Fun listen, solidly done all around. Loved the banjo poking through near the end. The only nit is "what you're made of"... Hey, I had to look for something! ![grin grin](/forums/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif) It's a good reminder that it I looked hard enough, I could find everything I needed to build my track in BiaB. Except for Janice, of course! ![laugh laugh](/forums/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif)

Floyd,
Boy, I really like this tune. The repetition of “twisted’ in the chorus really gives this tune a hook—magnetic. But the lyrics just work throughout the song and it’s what, for me, makes this song work in all the right ways. Killer guitar solo, BTW. Add to it the great production—you have a terrific song here. Bravo!
All the best,
Deej

Yeah, I love this!
Vocal and harmonies are spot on.
Great job on the write and I really like the chorus, very strong.
Production as always is top notch, man, those drums! Such a great sound.
Enjoyed the listen, floyd!
Thanks, Dave...really appreciate that...

Hi Floyd,
A fabulous track and for me, it has to be my favourite so far.
A wonderful production with so much going on, yet all still coherent and everything in it's own space. Excellent stereo both on the mains and the 'phones. Loved the whole thing, but especially the sound of the bass and the kick drum, which REALLY kicked.
Great lyrics, melody, harmony and super performance from both you and Janice.
All this and a guitar solo too! I'd like to think you put that in just for me, but I have to be realistic....
Not been here as much as I'd like recently, but happy to have caught this one.
Cheers, ROG. thanks, ROG. I always look forward to hear what you might have to say about how things sound through the mains... and, yes! I do think about you every time I mix a solo... What Will ROG Think?? ![smile smile](/forums/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif)

I really love the chorus. It's so punchy and really sticks with you. I can definitely relate to this song right now. Thank you for sharing this song with us all. Also just wanted to say that the lyrics of this song are really lovely and perfect.
Cheers, Ember

What? What?! WHAT?!? Who wrote this? Did you hire a ghost writer? Floyd, you are a MASTER of story telling in a song. That's your lane. Stick to it. You are NOT allowed to venture over to the "non-specific listener fill in their own story" lyric and dominate that too! No! No! No! Go back to what you were great at before you were great at this please. I'm not sure how you got in here, but...security! Seriously, I am beyond impressed. I love everything about this song. The lyrics are fantastic... hiding your intentions only make 'em clearer
the production is fantastic... You had me at the drums and never lost me. Everything is clear and represented so well. The performance is fantastic... Anyone with ears and a heart can tell that! The arrangement is fantastic... Love the structure and how parts move in and out as they should. A sprinkle of guitar between vocal phrasing to keep in interest, the backing vocals at chorus two forward for heightening was OMG! I'll stop but...just...wow! Melodically, THAT sir, was CATCHY! I noticed people only bring Janice in when they have a song good enough to be awesome. Or is it when people bring Janice in, the song is now awesome? OH! That's what it is! (secret to a great song there.) You may want to consider a name change. Drop the "e" in "Jane" and just add "ice." ![wink wink](/forums/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif) **Edit** Oh yeah, if this song is about me, then forget everything I said. Actually, I wouldn't be able to deny that it would still be my favorite song I've heard on the forum so far. ![smile smile](/forums/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) Thank you for making this song! I'm not sure "Thank you" suffices for such a wonderful review... you definitely made my day! (and I'm sure Janice would say "thanks", too.. she is a treasure...)

Floyd, I swear to God I have heard this before. Maybe it was in a conversation or something, but I KNOW I have heard these words before. Strangely enough, I think I know WHO it is about. I called Carly and she swore it wasn't about Mick, so now I think I know for sure. But I ain't saying. ![smile smile](/forums/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) Great song man!! Yes... it's a song about Carly Simon... ![smile smile](/forums/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif)

Boy this song has such a cool feel to it. Lyrics were just excellent. You tell such a great story with you lyrics. Super vocal and harmonies were so well done. I just loved the guitar on it. Just growled on the low register and the highs have such a cool bite to them. Scott - thanks for your continued support...appreciate it...

Hi Floyd and Janice,
This has a slightly more rock feel, than some of your previous recordings. Very cool chord progression and craftsmanship as usual.

As a self-proclaimed songwriter/lyricist, I'm supposed to be able to come up with new, catchy ways to say something. But ya know what, Floyd? I agree with all that has been said. The only words that comes to mind I've not yet seen is ... WOW!
It's a great song, production and delivery in every sense of the word. Who says only Nashville can produce top-quality country music suitable for the massive audience of the genre? Some of those Nashville suits might want to have their guys take a listen to this - they might get a real good lesson on lyric writing, production technique,arrangement and delivery. That's all I have to say about this gem.
Alan Alan - thanks for that nice review!

A great write, performance and production. You really have the drums popping on this one. You and Janice are developing an almost signature sound and there's a tightness that can't be overlooked. Enjoyed this one a lot.

Hello, floyd
Excellent song! Very catchy and melodically,. Really love your vocal and the harmonies by Janice. The chord progressions repeated one after the other with descent and ascend of the bass line many times are very powerful. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Shigeki Adachi - Thanks for listening to another! And for the nice review...

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
