WOW, another killer song!! Just listened to Floyd's One True Heart, and then this. The forum is on fire!! This Wall, and Floyd's tune belong on the forum's wall of fame. This is a beautiful write (Kenny constantly blows me away), with wonderful heartfelt emotion. AND, who better to deliver a ballad than our own Janice, master vocalist. And, Bud has always had some of the best production. This is an A Team delivering at their best. Absolutely love it!!! Great job all!! Take care. Greg

Excellent! I first heard it yesterday too, got the heads up via the soundcloud stream page that you had uploaded a new one.
Cut and paste from what I said over on soundcloud:
Good song! Well written/arranged/produced. Vocal of course is as good as it gets! Great tone, so warm. Also like the harmonies, the way they were brought into the mix. Thanks! We all appreciate that. And a shoutout to Kenny for the harmony arrangement you mentioned. J&B

Well done to the three of you!
I enjoyed the ache in this which the graceful melody makes the most of. I love the way a waltz sweeps you along and the simple clarity of the arrangement here is just right - I agree with Kenny that Bud`s alchemy in the production shines through.
The vocal is something special, as we know to expect from Janice... but those understated ooohs at the close: magic.
Robert Robert we greatly appreciate such a nice review. We knew the moment we heard it that we wanted to be part of it. "Ache" is a great one word description. We felt that from Kenny's original and Janice tried to also convey it. Thank you! J&B

This is about "as good as it gets".
Stellar performances by all three of you.
Bud - gorgeous mix! to the point that you don't even THINK about it (the mix) as you listen to this. It is just...RIGHT. (no surprise there).
Kenny - this is a beautiful song. To the point that you can't really pick any part that is better than the rest. Nonetheless:
"Chill in the air love isn’t fair
How did we find ourselves here
I missed the signs
Wasted my time
Letting you just disappear"
So fine. The chorus is perfect. This may be your best. And THAT is saying something!
Janice - I think this is your best vocal ever. And THAT is saying A LOT. Goosebumps.
This is like listening to The Eagles "doing what they do" to Tom Waits' "Ol 55".
Stunningly beautiful.
floyd
floyd, your review has made us feel that this relatively new musical journey we've been on for the last several years has been worth all the time (and occasional frustration) that has gone into it. Given your singer/songwriter and production cred we are deeply appreciative. J&B

Hello, Kenny, Janice & Bud
Very beautiful waltz tune.
Very good melody.
Janice's vocal is perfect.
The Jacket photo of this song on soundcloud is also wonderful.
I think this collaboration is the most successful one.
The vocal is very fitted to this melody.
Very enjoyable listen.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

This is a great song, sung by a great singer, with a great sound. Kenny, your best write! Janice, it's the combination of feeling plus the technique of how you get in and out of notes that sets you apart from the ordinary. The little things that you do vocally make it very special. Bud, Great job on the mix and the sound of the piano and the overall track. I'm 100% all in on this one. Tom Tom, you lit Janice up like a Christmas tree! Everything about your review gives us joy and more confidence...particularly so with your track record of such high bar productions. Thank you! J&B

I think Robertkc had the perfect word for this - graceful. We couldn't agree more.
What a wonderful piece of writing by Kenny. of course we knew Janice would knock it out of the park - which she did. This is one of her very best, if not "the" best vocal we've heard from her. And Bud, the mix sounds better than what comes out of many Nashville studios. Three pros sounding like pros. We're not sure what else to say except simple wonderful!
Alan & Di Thanks y'all for such a nice review. When somebody drops a song like this in your lap you gotta give it your best. We are happy that you feel we did it justice! J&B
