right! I guess I often look forward to "Tomorrow" in songs I write or help write. The future always seems to provide a good lyric material.

I'm really glad you isolated the lines, "How did fortune choose me? I haven't got a clue". I just love the way that Janice sings them. She's add a life and meaning to these words that's well beyond what's written.

Thanks for have a listen!

Regards,
Noel
