Hi Folks. For a long time I wanted to do a collaboration with Janice, but I felt the styles I was tinkering with might of not be her cup of tea. Finally I had the tune that I felt was right. Janice agreed. Bud recorded and mastered her vocals. Everything came together better than what I had hoped for. Janice & Bud thank you! P.S. I probably should not have been greedy and let Janice sing the whole tune  All feedback is welcomed. Thank you for listening! Treasures Lyrics: Clouds floating over pines, Playing riddles with your mind: Sad face, snail race, Tiger jumping through white flames, Mythical creatures that don't have names You can run, or you can hold still lay below grass, or walk on tall stilts Search for the treasures, deciphering symbols of past Snowflakes falling from the sky, make a wish before they die- Sad winter lullaby... Serpent patterns on window panes, stray dogs that don't have names. You can run, or you can hold still lay below grass, or walk on tall stilts Search for the treasures, deciphering symbols of past Snowflakes falling from the sky, melting on your face Bound to wander this beautiful maze, Counting the stars that have no names.

It's always a good day when you post a new song Misha.
Adding the divine Mrs M to the offering makes it's extra special.
The melancholy oozes from this and Janice sells that message beautifully within this very modern context.
What a melange - a full helping of spices.
You've written a few sad songs in recent times. I hope there's a chance & reason to pump the good vibes soon.
I do think the snare is a tiny bit too crisp though.
Cheers

No wonder this worked so well.
A team of excellent musicians combined to deliver clever lyrics and melody with wonderful variety.
The sax solo was the cake icing.
Bud, Janice and Misha made the team.

Man! So good, just a fabulous listen through the headphones, the intro especially.
Good vocal and Janice sounds awesome as usual, the way she phrases "lullaby" for example.
Well done Misha and Janice!

I don't know if the intro (first 40 secs) was deliberately bland but it cleverly disguised the treasures that were to come as the melody and lyrics unfolded. Nice!
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

When in doubt assume the best of intentions - to do otherwise is projection of a very unpleasant kind.

A beautiful mix.
Delicious listening.
Extraordinary music.

Beautiful collaboration. Janice was the perfect choice of a duet Misha. While both vocals were the stars of the song I must say the the backtrack and instrumenation was right up there as well. Perfect on all counts. Well done. Super mix as well.

Wow... what a treat! You're both such different singers, it's cool to hear two entirely different approaches. And the arrangement is cool, constantly shifting in unexpected ways. It sounds like nothing else on the forum. Fun listen!

FJ, Thank you for listening and kind words! --- Scott, Thank you for giving this time and your positive feedback here and on SC! --- Mario, Thank you for for support! --- David, Thank you for listening and extra special feedback! The only difference is, Janice is a singer and I am not so much, but at the end it worked out

Always enjoy your creations, Misha. Love the dreamy/floaty feeling on the chorus. Janice brings her usual brilliance to enhance an already beguiling production.
