J&B...man that was really, really good!...I agree with Bob...maybe my new favorite from you all...love the tempo, cadence and the ebb and flow of the gentle melody...Janice, you killed it with your vocals and Peter's solos were perfect...Bud , I am always amazed at your production skills and the lyrics are so relaxing and flowing...not to mention a sitar riff (a little Beatle's touch...why not?)...I absolutely loved this one!

Janice, Peter, Bud, wow, now THAT's a song and a half! Great lyrics, powerful vocals, killer guitar (and sitar!) and super production. Such a strong song, professionally executed. Excellent! Well we will add a wow also. 😀 That is a wonderful review and it is much appreciated. Thank you! J&B

Great song, lyrics, vocals and arrangement. Janice is always impressive.

Every song you guys have on Spotify is on my Favorites Playlist. Man, I really love this one. Heard it a bunmch and always feel it's too short. Yet it is so long on goodness. Love the stuff Peter added, and Janice is... well, my all-time favorite. Bud, you are the mixing and mastering master for sure. Everything sits so perfectly. Man, these lyrics are quite special. They are a stroll, as is the melody --the whole thing invites an evening stroll. Thank you Marty. We had hoped that you would enjoy this one. The positive nature of it reminded us someone! 😀 All you wrote is much appreciated! J&B

Another winner from the Big Three!
As usual great vocal, harmonies, guitar, and mix.
This brought me back to the 1960's so thanx for the memories.
Janice, Bud, and Peter, I loved this one! Thank you Mario and we’re happy it brought those memories! J&B

I concur with Bob: new favorite!
The harmony is delicious. And the vocal is an A+.
A tuneful tune that is a joy to listen to. I can see why it was put on the playlist.
The production is pristine and well mixed.

Hi Janice, Bud and Peter. This is fantastic listening. I loved the journey. The image below is a really good representation of what I was looking like and what I was feeling as I listened. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=27864&filename=happy listener small.jpg) The melody, the harmony, Janice's exquisite vocals (lead and harmony), the superb lyrics and Peter's awesome guitar work sat so very comfortably on my psyche. What a great chorus! I always come alive in the evening
listening to the night birds singing
surrounded by the glow of fireflies
I no longer think of blue skies
These lines are highly visual and I felt like I could almost reach out and touch the fireflies. Then when verse 2 came along... when the full moon is shining bright
that’s when my spirit takes flight
walking through a field of silver dew
with every step my soul renews
...I felt like I was the character in the song. From start to finish, I was with you all, all the way, and fully involved in the unfolding story. Terrific everything! --Noel Noel, you are too kind! It is a real treat for you to quote the lyric since we so appreciate your lyrical skills. "From start to finish, I was with you all, all the way, and fully involved in the unfolding story" We can't ask for more than that which describes or should about anyone's objective with a tune. We hugely appreciate your time, the image and the generous comments! J&B

What could be more beautiful than hearing the night birds singing in the moonlight, very heartfelt image. "with every step my soul renews" describes perfectly Janice's walk and your love of nature.
Very smooth and calming song, beautifully flowing melody and when sung with such a pleasant voice and lush harmonies, this is a winner. Peter's guitar paints the night and the glow of fireflies nicely. The arrangement and the mix are high quality, I especially enjoyed how the horns give that extra spice. Somehow reminded me of Fleetwood Mac.

This is a little package of sunshine.
Details and the feel are wonderful.
The turnaround is a perfect piece in the construction.
Fab vocals, lyrics and performances mix n mastered just right. We appreciate that Ray. It was a fun production. And Thanks for mentioning the turnaround. J&B

Our first J&B tune in quite a while is different in style and length - hey it’s less than three minutes! 🤪 Ha....congratulations!....I don't think I've ever written one less than 3 minutes, I'm a failure! On a serous note, this sounds great especially with Peter on the axe. Good mix and some sweet BGV. Very well done all around and a great listen.

Hey team!
Clever, catchy tune. Fantastic write both musically and lyrically. Pleasure to listen to. Different in a very good way. Super vocals. Arranged and played professionally. You shouldn't be surprised it's made to the spotify playlist - it's good. Mix is pro.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Wow! We really appreciate that very supportive review. Thanks Misha! J&B

Great job guys! Bud had some great ideas for this song, both in the writing and the production. I never would have thought of putting in that sitar, and had no idea Peter played it. No need to hear it from me, but I can't help but telling you that you all have a winner here. I always appreciate Janices' vocals, but man she really does well here - both in the lead and harmonies. Thanks for posting this!
Brad

Janice at the Top Of Her Game. But then, when isn't she?
Killer harmonies (of course).
A good piano-based production. Peter's fills/leads - nice!. Sweet sounding Bass. The sitar is a wonderful surprise - fits perfectly...
The standard Perfect Mix.
A delightful song. Definitely goes on the favorites list. Love the Chorus. And that smooooth melody...
One of your best!
