SO SOULFUL!!!! SO Authentic and organic sounding........love that you combined a live hand clap......I immediately wondered where you got the claps. Janice absolutely knocks this out of the park, and Peter's guitar is dark and sweet!! LOVE IT!!! Take care. Greg

this track was the arrangement.

I mentioned how professional your arrangement was in my last review, but even since then
I'm amazed at how your skills have developed and matured. Too many productions fail because
the backing doesn't change at all throughout the song and the interest wanes, but this song
has textures. It's the attention to detail, all the little bits which appear and then are
gone again, the various mood changes, all these things take time and effort, but are what
ultimately make the track professional, as well as enthralling.

Yes, it all sounds fabulous.

ROG.


Rog, your thoughtful comments are greatly appreciated. Thank you for mentioning the arrangement. We listened to a lot of versions early on trying to decide where to take it. Knowing your expertise in performance and production makes your review even more special!

Superb composition. The solo voice is superb as well as the choirs. It's really professional. The guitar is really in its place and intervenes just when it is needed. Very very good job.

Really, really cool take on this. Terrific listen, outstanding production. The clapping in the background, accentuated with Janice’s terrific harmonies, give this such depth and richness. Peter slays the solos. Slick stuff!

My best to you all,

Deej


Thanks Deej, we all three had a blast with this!

A special note on Peter's part: As much as I love it when a lead line provides a different take on a different melodic idea, I love it when a guitar player just takes the melody on. When Peter's part came in, my goose-bumps got goose-bumps.

My favorite from the three of you.


Thank you so much for your thoughts on the vocals! And your mention of Peter’s guitar is greatly appreciated as we felt the same way. And your continued support is appreciated as always.
