Just a beautiful song. Loved the lyric and the feel of the backtrack. Was mixed just perfect for my headphones. Just a delight to listen to. Janice’s vocal was excellent. Just kept you engaged with the lyric. Just loved Peters guitar work. Solo was just perfect for the song. The fills and embellishments just added so much to the song You hit on all the areas we hoped would would work well. Thanks for noting them and the nice comments about them! We appreciate the time to listen and write a thoughtful review. J&B

This is such a beautiful tune. Janice’s vocals are pristine, as I often say. Really loved the lyric, as well. Very relatable. Dig the percussion, as well. So good,
Dave

What a gorgeous song. The mix is excellent and I love the arrangement and the vocal. Great choice on those drums and the slide guitar is icing along with that cool echo on the ending. touching. Makes me want to hear it again. Well done.

I know I tend to use the words "atmosphere" and "mood" a lot; but I feel they are under-expressed in importance to a song. After all the "tech talk" is done; it boils down to the feeling a song creates...and My God this song does that. You know why and how, because you did it...so, I won't go into it...but I was blown away. Right down to the changing of effects on the vocal to emphasize both the lyric and meaning via sonic revelation was fantastic!
I love this song!
Top notch creating and capture of a feeling from ALL of you. Thank you for making and sharing this!

Beautiful simple arrangement. I like how the drums are so present and still not disturbing the overall laid back feel. And the solo is perfect. Great lyrics with 'ghosts of past' reflecting nicely the decaying hometown. And top of it all, excellent vocals.
Janne Thanks for the comments Janne. I agree Bud & Janice have written some very nice lyrics here. Peter

Janne Thank you for listening and offering the nice and supportive comments. We're glad you liked the drums as we were a bit ambivalent about them. We appreciate it all. J&B

Hello, Janice & Bud, Peter,
Really nice production! Super vocal and guitar! The melody and the chord progression are excellent. It reminds me of John Lennon's melody a little bit. I really like the chord progression. C - E7 - Am - Ab - C - G7... I like the usage of Ab. And I also like the blue note(Eb) at the end of the melody. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Shigeki, thank you very much. I must confess that the chord progression came in part from one of BiaB's song demos. And, yes, Janice really loved that Ab. And she was so happy that you mentioned her melody! J&B

Your best I've heard. Janice just shines on this. What a perfect voice for the music. And the music is fantastic. And peter was spot on with his guitar. If I mentioned all the superlatives that apply, this would be an incredibly long post. Excellent!
Alan
Thank you Al. Peter did ice it! Great hearing from you and we appreciate the kind comments. J&B Wow J&B another great tune! This has such great feel to it! There are so many little clever twists and turns in here! I was almost to the end of the song before I realized there was no vocal harmony backing up Janice's vocal but it's such an effective performance by her that it's not needed! You folks have produced a super song here! Almost forgot to mention, Peter's guitar work is so good in here! it sounds wonderful! Thanks, Torrey Thank you Torrey for noting Janice's vocal. We discussed harmony but decided to stay with the very sparse arrangement. We are delighted that you like it! J&B

This is one of the best things y'all have ever done. Each of you. That's saying a lot, since everything you do is good.
The write is excellent. Both lyrically and melodically.
The production is exquisite. The percussion, the bass, guitar and pedal - perfect.
Peter's guitar is a delight. Simple and Right. Perfect.
Janice's vocal is goose-bumpily. (That's a word I just made up. Just for this performance). Maybe her best of all time. That puts it in the stratosphere.
The mix is so good you don't even think about it.
This is BIG WOW kinda stuff.
fj I agree 1000%! If I heard this at a record store I would have purchased it right then and there. Thanks Mario! We have an album release coming up soon on Apple Music, Amazon, Pandora and Spotify. But, alas, nothing for the record store. They do still have them, don’t they?

Reading this offers us affirmation that perhaps we are on the “right” track with our gradual shift to more Americana productions. And, yes, ultimately it is all about the feeling - sometimes we lose sight of that lost in the tech stuff. We appreciate your thoughts very much. J&B

Lots to love here....Janice's Bonnie Raitt vocal!!! Peter's sweet licks!!!, and some great lyrics!!! I particularly like:
a courthouse clock with the wrong time store windows reflect ghosts of past parking meters stand like rusty sentinels nothing lasts nothing lasts
Great stuff guys!! Take care. Greg

Bonnie Raitt is one of Janice’s favorite singers and putting the two of them in the same sentence made Janice’s day! And thanks for mentioning the llyric. Bud

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."
