Floyd, Really great song that reminds us of....indeed, like others already said, Bruce Springsteen! We like the lyrics too. And as always, your vocals are top notch! Rob and Anne-Marie

" i can't fight your fights i'm not your shining knight" "you cinderella your days away conjure dragons for me to slay" Janice wanted to make sure we mentioned her most favorite out of many favorite lines. Man, those drums...from the git-go...they sound over the top good. And when the piano makes itself known it just shouts at you...in a good way of course. Great BIG sounding mix. In short, along with the above and propelled by your vocals this puppy just ROCKS! Now if you'll just add it to SoundCloud so we can put it on our fav list J&B

Floyd, I also hear Springsteen in here along with Steve Winwood among others! It's a powerful song and I am with Robert in saying that bridge has some great lyric content! Another very fine offering from you (I expect no less). Thanks, Torrey Thanks, Torrey. The Springsteen thing is not actually intentional. It's just the way most of my Rock stuff comes out - probably because I wore out my copy of Born To Run...it's just a "part of me"... That's a keeper, Floyd. Deep. We like deep. Ed - thanks for stopping by...

You just continue to pump out great material.
I wish I knew the secret.
This up-front driving delivery excels.
You continue to elevate this product to new levels.
Every time.

Another great rocker, song, lyrics, etc. Great choice of musicians. What style did you start with? Steve - always glad to see you drop by... Good writing and rocking melody. Awesome!!! Thanks, Donna... Floyd,
One of my new favorites from you... The production work on this is incredible - everything is nuanced just right.
Loved it!
Bob Appreciate that, Bob...

Hey Floyd, I've been on hiatus for awhile, (I am back with a new song though) but I see you continue to crank out quality work in my absence! This is good stuff. The drums sound fabulous as does everything else... Vocal, backing tracks, mix, etc. For some reason this has sort of a Neil Diamond thing going for me. First time it hit the chorus brought a big grin to my face! Great Job! Greg

What a tune! I enjoyed every aspect of this. The progression and how it picks up in energy for the chorus is perfect. It displays a strong sense of songwriting knowledge, and your vocal delivery here is flawless too. The lyrics are vivid and memorable as well. Overall just a nice catchy tune Great work, and thanks for sharing! Thanks for stopping in, Deryk... Hi Floyd.
Enjoying the unrepentant pissed off lyrics. That's a song I could sing. Love the teeth in it.
Cheers. Thanks, Richard - I like your take on this!...

Love that piano!!!
I like the "staggered" (relative to the lead vox) background vocals. They add to the energy and intensity.
The song, music and lyrics, is like a good steam locomotive barreling down the middle of my head.
Great job once again on the production.
much enjoyed!

Man, you had me hooked right from that opening drum riff panned left! Drums are huge and sound great.
I love hearing you do rock material, you should let your inner rock guy out more often! 'Cause this is as good as it gets, sort of a Springsteen meets Tom Petty vibe.
Lots of great lines here, I think my favorite is:
"you cinderella your days away conjure dragons for me to slay"
Very cool ending too with that echo repeat on the guitar.
Awesome!
Dave - interesting to hear you say that. I have never consider myself much good at Rock'n'Roll since I don't have that voice for it - using when I try, people refer to it as "Country Rock" - which is really still just Country... Always appreciate people quoting their favorite lines... those are a bit more "poetic" than I usually get... Thanks for mentioning that last guitar hit - I really like that, too...

Technically, I loved all the aspects of the song - big sound, expressive singing, excellent production. But - and much to my irritation - I found I wasn't emotionally drawn in, because the hook's lyric didn't appeal to me. Not a complaint against the song at all - that's my loss.

What a cool song Floyd. Loved the backtrack on this. Drums were just awesome. Super vocal and lyric. And the guitar was just so good. Just super Floyd. Well done.
Really appreciate that, Scott... thanks! Hi Floyd,
I think I've liked every song you've ever done, but this heavier side is still the side of you I like the best.
A fabulous driving groove going on with some superb vocals and harmonies.
Storytelling is one of your strengths and as ever, this has some splendid lyrics.
Mix sounded great on the mains, but a minor niggle - in the 'phones the hard-panned toms took me a bit by surprise - otherwise, a killer drum sound.
Hey, great guitars on this one - loved them.
Cheers, ROG. ROG - I certainly appreciate that you think my heavier stuff is "worthy"...means a lot coming from you. The drums were a stereo loop set (from Drums On Demand) - like RealDrums are stereo - so in this case, the panning of the toms were already in the mix. I have some drum sets from them that are all separated out, but I don't use them much - always seems like more work than I want to deal with so I end up grabbing and using the stereo mixed ones...

That was great, Floyd!
The ghost of… The Boss – what's not to like! A great rocker, great lyrics and melody.
Agree about earlier comments on hard panning toms. How do you mix your drum loops? Have you added some kind of compression to them? One or more tracks, bus-mixing?
And your vocals – outstanding! Really enjoying you taking out your american rocker potential!
Thanks for the ride :-) Einar

Okay, this one is my new favorite of yours. That is, until you come out with your next one, probably. Another great job. The lyrics lay it all out, some great lines in this one. And your vocals drive them home, as always.
Always impressed.

I have a fair number of suggestions on what you can change in your song. If you are looking to make your song bad, let me know...I'm your man. Otherwise, you will be stuck with this great song. Your call really. People have already mentioned many things...the lyrics, drums..all of that...fantastic. Personally, there is so much working right, that I hate to limit it. I would like to say though, that I really like the hook extending into the piano at the end of the choruses. So cool. The organ coming into build into the next section...awesome! Tearing down and rebuilding that chorus towards the end, beautiful. You did SO MUCH to create interest in listening. Loved it! Strangely, as I'm writing this, Born in the USA is playing in the room I'm in. Hmmm....a sign?
