Hi Janice and Bud,
I think everyone here wrote you never fail to please all listeners/forummembers and I'm with them.
You made a very nice sung with a hopeful ending (in the lyrics).
Your BG-vocals sound more 'special' in this song, Janice. I really liked that, although I always liked your songs...
The idea for Zero is a very nice one. Hadn't heard it, but I will certainly use it overhere. Even in Dutch it sounds great ;-)
Enjoyed it a lot!
Hans

Every time I think "A few more zeroes would be nice..." what I get is Zero. Zero. Zero.
That amounts to nothing.
Killer Groove! A cool "pulse". Interesting drums.
Peter does some of his best guitar work ever. Nice.
Janice is excellent - as always.
Cool harmonies.
Good write. Lyrics and melody.
Excellent mix (needless to say).
fj Thank you mr jane! Glad you like the groove … went back and forth on it. We all appreciate the nice comments! J&B

Hi Janice & Bud and PeterF,
Nice melody and perfect symbiosis between Janice's voice and Peter's guitar. It's very pleasant to listen to and the mix is perfect. Well done.

Hey Guys, Very nice. Janice's vocal & BGV's sound great! (does she ever not sound great!) Also thought the instrumentation and mix were well done... I often ponder panning as well.  Peter's guitar tracks are outstanding... Very tasty! Great Job! Greg Thank you Greg for the kind remarks. And glad to have a fellow pan ponderer  J&B

I'm late to this party but as usual extremely glad I came!
The dynamic foursome does it again in producing an all pro winner.
Everything I wanted to say already has been said so all I can add is you are all professional musicians.
Loved it.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

I’ve often said winning the lottery is a great way to screw up your life. I think billionaires live by the credo of Money’s not everything but it’s way ahead of whatever’s in second place. I have a few friends from high school who managed to hit it really big and every time I’ve talked to them all they want to talk about is money. I found that very sad. So having said all that, great concept, well written, good arrangement and the mix is spot on. Janice again delivers the goods with the melody, harmonies and delivery. Peter steps up with some of his most complimentary guitar. Love the volume swells! You three come through again,Tom Thank you Tom. We are all glad you liked it and much appreciate your remarks. “Money’s not everything but it’s way ahead of whatever’s in second place.” There might be a song there! J&B

There's more than a little snark in this song.  Excellent singing by Janice, tasty guitar from Peter. Nicely balanced mix from Bud - everything is clear and even. Nice work, all! Snark? Us? I (Bud) confess to dragging the other two into the land of snarkiness via my lyric. Glad you liked it and we all appreciated the kind remarks. J&B

Janice and Bud (and Peter):
Terrific tune—has a little bit of an Eagles feel to me (with a touch of The Carpenters on that chorus). Seems to me a song like this should earn you more than a few zeroes . . . Great write and vocal, and your usual outstanding production. Perfectly mixed and balanced. Wonderful solos by Peter (particularly that bit at the 2:50 mark). Excellent!
All my best,
Deej

Janice waxes philosophical about the end-times and the band is down with it.
From what we have seen of the current iteration, this is a departure, but this little bird told me it thinks maybe you've done this style, in the past. Oh, that guitar chop is amazing.
Thanks for the spin and nice comments Ed. The style just sorta came about from noodling around with adding and removing tracks to see what worked with the Americana drums. Peter nailed the vibe with his guitar tracks. It was fun. Bud

Nice to hear a pop song from you for a change and to notice how you all excel also in this category, fresh and original tune. Melancholy story with many nice lines like "friends are running while the hour glass runs dry". I really like the chord progression, especially in the solo part, where Peter's playing and pleasant guitar sound shine brighter than ever. Very professional work from the singing/harmonies to the mixing.
Janne Janne, thanks for the lyric mention along with Janice's vocals/progression and Peter's guitar. And Bud appreciates the mix comment as it was a challenge! Thank you! J&B

J&B,
Love the tune! The rhythmic change to start the first verse is very effective! The vocals are super again supporting the excellent lyrics! The guitar parts are really hitting where they should and are a great addition to the song! The overall sound is great and produced very well! I enjoyed it!
Thanks, T Thank you Torrey. You create great productions so your comments are special! J&B

Deej Deej, we greatly appreciate your kind and thoughtful review! Being mentioned in the same paragraph with the Eagles is humbling. And of course with Janice being a contralto we love the Carpenters. J&B J&B

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."
