Lawrence & J&B,
This is some sweet stuff! The light delicate nature of the song give such a beautiful feel to it! The vocals are excellent (lead and harmony) as is the wonderful arrangement! Everybody ought to love this one! T Thank you! J&B

Fun!!! I didn't hear the original, but this had me hooked. And Janice's harmonies added the perfect amount of colour and spice to the texture, especially when she was singing those sevenths to the bassline, if that makes any sense. Nice!!! :-)

A super summer song. And bringing in Janice is always a plus! Her vocals and harmonies are exquisite. And your lead vocal is a perfect match for the music. Nice lyric and an equally great musical backing. The lead guitar riff was bold and added a new dimension that works perfectly. Really, really superb listen! Take care ...
Alan Thank very much for the kind words.

Cool narrative and arrangement.
Really solid main vocals and a set of harmony vocals that surprise with the excellent, path less trodden phrasing and note perspective.
With just the main vocal it'd be a very successful recording but with Janice along it lift into wow land. Thanks Ray! All our collaborations with Lawrence have been a pleasure. J&B

Hey... glad I dropped in on this. Nice song.... kind of reminded me of CSN a bit.
Yep, I like this song.
A buddy of mine....Danny.... you might recall that he recorded a few songs in my studio last year, lived for a year or so on a moored sail boat. It lacked a workable mast so sailing wasn't an option.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

This was on my "to hear" list for some time.
Lawrence and crew,
Fun tune full of positive energy! Interesting lyrics / idea. Great vocals and those harmonies... Janice made this tune dance. Super production! Listens very well. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
This song has kinetic energy: It keeps moving along nicely. I enjoyed the whole song, but I especially liked the luscious vocal harmonic textures after the caesura. That was a big wow! Nicely done, You must have had a good producer  I'm a sucker for anything to do with water & boats. You need a bigger boat! Nice song, well put together. Janice's vocals put the wind in the sails. moto Thanks guys for commenting on the harmony. It’s so easy to blend with his voice and his lyrics always draw me in. Janice

Lawrence,
Stunning work. A nice "breezy" sound!
Great lead vocal and a beautiful harmony vocal by Janice.
As Scott says, very cool intro. Loved the pause before you jumped into the song.
And it also reminded me a bit of early Billy Joel.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

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."
