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 Thank you! It was fun working up a melody for those lyrics. And fun again singing it. Janice

I really admire Leon's songwriting talent, once again simple but deeply touching lyrics, I'm sold for lines like "Some stories finish way, way too soon" and "Some acorns never get to be an old oak tree". And when the story is put to the light pop-rock mold, my favorite genre, I cannot stop listening... modulation and slow down in the end are extra cherries.
Peter's soloing is heartbreakingly beautiful, perfect match for the song. Janice's melody is excellent and her singing remind me strongly of Chrissie Hynde and songs like Back On The Chain Gang and Don't Get Me Wrong.
The mix is so balanced and polished that I surely can see all my flaws reflecting from it. I very rarely repost anything on SoundCloud, but you have once again made me do it, congratulations!
Janne Janne Thanks for the wonderful review. We all appreciate those kind words and sentiments. Very much appreciated. 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

Janice's vocals really stand out here, and the lyrics are really well written and thought out. "Won’t hear no music without vibration, Every little triumph deserves a celebration, Every act of kindness is worth its weight in gold, When I’m with you I’m not afraid of growing old" is definitely my favourite part. Overall a really awesome arrangement. Thanks for sharing! Ember Glad you liked it and appreciate the comments. 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

Hello PeterF,
Composition really well built. The vocals are splendid and the lyrics excellent. The very careful arrangement follows a series of pleasant chords. The solo of the guitar very rich in variation. I had a great time listening to your composition. Well done
Kindly regard Dero13 alias JaniJackFlash Thanks a lot for those comments. Peter

Janne Thank you Janne. Yes, the write was lovely and Peter’s playing was so emotive. And it was so nice of you to mention Chrissie - wow! Thanks! Janice

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.

Lovely song performed marvelously by all involved! Janice always boosts a song's appeal when she adds her touch. Loved the playing and effects used on the guitar Peter! Take care, T Thanks Torrey - I agree Janice transforms the song. 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...

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

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 Mario appreciate that. Peter

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."
