Janice and I listened before reading prior comments and she immediately noticed the cool chord change that has already been noted. Me? I liked it off the bat but don't have those subtleties y'all do to immediately focus in on something like that. Writing for me would be real simple.
Great lyric and vocal -- Janice just said I was going to have to record another Fred Astaire movie for her...thanks floyd.
Hey, you really got that strang thang going. And....Janice just said over my shoulder George Strait needs that song. And I said "he's retired." What the heck -- it's a pro production and a top notch tune. In my perfect world, he wouldn't be retired, would hear this and make everybody a lot of sheckels.

The band and the orchestra.... You forgot the writer and the composer, who are also deserving of some praise:)
Just top notch in every respect. Your vocal is outstanding. The lyrics in the bridge seal the deal.
Radio ready.

I’m very late to this party but I really glad that I came!
It’s all been said but I will add that I wish I had your composing and singing talent! I just wonder why you are not signed to a record deal yet!
Loved it!
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Floyd...
Why in the heck aren't you a household name? If nothing else, why in the heck isn't your name credited as lyricist on half the stuff coming out of Nashville? It should be!
Great song, great production and fabulous arrangement. Wish I (Al) had half your chops! Stellar in every possible way!

Hey floyd, You've excelled yourself yet again! What a great hook! As I usually do, I pressed play, sat back, closed my eyes and listened. While I was listening, I could see George Strait singing. This is a wonderful song and I'm pretty sure it's something that would appeal to him. You really should try and get it to him. The lyrics are awesome, the melody is brilliant, the arrangement is very inventive. There's nothing quite like a solid line of strings to boost the emotional barometer of a song. These strings are perfect. The melody for the line "I may be a simple man" really caught my imagination and pulled me into the music. I loved the drop down to "man" and I was completely hooked after hearing that line. As others have already mentioned, the m7b5 chord for line 6 is an outstanding choice. I also thought the chord on "need" in the bridge that was the pivot for getting back to the refrain was incredibly well chosen. The bridge did everything a bridge should do and then some. For what it's worth, I found the change in melody and harmony very satisfying to experience. I couldn't help but get swept along. This AABA form with only the refrain of the last A-section is amazing. I've never experienced it before but it is such a terrific musical journey. To my ears, the ending was perfect! The feeling of being left up in the air, floating in love was just great. (A lot happens inside my head when I have my eyes closed, listening ) I'm going back to listen once more ... Wow! Noel

I love this song! - The lyrics are great and grabs you right away from the very first line. This song is very marketable ... I can hear Brad Paisley making you a ton of money with it. Get it to him! Nice mix and production. Was Forest Gump your inspiration?

Hey Floyd.
Been really busy of late, so I'm playing catch-up again, here, but I'd hate to have missed this one.
This is actually my favourite of yours, to date. To my mind, there's a slight change in your style with this one, from the opening bars with the descending bass line, through to the bigger, more lush production.
The whole sound is very "big" and for once I can honestly say the stereo works beautifully for me in the 'phones as well as on the mains. (I'm sure you remember my comments of old!) There's a lovely big spread to the sound without anything sounding artificially placed.
The song, itself, is terrific. The lyrics are memorable, the vocal is wonderful, the production and mix are simply professional.
This one made my day.
ROG.

Mario - thanks for that. Used to dream a record deal when I was a kid. Man, that seem like a long time ago, now...
Al - Why? LOL - the way of the world, I guess... thanks for the kind words...
Noel - You always say the nicest things. I thought this one might appeal to you on a lot of different levels. I knew the structure would "get your attention". I'm pleased that you liked it. Thanks for listening.... Now, if only George would come around and have a listen, eh?
Elliott - thanks for the nice comments. Hadn't ever thought of it as a "Brad song" - would that be nice, though... wasn't a Gump thing - was that something in the movie?
ROG - ALWAYS love to hear when a song works for you. Thanks for taking it for a spin - and for the very nice comments...

Floyd, Floyd, Floyd, why are you not a star yet. I love your music so much that I listen to at least 3 or 4 songs everyday from you.
Music is an expression that is a universal language, Never criticize anybody to harshly. They need time to grow but when they do, they do. Always be kind in what you say and do because the man upstairs is watching.
