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.

Love the feel of the song. Deep solid tones and awesome groove. Love your vocal Janice which transcends genres. Peter your guitar work was very very cool. Love how you pulled the angst out of the low register of your guitar. Bud such a cool production. Love how you widen and bring clarity to the full sound spectrum of the song. Well done... 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! J&B

The drums are strong on this one! Not overly loud, just very present, in a good way. 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 . We appreciate every word! J&B

This is very cool and spooky. Great work.
The vocals, instrumentation and lyrics are haunting. I really enjoyed it!
Thank you David! J&B J&B and Peter,
Nice work on this one. Peter’s guitar solos shine as always and equally so Janice’s vocal. Solid write—“doubt’s shadow” is such a great phrase to build a song around. Well done, folks!
My best to you all,
Deej Thanks for all Deej and glad you liked the hook! J&B

Of course! or even better: wine!! Better than a nice craft IPA? J&B Haunting and melancholic.
Well done in all aspects.
Whatever the genre this is, it is something different and intriguing. A masterful composition. Thank you for listening and the nice comment! J&B

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.

J&B + Peter.
Rocket! Very interesting tune. Shines with all facets. Wow! Deep emotional vocals, strong lyrics, guitars (6!) Everything is in right places. No need for style classification, just good music. Congrats to team! Really liked this one. Thank you for sharing.
Misha. 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! J&B

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

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."
