I love the way your music responds to your lyrics as opposed to them being separate layers. You're good at writing songs Janine.

I love the "the Problem" is making music again.  Very cool perfomances here by all and well mixed

Magnificent work ... like it so much  !!!!

What a quirky, enchanting delight!  Love the time signature and clever wordplay!

wow!! you always write charming songs, but this might take the pie. So much to love, from the gorgeous melody to the very clever lyrics. This is a day making song:)

so liking how you reinvent a fairytale with free-verse and some cool choruses, and wonderful music... Janine, Jose and Doug.

Charmingly and beautifully quirky. In top form Janine and the guys.

some echos are not that good... ;) great song, wonderful vocals!

Really enjoyed, music,vocals,lyrics all work together - and your right about getting rid of certain echoes! - Miki

Let Go of that Echo

Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye
My head’s full of blackbirds but they won’t fly

Gotta let go, let go  

Sang a song so quiet, nobody heard
Kept it in the cage with the sad blackbirds

Gotta say no, say no to that echo echo  
That just won’t let me be free
That just won’t let me let go  -- gotta say no, say no

Sing a pretty question, keep it in my clothes
Answer with a puzzle and weave my prose?  no!!   

I gotta let go, let go of that echo echo       
that just won’t let me be free
that won’t let me let go
Gotta say no, say no to the echo, echo   
Oh I gotta be free,
I don’t know If I can let go, let go 
And just be me!

Kiss me in a signal, tap me a song
Four and twenty codewords can’t be wrong. no!

Gotta let go, let go of that echo echo 
That just won’t let me be free
That just won’t let me let go -- gotta say no, say no

I’m gonna stand tall and speak up   
I gotta say yes to find love
I’m gonna be real and speak out   
I gotta say yes to find  out
I’ve gotta let go, let go, of that echo

Let Go of that Echo
