Hi Janice & Bud!
Great song. It's almost as if Chrissie Hynde decided to do a country ballad. Very well put together song and superb instrument playing. As always, a very professional sounding song. But I've pretty much come to expect as much from you folks.

Scott, we could not ask for more. You mentioned all of the objectives we could have had hoped to achieve. We greatly appreciate your comments!

Although this is very musical - excellent guitar work, expressive vocal performance - this felt very much like spoken words. I put this down to Janice's emotive singing, with her focused on imbuing each word with as much meaning as possible, as well as a very supportive band (and mixer) who put her performance front and center.

Thanks David. Those drum tracks made my (Bud) head spin. Glad you liked them. Janice much appreciated your vocal comments. As Bud says she’s a bit of a method actor when it comes to each song. She gives her all and walks away from it after recording. But of course I’m quite biased smile. We appreciate every word!

My best to you all,

Deej


Thanks for all Deej and glad you liked the hook!

A haunting lyric. An even MORE haunting melody. COOL song!!

"In my shadow the memories drift slowly by
Everywhere I turn there are too many voices
All my family and friends are trying to offer help
When I listen they shout out too many choices"

Nice.

Awesome sound. Great BAND. Peter's guitar work is terrific. Love that outro...

Exquisite vocal!! Such a pro...

Gorgeous mix.

Haunting Cover Art!!

Stunning. As usual.

Thank you Misha. My mixing skills (such as they are) were taxed by this project. It was somewhat above my track limit pay grade:) We appreciate your comments and thanks for the lyric mention!

Speechless and humbled by that. Had we achieved but a third of what you mentioned we’d be pleased.

The three of us thank you very much!

Hi Janice, Bud and Peter,

This song aches with exquisite moodiness. Wow! The ambience—created by the arrangement, Janice's superb singing, Peter's skillful playing, the heartfelt lyrics and the well-considered production—frames emotional turmoil intensely and to perfection. I don't know how to even begin writing a song like this. Authenticity abounds in every aspect, every nuance.

"Without you I struggle to find my next step
"Without you the days seem to grow longer
"I do not want to leave doubt’s shadow
"It’s a safe harbor where my hope can linger"

The Longer/Linger relationship really caught my attention. It's perfectly placed to amplify the intensity of the turmoil of the lead character.

First class work by everyone and in every way!

All the best,
Noel

Noel, thank you for all of those comments and I (Bud), in particular, thank you for what you noted about the lyric. Writing does not come easy to me and hearing those remarks from a very skilled lyricist is most inspiring!
