Floyd...you are a master country ballad writer for sure...I love the way you balance and keep the syllables in the groove...it always flows like a gentle stream...lovely melody and really good production...super phrasing...really nice track...that piano is really coming along! Thanks, Dan. Much appreciated.... A song for a dark room, a deep chair, something wet to ease the despair.
Loved it.
The more you play in a song the more directly it communicates...hearts on a string line. Poetry to my ears. (like, really...there is poetry weaved throughout your comments...  )

This is sounding so rich and beautiful, Floyd. That you love every part of the process shows because your work is always so polished. Thanks, Beth... The piano in this is sublime as is the guitar solo both working so well with the band. That is much appreciated.. Most excellent piece of songwriting. I always felt that Jane Siberry's Love is Everything was the most longingly beautiful song ever, but this is definitely up there. What a very nice thing to say.... heeh. I'll often play one of your songs for someone, or someone asks when they hear what I'm listening to, "Wow, who is that?" I proudly say, "Yeah, a guy I know." Okay, I may be stretching the breadth of my knowledge, but I also claim to know Victa Wooten. I can use all the friends I can get these days... One thing I can say for sure though is that, yes, Floyd, I think of you often (as the song asks), and I think you are one of the best songwriters and singers I know <--there I go again with all that pretense. And now you are also climbing the ranks of pianists and guitarists. Appreciated! I've added a couple of new instruments to the list as well No need for any further comment on this outstanding song, but when I play it for others I'll say, "Hey, here's the newest one my friend sent me." Thank you, my friend.

Hello Floyd,
Beautiful melody, beautiful singing, and oh, all those painful memories...
But that's what love can do.
And you're one of the best interpreters of it!

The lyrics reflect my thoughts and is probably universal. The sparseness of the production gives it a fullness of feeling.
Such a beautiful song. One of your best. If I were performing, I would cover this song. What a very nice thing to say, Scott. Appreciated. Your lyric reminds me of why you have been my mentor in songwriting.
Your mastery of brick and mortar is on full display here. Your piano is sublime and your guitar solo is perfectly suited and the joy you feel in your performance provides an equal amount of joy for your listeners. This is nice to hear... And, although you did not mention singing as one of your favorite pastimes, it sure brings pleasure to us. Funny, I don't ever really Think about singing. Just something I have always done. I'm always surprised that someone might actually Like hearing me sing... The production is top bar in all aspects. Thanks! Your recent guitar, piano and bass journeys remind us of one of our favorite quotes about the joys of cycling. It speaks to the deep joy that comes from challenges, improvement and the sense of accomplishment. And that without those we might as well be playing tiddlywinks. We feel your joy! Loved it! J&B I'm considering getting a set of tiddlywinks. I could play those!!!! Touching lyrics performed convincingly straight from the heart. What a nice thing to say.. The band is simple, but there is everything needed to elevate this song high above throwaway music. Enjoyed the piano, the bass, the picking guitar, cello, mallets, solo... great airy mix. Much appreciated.... This song combines all of your songwriting, playing, mixing and singing highlights into one song. You are the superstar of this forum, even though you should be on a world tour with sold-out arenas.
Janne Janne - thanks for very nice comments....

Hello Floyd,
A first-class song.
Absolutely superbly played and sung.
However, I'm not sure whether the acoustic guitars you
chose are the right ones for this song and whether they
are even necessary.
I think the song would be perfect without the two acoustic guitars
and just with your fantastic guitar solo.
In any case, an impressive performance, Floyd.
Andi ;-) Thanks, Andi. Appreciated... floyd,
This is the ultimate love song.
Even if a new partner have been found, I'm sure everyone thinks about their old partners from time to time.
The song, piano, and vocals are all wonderful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Shigeki Adachi - thank you... Very soulful singing and a beutiful song. Bravo! Thanks, Brno...

Love this Floyd. Super vocal and lyric. Your productions are so good. You and Bud inspired me to start taking some online courses in Production, Mixing and Mastering. After a couple of years of study slowly starting to get better at a very deep process. Well done
