Really nice catchy song, I really like the run into the choruses, the guitar is superb and gives a really nice rolling feel to the whole thing.

A pleasant sounding mix, a bit like Mark I think the choruses could use a bit of dynamic emphasis to bring them out some.

Other than that a really tuneful song and an enjoyable listen.

Well done you two.

  I want to give each and everyone of you a huge heartfelt
thank you. Maybe Janet will pitch in with some notes
of her own. I prefer a personal thanks to each of you
but I don't want to hog the show.

  The very important thing for me is to know what your
views are and short of some minor suggestions they
are all saying well done.

   One person mentioned a "big" production and I can see
that as an option I didn't want to take it too far as to
the have the production mean more than the song.

  Thanks everyone

And to think I offered to help you with lyrics.  You certainly don't need any help, at least from me.  This is just beautiful.  I thought it is a big production.  I can't think of anything I'd change.  I mean it's no "Jazz The Funky" lyric but...  LOL!!  Janet, will you still talk to us when your songwriting becomes famous?   Jimmy, beautiful playing and production.  Gheesh, this is great!

Excellent Janet and Great work as usual from Jimmy.
 
The mix and production sounds great on my speakers, especially the acoustic guitar.
 
Nice work both.

BIABdude, thank you.

Mark, thank you too.  Good to see you around again. :-) 

Thanks, Jon.  Glad you liked it.  :-) 

Jimmy, step in all you want.  :-)  I may have written it, but I never could have made it sound this good.  And the subtle tweaks you added took it up a notch too. 

Warren, well, sometimes they just come together like this.  Nothing fancy or clever cause, well, I guess I'm not too fancy or clever myself.  :-)  And even IF my songwriting becomes famous, I'll still just be me and will be happy to hang out here with some of my favorite people. :-)

Thanks, John.  :-)

Nice job, both of you.   So you just back handed the lyrics off just like that, Huh ... and Jimmy just took it from there.  Very touching tune. I think you both were on the same vibe.   Great work.

Yep, just like that.  I never expected this at all, but I was sure tickled when I heard it!   The words just came together too, which is unusual.  But Daryl Crowley's advice in another thread made it work.  He said to just write out what you want to sing about...in paragraph form.  I had the chorus pretty much done but had no idea where to go from there.  Then I started thinking about people and only wrote about 4 words before I could see the song forming itself.  It was easy from there. I hope he sees this soon. :-)  Anyway, thank you, Jim.
