SLEEPIN' SINGLE

girl, it kills me you're not here
you say that you've been lonely too
it's your sweet kiss i miss
i've looked at this
from every angle
i can be there by midnight
if i leave now and the coast is clear
some cabernet
whattaya say
let's intermingle
   
   we've spent too much of our forever
   sleeping single
   not one more night
   sleeping single

it's been like a dream
from the first moment i saw you
in a fevered heat
my heart skipped a beat
turning cartwheels

i wanna feel those feelings
brand new every day
kissing your sweet lips
while my heart flips
turning cartwheels
   
   we've spent too much of our forever
   sleeping single
   not one more night
   sleeping single

don't wanna spend one more moment
without you by my side
or one more night
sleepin' single
not one more night
sleepin' single


All inside 3 minutes.
Hope ya get something outta this...
Type Something.

Floyd...you had me at the intro...love the energy and the pop and meter of the lyric...you are a master at constructing the BiaB tracks! ...great harmony and vocal...cool ending!

Hi Floyd,

Like Dan, you had my full attention with the intro. A simple but very effective lyric. the backing tracks are full and fill in all the cracks and creases in the soundscape. It sounds to me you've left the background tracks a little more forward in the mix than you typically do. I like it!

As always, a superb vocal. What I particularly like about your vocal delivery on this one is how you clipped the last word of each verse, almost a vocal staccato.

And the surprise ending was a real treat - leaving the last vocal line without the resolution was quite effective

Quite a treat. Might I say the song was "perky"?

Take care,

Alan

Cool song and lyrics. Sounds good. 👍

floyd

And fun it was, catchy, and entertaining.
Liked it a lot and the solo guitar parts were nice and effective.
Excellent

Peter

Floyd,

This song should be streaming on every platform 24 hours a day...

It's contemporary, pop-infused and superbly sung and mixed. Perfection!

A new favorite!

Bob

Very good stuff Floyd. I really like this one. Your writing is always good, and it is here as well. The words fit the melody like a hand in a glove on this one. If I had to pick one stand out on this song, I think it's your vocals. Great delivery. I know it's a pop song, but there's still that country in your voice and I think it would fit either genre. I thought the distorted backing guitar was a little loud in a few places, particularly in the chorus, but that just me being hyper critical. Great listen.

Hi, floyd jane.

So much to like here. Upbeat, fun inner rhymes. Instruments interweaving in the poppy arrangement. Nice open sound, solid harmonies.

And, of course, your vocal:

   While my heart flips

Nice ending too!

The 70's called, they saw your painting and they want their color palette back! Just kidding, I couldn't resist!

As you said - all within three minutes! Wow!

Very good choice of style, the guitars sound great, well sung. what can I say: well done Floyd !
Laurent

Floyd, making music fun...indeed! Love everything about this. Killer vocals are worth repeating. Especially like the subtle crack on the chorus near the end. Great job!

Very nice. Who doesn't like some pop country every now and then?

A pleasant listen.

S-O-M-E-T-H-I-N-G...

Just kidding.

But did I complete the assignment correctly??

Seriously, this is well-layered with a pleasant, nostalgic feel. These types of songs take us back to an era of a greater innocence I think, in mood, delivery, and production.

Thanks for carrying the torch!

🙂

I love it Floyd!
That soulful guitar speaks to me, as well as the beautiful harmony vocal work!
It's an awesome song that will be enjoyed by a lot of your fans!
The ending is perfect!
Thanks, TB

I love those internal rhymes, something I also explored in my last song, and am starting to understand how cool they can be.
Nice story, great vocals and a REALLY good mix.
And the ending is a really cool idea.
The choruses sound to me more like a pre-chorus and I was waiting for a chorus with a bit more oomph or something.
But since I seem to be the only one who feels that way, it's probably just me and nothing to worry about.

Enjoyed the listen a lot anyway

Good stuff, Floyd, nice pop sound.

" we've spent too much of our forever, sleeping single", Great line!

Excellent vocals as per usual, and pro mix. Enjoyed!

ALL your songs are fun, floyd. No matter how sad some may get, I am always happy hearing them. In this one I love the flowing melody filled with longing lyrics, and how the title is the strong hook. I can hear couples around the world singing this to each other. Very relatable. A friend of mine sells t-shirts that say "Forever is not as long as you think." I had him add ",,,and Never is just around the corner" for the back.

Your voice is what takes this song over the top. It has your trademark inflections (the voice inflection on "flips" is wow, to give just one example) ... the song is really well written, etc., but the voice really showcases it at its full value. Love the uptempo, upbeat feel.

Hats off to you.

The opening is killer with the guitars shifting across the speakers. The acoustic sounds great especially with your expert editing on the fills and solo. Super vocals and a mix that is balanced and showcases all the different guitars. Of course it's well written and let us not forget the inspired cut off ending. I thoroughly enjoyed my multiple listens, Tom

Thanks, Dan...


Much appreciated, Alan...

Hi floyd jane

Very catchy music with very soft lyrics. I like the dubbed vocals.The mix is ​​perfect.. Did you use any new tools? Well done

Kindly regard
JaniJackFlash

Another masterpiece from one of the most prolific songwriters on the forum.
I wish I had a small fraction of your talent.
As usual everything is perfect.

The melody, progression, lyrics and delivery as so strong the backing could be flipped from opo to power pop and drop in on honky tonk to prove a point.
I dig the arrangement as it stands.

Thanks, Sören



Thanks, Peter...

Bob - thanks for that. Really...

Floyd, great vibe, vocals, melody line, rhyming scheme, etc. (i.e., your typical pro write)! I did not expect it - and was happy not to see 'in a double bed' - following your hook!

Dewey

Yes, this is fun! There’s such a happy Jimmy Buffet vibe that we’re both enjoying.
The solo acoustic has a really nice light touch like his fingers are dancing along the fretboard.

Vocals are impeccable as always and so is the band and mix.

Great arrangement - the outro was cool.

Love the artwork too.

Thanks for a good start to our day!

J&B

You get such a fantastic polished sound to your productions, this one is exceptional. You had me from the first note to last. Like the lyrics, hook, vocals, and especially the way funky soul groove mixed with a little country. The guitars sound great also. NICE !!!!

You always have a good band put together. I can see sleepin' Single as a nice radio ready single for radio play.

Brad - thanks for stopping in for a listen...


Ya know...it's about time for Harvest Gold and Avocado to come back around. Mark my words...next year's Big Thing.

Floyd, what else can be said?
Your mastery of BiaB, songwriting and vocal work is 2nd to none on this forum.
And truth be told, I've watched the country music awards and similar and they can't hold a candle to your talent.
Well done sir.

Thanks for this listen, Laurent....


Thanks, Ron...

Amazing, I know...


Of course.

Thanks, Torrey...


Thanks, B.D. That's about all the oomph I've got.

Great song, I love the track and the vocals!! I wish I could get that professional sound out of my songs, my hat's off to you!!

Thanks, Dave....



Thanks, Marty....

Nice opening that pulls you right into the song, anticipating the first lyric.
Bouncy and upbeat. Love the instrumentation.
Hooky chorus.

Thanks, James...


Much appreciated, Tom...

Thanks, Derochette


Thanks, Mario...

Thanks, ray....



Thanks, Dewey...

Well done Floyd, we guess all's been said.
Rob is particularly interested in the guitar in the beginning of the intro.
Is it one of the Kontakt tracks?

Rob and Anne-Marie

Congratulations on yet another polished song from you, Floyd.
Nicely rhythmic.

Vic

Thanks, y'all...


Thanks, Elliot...

Charlie - always nice to have you drop in...


Thanks, BT. Very nice of you to say....

Thanks, Ronnie...


Thanks, Scott...


Thanks. The beginning includes 2 "chunking" (simple) Kontakt guitars. But the main melodic parts are coming from the BIAB rhythm guitar (with fills fromm the BIAB acoustic)


Thanks, Vic...

Floyd

Wake up song to me, good feelings…
Great harmonies
