There are certainly no mistakes in this one. The sum total of all your talents is on full display. Arrangement, vocal, playing, production and editing chops are at 100% full power. And of course none of that means anything without the song. This is songwriting at a level that makes you sit up a little straighter and really pay attention. Beautifully executed in every regard. It has gotten to the point where it’s a sure bet when your latest song pops up on this forum. You surely know what you’re doing, Tom Tom - I really appreciate such nice comments - especially from you, someone at the top of their game... Thanks!

Floyd, you are SO good at story telling in song. This is just really great, catchy, great production quality and performances. A little Jimmy Buffet (well, maybe a lot Jimmy Buffet). Definite keeper, kudos, well done!

Hello, floyd
It's a very catchy sound again.
The combination of bass drums and rim shots throughout the song is very comfortable.
Your productions are very stable. Always at a high level, they will not fall below that.
Your vocal and lead guitar are also very nice as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Shigeki Adachi - glad you enjoyed this. Thanks.

No nits to pick: ace writing, performing, mixing etc.
Thanks, ray. You did an unreal job with this one, Floyd! A big stand out to me here is how vivid the lyricism is. It really does a great job in painting a picture, and really makes the listener feel connected - well, this listener at least! That aside, your vocals are full of charisma and that chorus is excellent. It showcases a very proper songwriting ability. Great work, and thanks for sharing  Deryk - I really appreciate that...

Wow. Just, wow. This song is so personal and really says a lot. I like the choices you've made for this song. It has a bit of that sorrowful nostalgia, but it also has a bit of this upbeat sound to it at the same time. I feel that works really well considering that they "weren't mistakes at all".
Love it! Ember - Thank you. I really appreciate that nice review...

I've been reminding myself to use more alliteration in my own lyrics, and then I hear it done excellently here. Your verses are always great, but the way the chorus wraps everything up in bow and tugs at the heart knocks me out. As PeterF says, a "songwriting class". And a great arrangement to boot! Nice solo and rhythm guitar parts. As usual, good music done right. Thanks, David. I've been considering doing a post in the Songwriting forum about using alliteration. It is a valuable tool that only a handful of songwriters have in their arsenal...

Mine would require an opus...until I met Janice.
Is there any subject one could bounce off you for which you could not create a great lyric?
Other than the write what stood out for us were the, as always, fine vocals and the piano...man, it sounds like you and the player sat down and worked out the arrangement.
As Josie said, “personal and universal plus romance...” Yeah!
J&B Thanks, y'all!

Hi Floyd.
Nice and relaxed.
Like the Jimmy Buffet I used to listen to at sea.
Enjoy the more personal aspect of the song and
"that was just silly".
Cheers.

Wow, this is good! I've been out for a couple months (again)! Been working way too many hours. Fell at work and hurt my back the other day, so I've got some down time for a few days while recovering. Getting caught up on some of the great tunes on the forum.
Every time I hear a new song of yours, I think it's my new favorite. They're all good. This one is especially good. Great write. Great job on the vocals. Great job on the production. Other than all these harsh criticisms, I think this is really good!

Another example of great composition. Story told clearly, supporting parts tasteful.
And you have that voice.... Thanks, eddie. Nice of you to stop by... Yup, this is right up my alley. Well done.
Got a bit of that Gulf and Western attitude, combined with the humble wisdom that age can bring.
Sounds great! Appreciate that, Phil...

Mr jane, welcome to the forums! For a first post, you should be REALLY proud of the work you've done. The writing, production and performance are of a high standard, in my opinion. This makes me excited for your future works. I hope it's not too far between before we hear more of what you have in store? At any rate, I see you have gotten a few number of comments already. I'm thinking it's because of cleverly starting out your chorus with the word "bump." Brilliant subliminal worked cleverly into the lyrical content. On a different note, is your wife "Mary" by chance? If she is, I hear she's smokin'. (I am clearly running out of ways to say how great your songs are!)
