not exactly sure how you did that, but it's superb!

Outstanding from the intro with Peter's guitar to the ending with just Janice. Loved it!


Thanks Dave. We are glad you like the little bridge. floyd arranged it and I applied different amounts of Nectar's reverb, delay and compression on each the three vocal parts that make it up. Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't but thought in this case we felt it sounded pretty good.

Hi Team,

Your stuff is SO consistently good that I'm running out of things to say.

Having said that, this has to be one of my favourites.

The mood is established from the very start by Peter's delicate guitar and than carried
through beautifully by Janice's emotive vocal.

Clever, well crafted lyrics, a super backing track and an excellent mix complete the package.

Loved the whole thing.

ROG.

Hi Janice and blud,

It's a beautiful ballad song. The instruments are all in their place and the perfect mix. Nectar is a good fx.

Best regard

Hi Bud, Janice, Floyd and Peter,

Your band is becoming more and more impressive with all those musicians participating in this cool song.
You sing beautifully subdued, Janice! And the chorus is very nice.
The composition and lyrics are also strong, but who could even think it wouldn't with this buch of gus working on it.
I can't find more words to express how well you performed in this song.
Oh, one thing... I haven't heard something wrong on the drums. to me all is a plus!

Somewhere in heaven Janice, Bud, Floyd and Peter lives.

I agree with Dave;that little vocal treatment on "callin` callin" is sublime!

Very good work from all four collaborators.

Robert



Thank you Robert. All credit to floyd for those lines. And, yes, we feel the same about Peter’s guitar. And we appreciate that mention of the vocal treatment. Glad it worked for you!

Nice to hear another angle to the old subject. I almost wrote 'angel', because Janice sings like an angel interpreting the fallen angel really credibly, her voice is pure magic at the closing time. The open ending is very nice addition. Perfect sounding mix and enjoyable guitar playing.

Yes, definitely a Floyd write: "a slippery slope a wayward path/so i was bound to face an angel's wrath" --Gold!

Vocal and guitar, both excellently performed. I like Janice's slide up into "side."

Solid production!

Thank you for the positive and thoughtful comments. Hats off to floyd for that line and the mention of Jackson Browne is humbling. We appreciate it!

As someone who has messed up a lot of things, to include relationships, I can have empathy with who ever this song is about. The music and vocals were, as I expected, really well done. The lyrics were as I said, something I unfortunately can identify with. Also, something that I haven't seen mention is that the songs vocal rhythm (cadence?) sounds like (to me) Don McLean's American Pie. Really thoughtful and well put together.
Thanks for posting it...

Brilliant guys , I never know who to praise Except Janice for vocals , but I guess that's the music industry for you !!.

Great write and as always mix/production in my cans sounding awesome, your over all sound is in a sense pure !!.

I did feel the lead guitar a bit distracting during Janice's vocals in the verses , as I just did not see the reason for it too be there ?.

Great to hear another from you and bud setting the bar even Higher !!.

Take care.

Thanks
