Love the groove happening with this one, right in the pocket.

Nice write (and mix), Bud, and Janice sounds great as per usual. Love your tone, Peter! And the volume swells too, perfect for the song.

You three never disappoint, another great song!

P.S. Cool ending too BTW.

This song is trying to disprove that and goes some way to show it.

The mix is good and Peter's guitar part fits very well. Janice contributes her excellent vocal signature.
Well done all.

Thanks Vic for the interesting quote and the nice supportive review.

Cool song idea, and excellent lyrics. You guys never fail to please. Janice, all of those vocals are crazy good and very creative. Peter, your guitar work is always top-notch and perfect for the song --whatever kind of song. I particularly enjoyed your taste on the solo. 5 guitar tracks for one song and then another from BiaB. Outstanding mix, Bud. All my zeros are at the beginning of my bank balance, not the end. And I must say, life does look grand through all those zeros, and it sounds better because of what you guys do.


Enjoy whatever happens!

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).

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. crazy
Peter's guitar tracks are outstanding... Very tasty!

Great Job!

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

This was as always a fun project to be involved in. It's a treat coming up with the guitar parts and hearing what Bud does with them.

Thanks to everyone who has mentioned my part in this.

Always appreciated.

There's more than a little snark in this song. wink

Excellent singing by Janice, tasty guitar from Peter. Nicely balanced mix from Bud - everything is clear and even.

Nice work, all!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

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.

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.

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
