J&B,
Absolutely wonderful throughout!
I would like permission to submit it for airplay in London and New Zealand. If you agree, just PM me with a mp3 copy.
They are playing my far less professional-sounding stuff. There is no money involved but the exposure is priceless.
The queue is quite long, probably 3-4 weeks to schedule it. I'll be sure to tell you when it is scheduled. It will stream in FM.

Janice & Bud,
I'm glad you re-posted this jewel. I love every part of it, but I again have to mention, that, Janice, you got a heck of a voice. A very well-written song, sung and played with so much feeling. Just great !

Fantastic, so nice to hear a perfect arrangement/mix, so simple but still very lush and the cello is distinguishable & nicely panned, something to chase after. Superb vocals. Has modern Irish folk feeling, reminds me of the Corrs.
Janne Thanks Janne. We appreciate your comments about the mix and the vocals. We'll check out the Corrs. J&B

Another very nice song from you folks! A tip of the hat to everyone involved! Such a beautiful sound with crystal clear audio quality which is something you always seem to accomplish great performances also! Thanks, T We appreciate you mentioning both the production and the performance! It was a fun revisit. J&B Loved your lyric idea, using the idea of trying, so imaginative, and common to everyone...and how you used the repeat of "I'm tryin'" melodically, very, very nice.
I noticed how you kept the chord chart very simple so that all the other elements--melody, vocal, instrumentation, could step forward and not be complicated by tricky changes...a real hallmark of sound composition judgement!
Everything about the track is top-notch! Congrats on a real jewel! Thank you for the nice review. And, yes, we are typically all about simplicity in our productions. The result can be either boring or effective and we are happy that you felt it worked! J&B

So glad you brought this beautiful song back!

Janice and Bud,
This is superb listening. I love the clarity of the mix and how everything shines and sparkles with the sound of professional.
When I first heard it, I immediately made a note because this is a mix that I will be revisiting when I want get ideas on how to add production quality to my own work.
This is a terrific song that the both of you and floyd have created. And when Janice sings it's impossible to hit 'stop' until it finishes.
I enjoyed this a great deal.
Regards,
Noel

What a great sound! Am I talking about any one instrument, all of the instruments, or vocals? YES! It's clean and GREAT warmth.
I really like the variety of effects which, to me, makes things stand out while maintaining blend! What?! YES! Thank you for "going there" with the effects mix.
I did not hear the original; but I loved what I heard with this.
I will admit, when I first saw that you didn't include the lyrics I was a little bummed that you maybe forgot. Then in listening I was actually made aware of two things.
1-I couldn't read ahead of the melody...which is really nice; and actually pretty natural to how you normally might experience a song.
2-When it's mixed and performed really well, they aren't needed. You can simply understand every word! What a concept.
Vocals...I've got nothin' to say. They speak for themselves. (REALLY great!)
The instrumentation is what I love to hear. VERY present; never in the way. It's orchestrated, arranged and executed well. A really nice job in knowing "when to" and "when not to." It really makes all the difference.
I will stop gushing now.
Tryin'? Ah...no. Succeeded! Dang man, you make us feel like we know what we are doing! Something we frequently doubt Not only are we very grateful for the wonderful review but also for you taking the time to respond in detail. That means a lot! "Clean and warm" is our goal on this type of production and we much appreciate you noting it. Sometimes things seem to fall into place with objective...but not always. It's that notion of improving by having nothing left to take away rather than nothing left to add. Thanks!!! J&B
