Very beautiful folk song, I really like that fiddle, it has that nice mourningful Celtic sound. And on top of that other carefully selected instruments, nice chording, Janice's excellent interpretation and simple touching lyrics…
Janne Thanks Janne. Yep, Tom really made that fiddle loop a standout track! J&B

Janice, Bud and Tom,
This is a really stunning work of art.
If this were the Olympics, Tom's 'heavy lifting' would definitely put him in the gold medal position of his weightlifting category. His lyrics, his arrangement, his playing and his producing are stunning. As I listened, everything about this resonated with me.
Equally, Janice's melody is an absolutely wonderful treat as it travels alongside Tom's harmony. It's ups and downs carried me smoothly and felt very, very comfortable on my ears. Like Tom's work, Janice's vocals were also in a gold-medal category all of their own. Every syllable that Janice sang was crystal clear and so very easy to listen to -- Bud, your engineering is superb!
Truly, what a beautiful song!
All the best,
Noel

I'm late in listening to this top notch performance so besides quoting Floyd (I couldn't say this any better) all I can add is WOW this is freaking awesome!"Life moves so fast it passes us by
Lessons that we should have learned
Makes us forget that we haven’t yet
Gone back to the way that we were"
WOW songwriting right there. A beautiful lyric throughout. A beautiful melody - classic sounding.
Everything about the production is gorgeous. The clarity of the guitar/fiddle/mandolin combination is stunning. An impeccable mix.
The vocal (needless to say) is flawless. And perfectly processed and sitting perfectly in the mix.
One of those songs that, from the first listen, sounds like you've known it all your life.
There is an amazing amount of high caliber music on this forum these days. It's exploding. You three are right at the top of that...

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.

Absolutely deserving of all the glowing reviews. That fiddle intro alone catches the breath. Wonderfully tender vocals, lovely thought behind the lyrics... the kind of song that just keeps giving.
Robert Thanks Robert! We love that fiddle. J&B Like I said in the comments on soundcloud, Lovely!
My only "gripe", I could have listened to at least five more minutes of it! Janice, Bud and Tom...
After listening to this song again...
I have to give all of you another pat on the back...
Good job!
Thank you Lawrence! J&B Janice, Bud and Tom...

Janice, Bud & Tom,
Excellent, stunning, superb, awesome , beautiful etc -(but I think that's already been said).
I really liked this one from the first time I heard it. It's a lovely song.
A truly wonderful production (we are really spoilt here to receive such quality offerings).
A great team effort.

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."
