You guys already know how magical I believe your formula is, and I'm thrilled whenever I get the call to be a small part of it. Peter, your guitar is always so perfect for each song, and, Janice, you sing with such glee, passion and precision. And no one puts it all together in such a profe3ssional production as the Bud-meister. As fir this song... man, what a perfect song to start each day. Highly recommended. Marty, your contribution on bass is greatly appreciated. It’s so cool to have that bottom end working with and supporting the vocals and guitar! J&B

Forgive me for being late for the party, but I was there, silently for auditions  A couple of spins later... I must say, you have a talent of attracting talent. Sweet upbeat tune and excellent message "The journey doesn’t always have to be uphill". Everyone engaged and whole tune sound relaxed and natural. Ace harmonies by Janice. You are one productive team. Marty sounds great. Mix is A+. Thank you for sharing. Misha.

I just absolutely love it when I hear a song with a "real singer" and no doubt Janice fits that bill to a T. She makes every song a GREAT song no matter what because of her vocal talent. GIRL CAN SANG !! No disrespect Peter :-)
I'm in the camp that if a song has vocals and the singer is struggling it's just not a very good song and I click off because I can't tolerate the flat notes. No disrespect to anyone reading this. I won't even bother with any production comments because like myself you guys are your own producers so why should I get involved in that. You know what you want and you always achieve outstanding results. Another great song and performance in this thread. All the best to you two and any of the other musicians you involve in your projects. -- Henry Henry, your comments are very much appreciated. It has been encouragement and support like this that have kept us on this relatively new musical journey. I (Bud) have told Janice she can sing and arrange vocals within genres like this for years but obviously I’m biased

J&B (and Peter and Marty):
Really great tune—brilliant production work as usual; terrific vocals. Love the harmonies on “Our worst fears” and throughout the chorus; nice and soft, well mixed. Piano is pretty killer, too! Sweet tune!
My best to you all,
Deej
BTW J&B, thanks for your kind comments on my track “Help Me Kind of Love”. I’d thank you there, but am hesitant to bump up the thread at this point. Thanks Deej. We appreciate everything you said and, yep, those MST pianos are are sweet! J&B

Hi there Janice, Bud, Peter and Marty,
The list of names is growing, but you all did a very good job on this lovely song. I enjoyed it, and of course the harmonics in the vocals. Very nice.
It took me some time to get back on the forum, because of technical issues, but this is the first song I listened to after that 'pause'.
Very good. No complains on whatever. Just alright!
Regards,
Hans

Nicely done. As is usual, top quality from everyone on the team.
Such a sultry vocal.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

What a masterpiece production?
The song has an exuberant drive. Marty's bass and that N.O. piano really propels this song.
Janice's vocal is flawless and expressive.
That is my favorite Peter guitar solo.
Splendid all around.

Yeah!
As you know I love Janice's vocals, but what really blows me away is the harmonies! Fabulous!
Peter is doing his usual stellar job on the guitar, and Marty is probably the best bass player I've ever worked with.
Good write, Bud, and your usual fine job with the mix.
Enjoyed! [quote=BlueAttitude] Thank you Dave. We are delighted you like the harmony. It has been quite a journey for Janice moving from bluegrass harmony to styles like this. And yep Marty really is a fine player as evidenced by how well he supports vocalists and lead players. And thanks for mentioning the write and mix. J&B

Janice, Bud, Peter, Marty...
GREAT piano sound! Love the opening!!
Killer bass.
The STAR doing her usual stellar vocals. BGVs are outta-this-world. Vocal arrangement is killer...
A good write. "...The journey doesn’t always have to be uphill" ... nice.
Mix is off-the-charts good.
Excellent in all regards.
(Now, you've got me wonderin'..."Where's the video???")
fj Thanks for all! And thank you for guiding Janice into vocal explorations beyond bluegrass harmony. Thanks for the kind words re the mix and write. It is time to begin another video adventure indeed. J&B

Everyone here is at the top of their game. The vocal and harmonies as well as the arrangement are super. The mix is stellar as is the piano sound. Marty sure knows what he is doing down there on the low end and Peter always finds the perfect complimentary guitar parts. The write is uplifting and the photo
a great visual representation of the theme. Well done all, Tom Thank you Tom for the kind word and for your counsel and support over the years. Happy Holidays! J&B Forgive me for being late for the party, but I was there, silently for auditions A couple of spins later... I must say, you have a talent of attracting talent.

You are one productive team. Marty sounds great. Mix is A+. Thank you for sharing. Misha. Thank you Misha for all and especially the “relaxed and natural” comment - that means a lot!

Vic Yes we do and thanks! J&B Janice, Bud, Peter & Marty, Another GREAT collaboration! Stellar vocals, playing and production. Every song is a new favorite... This one needs a video. Excellent stuff! Bob Thank you Bob for the kind words. This might indeed be a fun video project! J&B
