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.
Janne Thank you so much for mentioning nature, the vocals, the write, the mix and Peter’s work with guitar and horns. You commented on every aspect we hoped to achieve and it is much appreciated. J&B

Hi Janice, Bud and Peter,
What else is there to say than 'Wow'. It's a great song, good band and a lovely singer in every aspect!
And I saw I wasn't the only one with this kind of compliments. But you all earned them.
I also saw I was very late exposing my feelings about this song. But better late than never.
Again; I enjoyed it. It's still bouncing in my head. I only need to get the lyrics right.
By the way; one 'nit'... It's way too short!!!
Hans

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. Thank you! We too felt Peter’s playing was perfect for the vibe. J&B

J&B/Peter
This has a more pop oriented sound than your usual work! The vocals are exceptionally well done, especially the harmony parts!
Peter's contributions are great also! The guitar solo also adds to the pop/rock sound of this track! It puts me in mind of an early 70's Rod Stewart/Small Faces sound!
Great sound and production!
Thanks, TB

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 Thank you Brad. The little sitar bit was all Peter’s idea. Thanks for mentioning the write and the production. It was fun. And Janice enjoyed arranging and singing the vocals - all one take. But she doesn’t say she’s ready to record until she has it all worked out in her head. I (Bud) just go along for the vocal engineering ride. 😀 We appreciate all you wrote! J&B

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!
fj Now that is a supportive review. A big wow and thank you. The mention of the piano is appreciated given the amount of comping we did. I struggled with the “proper” bass amp and settings so another thanks for your comment. It got placed on a 70’s vibe Spotify playlist and I think the piano, Peter’s tracks and the harmony contributed to that. Thanks for all! J&B

Man, I love this song! I like everything you three produce, but this has to be one of your all-time best I think. Perfect! Thank you Dave! J&B

Nice melody, lyrics, well sung. great harmony on the chorus. The guitar break was cool especially the sitar line echoing.

Hans Thank you Hans. We are happy you liked it and we kept it short hoping to get it on an Americana or Folk Rock Spotify playlist. They tend to like short songs. But it will be a rarity for us! 😀 J&B

Thanks, TB Thank you Torrey for all you mentioned. We love Small Faces and Stewart’s early work so the comparison is understood and appreciated. And another big thanks for mentioning the vocals. As I (Bud) often say Janice’s bluegrass years still show when she does one take “car horn tight” harmonies. J&B

I liked your song, thanks for sharing!
I enjoyed your lyrics and vocals. Janice's voice reminded me of Karen Carpenter.
