The simple guitar announces this song is going to be all about the lyric. Nice build as the instruments some in. Great chorus. Love how the chorus starts and ends on the hook - classic, and it works so well here. Love the change in POV in the second verse. I didn't expect it, and again: it works really well. My only complaint is that I would have liked another round of the chorus. Or even better, make the second time through the chorus a duet. That would be so pretty! And entirely unnecessary, but I think it would work nicely here. A little bit of echo, like: Male: What's an extra mile... Female, echoing: What's an extra mile? Together: If it shows what's in our heartsBut you know me, I throw gratuitous harmony on everything. I'm a sucker for simple love songs - I like this one a lot!

"Leave 'em wanting more." This song does that. Another verse and chorus, augmented by strings n things is the expectation and imagination kicked on by what exists. No need to do it as it was done in my head.
You voice soars in the choruses. VERY well done Floyd.

Lovely song. Great production. Your voice does soar at all the right places. You know how to write a catchy hook line, that's for sure. Good one. My hat's off to the band too.

floyd,
The simple acoustic guitar sound supports your wonderful vocals very well. The piano and pedal steel that participate from the middle are modest but very effective. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Firstly I'm greeted with a clean crisp guitar introduction.
The vocal delivery and backings are, as usual, exceptional.
Maybe I'm a softy for a beautiful love song, and this one fits that category absolutely perfectly.
Another winner, Mr Jane. Thanks!

What an amazingly consistent tunesmith you are, Floyd. And you always have the chops, the voice and band to make each song shine to the highest level. As always those lyrics are SOOOOO good. Thank you!!

I enjoyed that. Nicely written and played. That would be a great song for a movie underscore

(hey! where did those spaces come from? ) I understand the notion that a duet lives in there somewhere. But, as written, it would be a bit lopsided. Another go at the chorus? - then the song gets a bit long (and we all get so easily bored these days )

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
