That familiar Janice lilt passes, carrying with it a lovely lyric. "Changes" indeed, reflected in the many "changes" in the progression (intended or not). Solid band and mix with some seasonal seasoning from Peter. All told, a sweet way to pass the listen. Very much enjoyed.

This gives me a sense of the Rita Coolidge and other stuff happening around the Mad Dog's tour...not the swirling in the centre but the calm, gentle pretty stuff that ached for Woodstock's forest cabins and searched for Bonnie & Delaney's spirit. I agree. Janice's vocal is awesome as usual. Peter's guitar is like icing on the cake and of course Bud is the perfect baker. Outstanding song.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Your unique and highly anticipated signature shines again through this ballad.
I particularly liked the vocal harmonies and backing vocals, really enjoyable, and gave depth.
Well done. Thank you. We appreciate your kind supportive words! J&B

Slow and contemplative - lots of space for the instruments.
Excellent vocals (of course) and guitar (also of course).
It's got a bit of the early Jackson Browne feel.
I really liked the "echo" harmony bits.

Hello Lady and Gentlemen ...
Gosh, so pretty and perfectly arranged.... a listener's delight. melancholy, as I think this lyric is, doesn't have top be overtly sad in every case. In this song, melancholy and pretty are a great marriage.
All the usual kudos about the talent you folks have ... I have run out5 of new words to annotate the splendid music you gives us. A wonderful listen.
Best to all of you and please be safe ...
Alan

Hi Janice, Bud and Peter,
A beautiful song in all its facets; the composition, lyrics, vocals and band. But you are most likely, used to those qualifications. All your songs are. But this song is so more personal and that is what you (I) hear in the way you sing it and play it. 'Time passes, things change', I rewrote it a bit: Time may pass, but you stay! That's all I can say (rhymes too, but doesn't belong to theformer line). Nice song, nice thoughts and well brought. Maybe, just maybe... a tiny pedal steel in it?
Stay safe there, Hans Thanks Hans! "Time Passes, Things Change" is what our old friend used to say so we used those exact words to honor him. Glad you liked it. J&B

I Love your singing voice Janice. You have that unique quality in your voice which enables you to sing _TO_ rather than _AT_ the listener which results in a much more engaging and pleasurable listening experience. Not many singers can achieve this.

What a lovely song and message in the lyric. Beautiful vocal Janice. Peters guitar in the background was so delicate and complimentary. I am so glad you included the equipment specifications Bud uses to mix and produce your songs. I taking a deep diving into the mixing world and this is very useful for me. Your mixes as always so clear and so easy to pick out each individual instrument in the song but blended so tastefully. Thank you Scott. You mentioned all the aspects we work hard to achieve and that is appreciated. If you ever have a question about our production tools just send us a pm. J&B

Beautiful! Simply beautiful. Just the right amount of melancholy, just the right amount of hope within that melancholic sound, too. Wistful and a masterful achievement. I loved it - thank you. Actually, thank YOU! J&B

Nice to read how a simple phrase turned into very lovely lyrics, irrevocability in the chorus, but so relieving to read the last line of the last verse: "keep the spirit strong things are gonna be alright". The simple arrangement fits the flow of the words, Peter's gentle playing, Janice's relaxed singing and the fresh sounding chording complete the creative package, you are really making your own way.
Janne

Ray, that is one of the most meaningful and thought provoking responses we have ever received in our seven years here. We are very appreciative. J&B

Heard this when you first uploaded to SC a while back. Loved it then and love it now!
Everything about this works, from Peters guitar work (perfect) to Janice's vocal (especially like what she did for the BG vox) to the write, the arrangement, and the mix.
This is right up there with your best and is very, very good indeed! Thank you Dave. And Janice really appreciates you mentioning the BGV’s. They were worked Out as a bit of an afterthought. We appreciate you listening and commenting! J&B

Beautiful and stately, in a melancholy way. Fantastic vocal and arrangement. ++Guitar work. Loved it! Thanks. Your first sentence describes our objective and we appreciate you noting that! J&B This gives me a sense of the Rita Coolidge and other stuff happening around the Mad Dog's tour...not the swirling in the centre but the calm, gentle pretty stuff that ached for Woodstock's forest cabins and searched for Bonnie & Delaney's spirit. I dig ray's comment on this! Nail-on-the-head. Excellence abounds. A good write - lyric and melody. It has the comforting sound and message that a good "graveside song" has. A musical eulogy. The BAND sounds great (of course). Peter's guitar fits perfectly (of course). Janice sings like an angel (of course). Excellent mix (of course). Of course. fj Thank you floyd for listening, for the nice review and, most significantly, for your counsel and support over the years. It’s much appreciated. J&B

Janice, Bud & Peter,
A new favorite for me...
Love the sentiment of this song and the flowing instrumentation. It really wraps itself around the lyric and delivery.
No words to describe the vocal by Janice, except simply stellar.
A brilliant production.
Bob

Nice and slow. Flows like a river. Caught me by surprised when ended Fundamental message that never retires. Janice, your vocals shine on this. I like your voice on slower tunes like this ballad or blueses. Peter's guitar is smooth and sits very well. Bud, I do not know how you do it. Seems no matter of genre or instruments, your tunes always sound good. Great teamwork! Thank you for sharing. Misha.

For me, this is simply one of your best. I like everything about it. Peter's guitar is tasteful and the perfect tone for the song. Vocals, harmonies are spot on. And Bud, you must have been watching the perfect sunset while writing the lyrics.... whatever set the mood, it worked... Enjoyed this from start to finish. Great write, performance, arrangement and production. Thanks Charlie. We know this ain’t your first rodeo - you’ve been in this business a long time and have been successful. So that makes your remarks even more meaningful. We appreciate it. J&B

Always a treat to hear your music. I enjoyed listening.
Well done by all.
