Leon, Peter, Janice, Bud...
A strong write. One of your best, Leon. Very commercial.
And a very commercial melody, Janice (one of your best, too, I think).
An excellent BAND. A "radio sound". (one of my favorites from the group - y'all might need to come up with a band name).
And to top it off...might be my favorite Peter guitar work - also has "commercial appeal".
This should be the first single from the album.
Excellent listen.
fj I agree with all that!!! I love this kind of philosophical and yet fun lyric!! This is just a fun, feel good song that also has depth.....something for everyone, and so well sung and played!! BRAVO!!!!! Take care. Greg Thanks Greg. Peter

Nicely done! I like how Leon extended the conceit throughout the song. Feel good all the way. Musically, this is so appealing and right in my listening alley, so to speak. Musicianship, singing, production, all top notch. We appreciate your comments thanks. Peter

Hi Peter,
when I read 'Janice on Lead Vocals' (before listening) that little devil inside whispered, 'Janice on vocals? That's what I call playing it safe.'(I'm sure you will agree on that). But this song stands for itself with great lyrics, Leon, very (!) nice work on the guitarsm perfectly arranged, Peter.
And than Janice who I've admired like no other ever since I heard her for the first time... that fits like a satin glove.
No doubt that this is an ace collab, hats off!
Stay well and take care,
Stefan Stefan We really appreciate such nice comments. Hope all is well. Peter

All four of your are at the top your respective games on this one. Leon’s lyrics are among his best, Janice nails the melody and gives a perfect vocal performance. Bud’s engineering and mixing input allow Peter to put a terrific production in place. And Peter, your playing is your best performance and the guitar tone was perfect. Topped off with a quality modulation. Wow this one hits all the notes. Way to go, Tom Thanks Tom. We all appreciate your comments and ongoing support. Peter

Super song! Outstanding vocals. Great lyrics and melody. Mesmerizing solo guitar work. What a clear sound. Such a great recording and mix. My hat is off to all of you. Bravo! Thanks for those kind words. Peter WOWZA,
I really enjoyed the progression and arrangement.
The Peter guitar is fantastic.
The melody & phrasing combined with THAT voice and THOSE harmonies are fanmazing.
Combined with an excellent narrative this gumbo is EXCELLENT.
My ears must be in freak mode tonight becasue, unusually for J & B, I heard some sibilance in the vocal...the only part that I'd suggest addressing is at 2.21.
Loved it. Thanks Ray always appreciate your comments and suggestions. Peter

Y'all just come up with the sweetest sounding tunes!
And let me tell ya, Janice could sing the phone book and it would sound good! So when you get a song that is put together as well as this one with some really clever analogies.
Yep another keeper.
Great sound
Thanks for posting, I enjoyed the listen... Much appreciated. Peter

Cool. I jumped right in and pushed play when I saw your name, Peter. Then I heard one of my favorite singers. Man, I love the collabs you guys do. Every piece of this masterpiece rings professional. Great job, Peter, Janice & Bud!!! Whenever you three do a collaboration I know that I am in for some mighty fine ear candy and WOW this is so sweet!
Everything is perfect here. If I didn't know better I would swear this was done in a professional studio, it is that good!
Outstanding work! Thanks. Yep, Peter did a great job with the production! Janice

Hello Peter, Leon, Janice and Bud,
This was a very nice example of working together on a song, or cohab. It brought us a very nice song!
Everything fit exactly, while Janices' wonderful voice glued it all togheter. Well done
And the lyrics, what a nice way of telling you love and need someone in your life!
Like (all) others, I enjoyed listening to it,
Hans
Thanks Han, Janice has a wonderful knack of transforming songs. Peter

Hi All ...
WOW! What a great song in all respects! Sounds better than about 100% of what I'm hearing on the airwaves these days. Noy gonna parse it out except to specifically mention the key modulation ... loved it!
Everyone did their part as good as could be done. very commercial and true ear candy!
Best to all of you. Take care and be safe. Happy Thanksgiving ...
Alan

Hi Peter + J&B,
Simply beautiful.
Heartfelt lyrics with a wonderful heartfelt delivery by Janice.
Loved the harmony, Janice - perfect sync too, which I know takes a lot of work.
Super tasteful guitar work Peter and some professional engineering Bud.
Loved it.
ROG.
