A little swing thing.

With Mrs. Merritt.


STARTED AGAIN

sometimes i regret
the promise that we made
when our love ended
we swore we would stay friends
true to our word
we've kept in touch and we've stayed close
a little too close for comfort
from where i stand
   
   look what we started again
   i feel it when you touch my hand
   we're hugging hello a little too long
   you know what that does to a man
   we spend all our time together
   then we say we're only friends
   but i couldn't stop this ol' boy's heart
   once it got started again

you call, i come met you
we share a drink in some cafe
it's been a long day
you need a friend, a little small talk
we share some laughs
we share a dance and then a kiss
i'll go crazy if all this sharing doesn't stop
   
   look what we started again
   i feel it when you touch my hand
   we're hugging hello a little too long
   you know what that does to a man
   we spend all our time together
   then we say we're only friends
   but i couldn't stop this ol' boy's heart
   once it got started again

Very nice guys!
The verse (chord progression) reminds us of The Green Green Grass of Home.
A good collab again!

Hi Joyce and Janice,

Some great old country swing here - totally loved it! Production was spot on and the lyric is classic country all the way. Janice's harmony is always so danged good - no exception here. It kind of reminded me of something Joe Stampley might have done back in the mid seventies. I was two-steppin' across the floor in my mind!

Thanks for a really great listen!

Hi Floyd.

Masterful as ever.

It seems that your professionalism knows no limits.

Classic Country with a nice loud mix which still doesn't sound over-cooked.

And of course, the essential ingredient - Janice.

Brilliant.

Nice one, Floyd!
Good write, I especially like the chorus. I like the tight harmonies you always achieve with Janice, such a great sound!
Musically the instruments trading off during the solo is a nice touch, also really liked the way you ended with the fiddle, very effective.
Always enjoy hearing your music, and having Janice on board is an added bonus!

Eloquent and exquisite writing and production fueled by retro rockets propelling yesterday into tomorrow. I'm enjoying sitting static in today and seeing classic sounding songs fly by that will surely influence tomorrow's writers.

The song, the arrangement, mix and production are all here. Excellent across the board.

Enjoyed this from start to finish and always marvel at the talents of Floyd, Janice and Bud.

Well it seems you've done it again. Great mix. I loved the lines "we're hugging hello a little too long
you know what that does to a man". Well written and the vocals are right in the wheelhouse of you both. I was surprised at the mando solo but it works and adds a more modern touch to the classic swing band sound. The piano sound and solo are killer. Well written as usual and I can't think of any way to improve anything about it. Tom

Just one of my favorite examples of some great lyrics. Very catchy melody and the perfect arrangement! And what song is not made better with some vocals by our premiere forum vocalist, the amazing Janice!! Great stuff! You did it again Floyd!! Take care. Greg

Well, you know I love this one, floyd, and I've been singing my part again all through two listens. I always love singing with you, and especially so on the old country style songs. Some of my earliest memories are of listening to country swing music with my Daddy and he would truly love this song. So, a big ole "thank you" for letting me be a part of it! Now I've gotta try and get Bud to dance with me on the next listen. wink

Janice

Oh, I like it too. But she'd have to be shooting at my feet to see me dance smile

You move effortlessly around these country genres and sub genres with each production sounding like you'd been just at that one spot for decades. Amazing.

Beautifully done - really nice mixture of soloists and lovely superbly in sync lead and harmony vocals.
All round pro recording and write.
