Janice, Bud & Floyd
"Ways Of Forgetting" is a sincere, well-produced track from The Mysterines Janice, Floyd and Bud. 💯 ♪♩ 𝓟𝓻𝓸 ♬
Izzy Thanks all the supportive and kind comments … but I’m not so sure we’ve found the punk grunge sound of the Mysterines yet! 😀 J&B

Hi Janice, Bud, and Floyd,
I don't know the earlier versions (yet), but this song is really excellent.
The vocals take it to a whole new level. Great work, Janice.
IZZY writes in his comment that the song doesn't use AI. I'd say that AI would fare pretty poorly compared to Janice's vocals and Floyd's songwriting...
Great work, guys!
Andi :-)

Excellent collaboration...full of beauty and wistfulness. Janice sounds like a "female Bob Dylan" here and there with her treatment on the lyrics.

The Dynamic Duo pairs with the Fabulous Uno. And thus ... the Terrific Trio.
To parse out all the goodness in this one would take the rest of my night. Everything works exactly as it should. What can you say about Janice's voice? Those complementary words haven't yet made their appearance in any dictionary I know of.
One thing that really made me smile even bigger - the soft yet clear tone of the fiddle. Fiddle RTs can be a challenge to find a tone that isn't mushy or shrill, but yet is clear and explicit. Nicely done!
Y'all know what you're doing when it comes to music. And I would suppose, a few other things in life.
Alan Thank you AL. We always much appreciate your kind words and support. Thank for very aspect you commented on. We're glad you liked the fiddle. The FX is a tweaked strings preset from Waves Unplugged that we much like. J&B

Let's clear this up.... When it comes to songwriting, credit should be given where credit is due. Many of the comments on the lyrics seem to imply that I might be somehow more responsible than Bud. Not true. By a long shot. As I recall, (and that is not necessarily a reliable thing these days) Bud sent me a fairly complete lyric. Well thought out. A lot of good lines, phrases, ideas. IF anything was "lacking" it was a little spit-n-shine. Final polish. (well...and a melody) I've had a lot of experience co-writing. With writers of all level. From Pro hit-writers to people who had no clue whatsoever. (An awful lot of people who end up in Nashville are really bad writers. Most go home right away.) I've done co-writes where I'm simply smoothing things - and co-writes where I have been given little more than a title or an idea and I write the whole thing. A good idea or title is worth a lot. At the time of this co-write, I think Bud might have written 10 songs (probably an exaggeration, but perhaps not) But he was FAR from clueless. I don't remember how this went exactly, but what I did was "take out the bumps". Just make sure that it "falls on the ear" the way it should and says what is intended without unnecessary extras. Little things. Much of that comes with experience. Good songwriters learn quickly. Bud understood all the changes. He picked those things up quickly and incorporated them into his writing. To improve as a songwriter only 2 things have to happen. You have to know that you are not quite there and you have to pay attention and figure out why (or have someone help with that). Recognize your faults and fix 'em. After about 3 songs like that, Bud no longer needed any help whatsoever. One or 2 "bigger points" and a bunch of "small detail stuff" and he was off-and-running... And I benefit from someone else's way of thinking. Bud writes phrases that would not occur to me. Bud deserves most of the credit here. (If I recall correctly...  ) fj I feel bad that some folks will not read this (if they do not re-visit threads). I would have put this up right away, but we have been traveling (again. my wife just won't stay home. and I can't convince her to go alone)

Perfect vocals, and those harmonies take them to a whole new level. Fantastic work by everyone involved ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) I think one day I'll have to listen to my old stuff too, to see what I can do with it with what I've learned since then.

Oh, yeah, every song you guys do has everything I ever love in a song. Great write, good feeling, excellent lyrics and a catchy melody, OUTSTANDING vocals, and a soloist that captures the mood and makes it sing, and then wrap all of that goodness into the perfect mix. Man, I love those lyrics! Thank you Marty, it was a fun re-do. We appreciate all you said and more thanks for including your thoughts on the lyric. J&B

Janice, Bud and Floyd.
This is absolutely brilliant. The first thing that grabbed me was the production.
Bud, your revised mastering chain is incredible. The overall sound is rich and has a 3-D depth and spread to it that really made me feel like I was sitting in the middle of the performance. I listened through headphones as well as through speakers and the production is magical in both situations.
Janice, your singing never stops amazing me. This particular backing really showcases your outstanding ability. The warmth and depth of your voice, and the sincerity of your performance, all shine brightly in this presentation.
Floyd, your arrangement is superb. And those lyrics that you and Bud have written are first class. I love the story and I love the way it develops. The chorus resonates with melancholy and tugs at the heartstrings.
I thoroughly enjoyed this journey.
--Noel

Honestly, I don't remember hearing this by anyone before today.
This is certainly dead center of the J&B wheelhouse. Instantly recognizable if I didn't know.
The overall soundscape is good. What really caught my attention was the piano. That was a very good sounding piano track. I've not used the SMT's before but this is a good impetus to investigate them closer.
Good overall job on this remix. Glad you liked it and the piano. This song won me over on MST’s years ago. Logic Pro has many piano sounds but their Grand Steinway is what we use most of the time. That sound and our user created piano preset for Waves Unplugged seem to get the job done. J&B

Exceptional song. The second verse is expertly crafted. Janice's alto brings out the sentiment of the lyrics. Mix sounds perfect.

Gee, "guys", this is amazin'!!! Aside from the obvious deliciousness of a magical write in the hands of a gifted interpreter and a master producer, you've really done a great job crafting an all-BiaB (I think?) backing track. The opening piano with fingerstyle guitar grabbed me right away, and the rest of the song never let go.
Ya'll are each a superlative talent, and together you're...well, did I say amazin'? Worth repeating. AMAZIN' song! Thanks for the supportive review! Yes it is all BiaB but I did some cut/paste work on the MST piano track. We've done 80+ collabs with floyd although most were swapping vocal tracks. Of the actual co-writes we've done this is one of our favorites so we are very happy it worked for you. J&B

I started here in 2019 so this is new to me. A very good song with very good lyrics, needless to say. Starts out like a Jackson Browne tune from Saturate Before Using, but quickly becomes its very own goodness. Of course, Janice's singing delivers the message poignantly. And it all sounds great through my Sennheiser 600HD headphones. Great work, team! Hey, any mention of Jackson Browne is good. We are fans. Glad you like it and also that it sounded good on the cans. Much appreciated, J&B

This song overflows with talent. Floyd has crafted a wistful melody which Janice sings like only she can - skillfully, convincingly and with all her heart. "old ways of forgetting don't work/no matter how i try" are lines that go far beyond usual heartbreak songs. And Bud has mixed all so that everything is crystal clear and punchy. The arrangement is pretty simple, but is shows how important each instrument is, the fiddle feels especially tailored for this song, which naturally shows the versatility of BIAB.

This is beautiful. I can hear both Floyd's and your musical touch in there, for sure! The lyrics are wry and wistful ... i.e. wonderful So much talent ... wow. Janice sings at her best, once more (when doesn't she? ). She sounds so clear and crisp, which complements her slightly mellismatic style of singing. And the texture of the mix sounds so transparent ... what I am to say? You've done it again ... a wonderful, wonderful song and production ... well done. Reading a review like this makes it all worthwhile. Thank you … very much. J&B

Excellent collaboration...full of beauty and wistfulness. Janice sounds like a "female Bob Dylan" here and there with her treatment on the lyrics. Thank you for noting the wistfulness as that was an outcome we hoped for. Now on to Dylan for whom we are long time fans. We’ve received many reviews from the cassette days to the present and we have to say this is the first time Janice’s vocals have been compared to him. 😀 J&B
