Man, what an intro! Too cool for words.
Great vocals as per usual, that tone!
Nice guitar work, Peter, those volume swells are the cats meow. Modulation at the end was fun too.
Good one guys and gal, enjoyed the listen!

Peter / Leon / Janice,
Great song! I love the arrangement on this. Instrumentation and mix is really outstanding - some great guitar work.
As always, the vocal by Janice is flawless and on point. Killer intro...

Really nice job here! Janice's vocals here are on point, and I love the groove on this one. It reminds me of certain tunes by Feist, if you are familiar with her (not sure how popular she is outside of Canada). Really catchy, and easy on the ears. Great work, and thanks for sharing

Yep, great... intro, lyrics, singing, mix. As usual, Janice is stellar. I played some guitar solos. Hehe. Talk about understating your contribution. The unprepared modulation hits my by surprise each time I hear this. Cool!

Peter,Leon,J&B,
Yes, love that intro- Janice sounds like she enjoyed this ( interesting to hear how well done the doubled vocal is too).
Leon contributes some of the smartest lyrics on this forum and this is another excellent write.
Guitar playing is also right up there.
Take it to the bank!
Robert

jeez what a song ,geez what a singer ,But who mixed it .
There is a piano doing its stuff for the singer to get a flavoring from, yet to us listeners its too low.
Guitar stunning though I felt the bass and drums were low as well.
Don't attack guys I'm critiquing this on your level of production ,performance and past history.

Hello, Peter, Leon, Janice & Bud,
Good guitar playing and great arrangement!
I entirely agree with hearToLean.
Talk about and entrance! Janice, that intro was KILLER. Vocals fantastic.
It is a cool tune full of blues feel.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
