I wasn't on the forum in 2014, but it's good to have you back here. You've created a traditional country song, which I much prefer. Superb vocal. Mix sounds perfect to my ears. Thanks for the spin and your generous comments! Hi, Scott. Excellent work - classic country sound, and you've got the perfect voice for it. Happy retirement! That means you can spend more time on songs.  Thanks. I sure would like to spend lots of time on music and songs and be as productive as you and others are. Hi Scott.
This is first-class listening. Your voice is such a great fit with this genre and your performance was outstanding. I really enjoyed listening to and your song. A++ all the way!
All the best with your retirement!
--Noel Gosh, Noel, thank you! Great song, great use of BIAB, and man, you have THE perfect voice for this genre.
Perfect!
Enjoyed my listen.
A lot! Perfect? I don't know what to say except thank you! Good to see ya back around, Scott.
You do classic Country so well. Perfect voice for it.
Nice harmonies, too.
Good clean mix.
Enjoyed.
fj Thanks for all of that, Floyd. Truly value your feedback. Hope you and yours are doing well.

Old school country, done extremely well. Love your voice!
I read through your old thread while listening. I was around then, maybe was on vacation and missed your post. Lots of faces on that thread that I remember but don't hangout here anymore, kind of sad actually.
Welcome back, and I'm looking forward to hearing more from you. Thanks! Hard to believe it's already been more than 10 years since I first showed up at this hangout. Hi Scott
Your vocal is exceptional, love the tone of your voice….wish I had an ounce of your Vox. I could imagine Mr.Isaak covering this. Great song, thank you for sharing.
Kind regards Thanks for taking the time to listen and for those very kind remarks! Congrats Scott! Your vocals show what all those AI vocals are missing: your fine interpretation underlines the story and fires the emotions of this fine country song. Perfectly produced honouring the great tradition. Oh my gosh. How nice of you to say. As I mentioned in my OP, I've been absent for a while, and I also didn't realize that AI is on everyone's mind these days. But as you point out, music is human and it has to be full of human emotion. Otherwise, it's just artificial.

Scott,
This is a crystal clear mix and your vocals are perfect for the song! I like the line "EVERY FLOWER WAS BLOOMING FOR THE SUN" as if the inanimate world was expressing human will. Also the line about "TEARS... PREYING ON MY FEARS" anthropomorphizes the tears into an entity with manipulative intent. You have a very interesting way of expressing common ideas in an uncommon way.

Also the line about "TEARS... PREYING ON MY FEARS" anthropomorphizes the tears into an entity with manipulative intent. You have a very interesting way of expressing common ideas in an uncommon way. Thank you, Pat. And I really appreciate your thoughts and comments about the the lyrics. You've reminded me of a discussion about 'prosody' that took place at a songwriting workshop I attended years ago. What I recall is the idea or convention that lyrics should roll off the tongue the same way the spoken word does. For example, we say 'My friend lives around the corner,' but not 'My friend around the corner lives.' So the latter might be a poor choice in a song, but I definitely break the rule sometimes. Mostly because I can't find a better way of saying something that sounds more natural:)
