Everything sounds right for the song.
The piano part is the star for me though...def. something RTs can't manage.
The narrative is as poignant as the arrangement. Thanks, ray. Really appreciate that... Give it to Elton John and it'll be in the charts.
Wonderful.
Love the piano!
I was kind of expecting a BIG chorus at the end, but after listening I realized that this would take the song in a completely different direction.
I LOVE the melancholy I feel during the outro. Thanks, B.D. The mention of the piano is certainly appreciated...

You own this style, Floyd.
Piano and simple story work perfect.
Vic Thanks, Vic.... Spendid piano, Floyd. Next journey I reccomend some reeds. Good golly, man, this is so pretty. I really like the lyrics, the simple production, the subtle yet strongly supporting BGVs. Don't Miss Love --> great advice.
"i asked her out for coffee
she said "how 'bout margaritas instead?" and that's when you fell in love.
You have an incredible knack for making your songs so relatable, starting with lyrics that speak to mind and heart, then lay them over the perfect melody to please the ears, and accompany them all with the best instruments to convey the feeling, then master the production to a professional level of excellence. A near-impossible songwriter's roadmap to follow, but always an enjoyable journey to explore. And you have an incredible knack for putting a big grin on my face! Reeds? I had a soprano sax for a while. I learned it well enough to noodle and play fills as a song played. (of course I learn the signature lick from Baker Street). Someone borrowed it and I never got it back. Just as well. (you don't want to hear me play my fiddle either)

Floyd...I've been trying to learn to play the piano for forty-five years and you just passed me on this...great piano track and beautiful song...love the melody and chord progression...super strings...this is what a ballad should sound like! BTW what keyboard (piano) and strings are you using in this? They are exquisite! One of your best vocal performances IMO.

Splendid! You've got a fine touch on the piano, don't stop whatever you're doing. Super song, great vocals and backing track. The fills on that guitar RT are really nice, and fit right in. Just a superb concept, expertly conceived and executed.

Floyd, you play one hell of a piano, it fit this song perfectly.
Great vocal and lyrics, as usual.
Great mix.
This line really hit home for me as it was that way when I met my wife 60 years ago,"you never know how forever may begin"!
Loved it.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

FJ, smooth tune. Minimalistic, but very tasteful. Very nice piano work! You don't need 3rd party for that  Well composed and sung. Mix is very clear. Good one. Thank you for sharing. Misha. Nice of you to say, Misha. Thanks... It's a beautiful song. It's very well orchestrated between the voice, the guitar, the piano and the strings behind.
Laurent Laurent - thanks for stopping in for a listen...

Beautiful.
The piano and guitar interplay is so good.
The cello and your strings are to quote Janice, “warm and comforting.”
And we second all the great accolades regarding your piano performance.
You really outdid yourself (no small feat) on the vocals. Powerful stuff.
The excellent mix allows every little nuance to have its place on the soundstage.
And that is hard to achieve and too often ignored.
Nothing left to say but a big old WOW!

Very pretty major sevenths and piano playing. Guitar fits right in. Of course, your vocal is stellar as always. You really know how to bring a lyric to life. Gotta say - I was so focused on the lyric that I barely noticed what was in the arrangement. So... excellent arrangement as well, because it kept me focused on the vocal.  Thanks, David.... This new journey is paying dividends in a big way. Your minimalistic style is perfect for the contemplative nature of the melody and lyric. Good choice of complimentary instruments and of course the mix is perfect. Great vocal. A major league player who is always in my starting lineup. Happiest of New Years, Tom Nice of you to say, Tom... And a Great Musical 2024 to You!

Very well crafted tune. The only thing I would suggest is to change "2pm" with "afternoon" but the rest flows like a gentle breeze. Well done.

Your songs are consistently good, Floyd, but if I were selecting a 'best of' this would definitely be on it. Lovely work.

Leon

HI Floyd
Simplicity with elegance isn't as easy to do as one might think. But you pull it off to perfection. As Ray mentioned, the piano is the star - and I'll add, of a beautifully written piece of music. I enjoyed every note, every word - everything. That's one helluva song!
Happy New Year,
Alan & Di Much appreciated, Alan. And a great 2024 to you and Di...

Hi Floyd,
Loved the piano! It really makes the song IMHO. Also loved that Brent fills RT, perfect for the song.
I'm hearing artifacts of some sort throughout the vocal track in a couple of places, and I don't think it's at my end although no one else has mentioned it.
For example check "you never know where forever might begin". Very noticeable on the word "where".
Excellent vocal and lyric of course, and a most enjoyable listen! Thanks, Dave. Those are, in fact, artifacts. The harmony was a generated 3rd below. I thought I had pull down all the spots where that happens. Apparently not... Hi there Floyd,
Clever timing change in the chorus section (ie lines 2 and 3 come at you quicker than you'd expect!)
Lead vocal very accomplished
I’m having real problems with the verse melody line (must be that maj7)
Mix is nicely constructed – sure there was no room for some very light drum/percussion?
Well done on this one!
All the best, Marc Thanks for having a listen, Marc... Thanks, ed...

BTW what keyboard (piano) and strings are you using in this? They are exquisite! One of your best vocal performances IMO. Thanks, Dan. That's encouraging coming from someone who plays piano and strings... The piano I play is a Yamaha P-85. The piano sound comes from the EZKeys2 grand. (I had to reduce the bottom and increase the highs considerably). The strings are a patch from Philharmonik 2... Another great Floyd Jane Production. The clarity and quality of your productions are impeccable. Great Lyrics and storytelling. This is an example for everyone using BIAB to produce great records. Nice of you to say, Elliot... Splendid!
