One of the truly great things about Band-In-A-Box is that allows you to create so many different styles and kinds of music. From simple, intimate indie-artist-style productions to big-commercial-style Pop, Rock or Country (just to name a couple). This would be on the "bigger" end...

Hey ...
First row center ... unless someone sneaks in!
This is a terrific song. Big sound ... big production ... big smiles for the listeners. That bass line really drives this. Your lyrics are always at the top of the list.
That lead guitar really puts a stamp on this ... perfect choice. That last verse really talks to me. I can relate. Also, that short guitar riff before the tag line was a real nice touch.
As always ... exceptional in every way. Wishing you & yours the very best ...

What a tune! Love the progressions and your vocals on this. The tune flows tremendously well and has a really polished sound. Wouldn't bat an eyelash if I heard this on the radio. You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

First things that grab me are the piano and drums
your drums are always clear and kicking, that piano cuts thru nicely
and has some great parts.
You and Tom both have baseball in your new songs,
I'm a baseball addict since childhood, it's like a religion
even tho it changes it's been one of the most consistent and reliable
touchstones in my life. Maybe because of spring training and these monstrous contracts
being given out, it catches your attention. I haven't really been able to work it into a song
but I'll keep trying.
It's also a great love song,
there's no half-way when it comes to love
where we used to go head-to-head
we're now heart-to-heart instead
she's come around to my way of loving
this is why you are one of my favorite song writers
The uplifting drive and feel good energy deliver here in spades
you're an optimist, aren't ya
I love it, glad I'm here to listen and enjoy your music,
Kenny

Hi Floyd.
What a great song and a great BIG sound.
High spots for me - well, obviously the lead guitar, but also the fabulous drum sound. Loved the kick drum!
All the things I expect from you, super vocals, excellent mix etc. were all there as usual,
making up a very professional package.
ROG.

Man, those drums!! Such a great sound, really drives the song.
Always enjoy listening to your music, not only because of the great songs, but because everything always just sounds "right".
Another winner, enjoyed very much!

Alan Thanks, Alan. I always appreciate your nice reviews. Some folks don't "get" a "bigger" production. Oh well.. Happy Birthday!!!

FJ, quite different from past tunes Reminded me how good Pop Rock can be if you put mind and soul to it. Excellent arrangement and mix. Love choruses and story line! Thank you for sharing! Misha.

Awesome Floyd! You seem to have an endless supply of great material constantly flowing to us here! That second verse was some really great writing! The chorus is catchy and memorable! Add one more to your impressive catalog of songs! Thanks, Torrey

As mentioned previously, a big sound here. Great use of the climbing guitar line as a signature lick. Once again you have used the organ to come in later as a build. You are the master of love songs! So many flavors in your catalog on this theme and they all stand on their own. I loved the clever but not too cute lyrics and you provided a great vocal to go along with the outstanding production. Tom

They always say opposite attract, so true. Differences is what makes the world go around. Nice write and good production as usual. Do you ever write a "bad song"?

Another hit Floyd. Your vocal and backtrack were awesome. I love how you mix your songs. All the instruments are so easy to pick out and so tight together. A true art. My favorite part of the song is the guitar. Such a cool tone and just bites through when it comes up front. Well done
