Touching story wrapped in strong lyrics. Your emotional voice really shines when there are no guitars to hide details. That piano sounds great and the cello and especially the accordion bring nice variation to the dark mood. After this kind of song that gets deep into your mind it is difficult to listen to anything else than the silence the fading accordion leaves behind.

Floyd, I think this is really nice, howbeit very sad, which was your intention, I know. I thought the piano was fine, but since you play you might just do it yourself. For me, I find I just can't get the precise feeling I am looking for on upfront melodic piano unless I do it myself, especially if I am going for "haunting" and the piano is in the foreground. FWIIW and YMMV etc etc..  I did want to do the piano myself. I had worked it all out. But I find it VERY difficult to record using a VST piano sound (MIDI)...I haven't figured out how to set it up to avoid the delay - which makes it nearly impossible to record a new part to existing tracks...my brain quickly gets confused. Floyd...poignant and powerful...you constructed a very appropriate and convincing piano track IMO...though I do agree that all of the keyboard tracks are much more difficult to work with than the guitar real tracks in BiaB....that being said this is a beautiful piece...the lyric is the star here...a sad and beautiful story wrapped in a tender and haunting melody...it's another masterpiece and instantly one of my favorites of yours...as a writer/composer you always keep the bar high for the rest of us to emulate (if that were possible)...Dan Very nice of you to say, Dan. Thanks. Floyd, what a powerful song about many whom are trying to make it in today's world.
This hit home as we have family members in similar situations.
Outstanding lyrics and an excellent backing band.
One of your absolute best. Thanks, Mario. Not sure it's a good thing for this to "hit home"...

Hi floyd jane,
Superb composition full of emotion. The piano is excellent. Putting the accordion back was daring but in the background, it found its place. It's really pleasant to listen to. I appreciated. Well done
Kindly regards

Hi Floyd,
A bit late, but just entered the Forum again for some days now after a nasty time.
A very emotional and sad song, but done very good by you.
Of course, because all songs you make are very good. this is no exception.
Really nice song.
Oh, yes one thing is. The piano. It sounds very nice, but still I miss something in it's sound.
I was thinking what David S wrote in his post to you.
You are also very right about BiaB and their piano's. Their cello's could also need some more sensitivity...
About the piano's; I used two piano's in a song like they are one.
That way I had the sound I liked most. after all I can't play a piano fluently. You?
Hans

A powerful sad but haunting song. Especially nice use of the accordion.
Superb work, and an excellent vocal as always.
Peter Thanks, Peter... Wow. That's some write.
you think my children care
it gets to where you count on them
not being there
Yes, the piano fits well. Cello is great, and the accordion is a great substitute for string swells. I has listening through the example solo pianos tracks you linked to, and I noticed that an intimate string section with swells was used quite often.
And of course, everything else is stellar as well. Thanks, David... FJ,
Common subject -> Extraordinary performance! You conveyed waitress story very well. Excellent write in all respects. Accordion was a treat. Definitely one of your top songs. Two spins, sounds great. Mix is spotless. Thank you for sharing,
Misha.
P.S. I see what you mean by pianos. Wil head over wish section now.
Appreciate that, Misha... Wow.
This is one of those songs that when the performance is over, the audience is dead silent for a moment before they erupt in applause. The song pulls hard at your heart.
I love the minimal instrumentation. I think the piano works, fitting the mood of the song.
One of your best, and you have a lot of best. Thanks for that, Scott... Wow so much emotion Floyd. The vocal and the piano just filled the room with a very emotional song. Really well done. Thanks, Scott... “they say to set your sights
on the highest star
that's just to keep you from seeing
where you really are”
The above lines AND the way you sang them are powerful. Emotive to the max.
We remember this song and it still is “stronger than a garlic milkshake!”
The cello and accordion sound excellent. Whatever manipulations you did with the piano it sounds great in what's played and also the applied grand sound.
The vocal and lyric are stellar.
We hope that waitress if she's still with us is having a better life these days.
Awesome!
J&B
PS. We love your album cover!
