Really nice stuff. Extra fine lyric that, to my mind, speaks to the need to not stray too far from the other in a relationship which I felt free to apply to my own life in my own way. In other words...didn't preach. Well delivered by Janice and supported with the band. The energy pumped up in that anthemic ending and I am very glad you let it play out. Much enjoyed.

EXCELLENT.
The guitar licks do tread on Janice's vocals in the section before the solo - a bit of panning EQ or level work would easily sort that.
Super collab.
There are a couple of dream teams in this forum.
Thanks Ray. Peter Hi there Janice, Peter, Leon and Bud.
A fabulous song with the whole team excelling themselves in this one.
A very evocative soundtrack which invoked pictures as it unfolded.
Great lyrics which can be interpreted in several different ways.
Wonderful guitar work - I'd have said this was a song simply for guitarists had
it not been for the fact that Janice was singing.
Janice - you know already what I mean to say. Perfect in every way.
Proper job, team.
ROG. Thanks Rog, Janice always inspires. Peter

Leon, Janice, Peter (and Bud)...
A good write. A very tight lyric. And the melody suits it nicely - "wistful".
A big sound. Excellent mix throughout.
Nice guitar. Cool bit of shredding in the outro.
And, of course...that angelic voice!!
Great team effort.

Thank you big brother! Janice

Sounds great! Some fine lyrics interpreted and delivered by an expert vocalist and some great guitar work. The outro guitar work is outstanding and reminded me that lots of players know how to rip off some wild shredding lines but very few know where to put them. Peter does. Well done all four, Tom Thanks Tom appreciate the guitar comments and completely agree with your remarks about Janice. Peter

Hello Janice, Peter, Leon, Bud,
I can only agree with what all others have said about the song, the vocals en the solo. It's a very strong song and I liked it.
With all those well earned compliments, it is probably equivalent to suicide to suggest a change in the song.
I take that risk though:
The way Janice sings is in contrast with the time signature of the drumming and strumming (slow versus 16th, I guess). That can distract the attention to the vocals. If I was in charge for making this song (;-) the vocals gets the focus and the tempo of the instruments would be in line (in 8th). Of course that is a matter of taste. And beside that, I wasn't in charge and still the song is very nice...
Nice day,
Hans Thanks for the comments Hans appreciate the suggestions, always interesting to get another perspective. Peter

Peter,Leon, Janice & Bud,
A gently uplifting song sent into the outer spheres by that fantastic outro guitar!
I liked the thoughtful lyric, yearning feel of Janice`s vocal and that you all agreed to let Peter ride it on out.
Robert Thanks Robert appreciate the review. Peter

Peter, Leon, Bud and Janice:
Now that’s quite the collaboration . . . and a very cool result all around. Agree with others on that killer solo in the break and on the outro. Well done—kudos to you all!!
My best to each of you,
Deej Thanks Deej. Peter Wow that one pulled on the heart strings. What a beautiful vocal Janice. Leon that lyric came from a very special place. Peter very cool backtrack and guitar was perfect for the song. So expressive. Well done. Thanks Scott

Peter, Leon, Bud and Janice: As soon as I saw these names listed in the credits I knew that this was gonna be a winner. And a winner it is!
As everyone has previously said everything about this is just plain perfect. This is so much better than what is on the radio today it is frightening.
Excellent work. Thanks for the very nice comments Mario. Peter

Hi everyone!
Wow! This is such a terrific listen.
I've just been working on song lyrics that seem to have a million and one words to fit to melody. For this reason, when I listened to this song, my very first thought was how amazing lyric brevity is. To be able to say what is needed in the minimum number of syllables possible is an incredible skill. And it's breathtakingly effective.
Janice, I love this melody. The way that it flows against the song's harmony and arrangement is a perfect fit. You singing it, is the proverbial cream to the music's coffee. So easy on the ears and such a pleasure to listen to.
Peter and Leon, you've done a fine job creating this. Every where I look or listen, talent shines. The supporting chord progression is inventive and because it is a little outside the usual expectations, it made me sit up and pay attention. I like it!
Bud, thanks for putting the polish on a fine work.
So... all in all... I really enjoyed where this song took me.
All the best,
Noel

Wonderful you guys. Awesome lyrics, musicianship, singing, everything. Sounds like some great 60s anthem or something. Love those little feedback squeals in the guitar solo. Brutal man.
