Hi Floyd,
this is one of your stories I love so much! First thing that hit me was the excellent drums sound. And second the vocals and the Janettes. So beautiful. It was an adventure listening on my Stax for several times. Your guitars give the song a nice recognition value. Thanks a lot.

Like the song, love the lyrics, great choices of instruments and a quality lead guitarist.... Background vocals are excellent and set well in the mix.
Small nits - The overall mix lacks high's and sparkle, the overall mix comes across too hot on my system mildly distorting the lead vocal. At the 1:02 mark - the word 'love' is lost in the mix.
Overall impression. A really good write and arrangement. This is another of your really strong songs that leaves me wondering how you aren't in Nashville writing for everybody and your writes occupying 5-6 spots on the top ten....

Hi, Charlie... I've put up a new mix. I fixed the lost love (HA! who would have thought!?). I've attempted to add a bit of sparkle. I'm not getting the distortion on anything I'm listen on - so let me know if you still hear that... We'll sit and talk some day....

I'm not getting the distortion on anything I'm listen on - so let me know if you still hear that... We'll sit and talk some day.... The mix stole love, you treated her right and stole her back. Ironic? Your changes improved things. Sounds better on my system. Distortion may have not been the correct word, seems it was more of saturation. Things are better now as I listen. Never was bad, just wasn't quite tweaked first go round for me. It would be my pleasure to chat with you sometime.

Hi Floyd, You always entertain me with your songs. I have enjoyed every song that you have posted since I have been on the forum. You have such a unique voice that just reaches out and grabs me and totally absorbs me into the world that you have created with your song and because of that unique voice, it is always the focal point when I listen. Your writing skill (and particularly this song) is just outstanding. The Janettes did their job to add spice to it all. Everything is just is excellent. Sonny

Another great song Floyd and Janice! We love the music and the way you're playing the guitar Floyd. And especially the chorus is wonderful. Good lyrics too. Enjoyed it very much.

Floyd and Janice Sounds very nice on my system lovely production. The guitar layering (and vibraphone) was superb and reminded me of Dan Fogelbergs playing. Pretty melody and great vocal production all round. Another good one.

floyd,
Brilliant song... yet again!
Your performance is outstanding and perfectly complemented by Janice's backing vocals. The thing that really stood out is just how incredibly professional everything sounded. The instruments you've used and the way you've mixed them just couldn't get any better. The melody and the chords... fantastic! This work could stand proudly beside anything coming out of professional studios. This song is definitely at the 'champagne and caviar' end of the spectrum of material that passes through this forum. Once more you've left me sitting here pondering.
All the best, Noel

floyd, you write a good love song straight from the heart. You sing this with feeling, almost as if it is auto-biographical, which adds so much to the delivery. nice harmonies from the janettes. That bar goes up again, I need to be in the International space station to see it now wonderful Alyn

WOW, what a song!! Very passionate delivery. I love songs where the groove just grabs you. This could have easily made a great Eagles tune with that hypnotic beat, the smooth BGs and the beautiful lead vocal. And the concept being turned around to the singer was really cool-crafted yet real. You are the Zen master Floyd!!! Loved it!! Take care. Greg

floyd. Great opener-" i found her crying outside the park the tears on her face would break anyone's heart he hadn't shown up....she needed to talk i listened over coffee and a two hour walk " I was completely hooked from the beginning. Great lyrics, story and melody. The vocals are very strong. Nice arranging on the background vocals. Janice nails her part again. I am glad to hear you putting in your own custom guitar parts. As good as the real tracks are, it is very difficult to find those fills and lead parts that compliment the song. The mix sounds good to me. You can add this to your ever expanding list of well written and well produced songs. Tom

Hi Floyd.
You really have the formula for producing this sort of stuff.
Superb backing as always. Did you actually play a vibraphone (much respect), or are we talking keyboards, here? (Still respect, but a real vibraphne? I'd love to have one of those.)
Your vocals are perfect for this song and I particularly like your voice when you stretch into the higher regions. Janice? Well what can I say that I haven't said before? Amazing.
Wonderful song.
ROG.

Charlie - thanks for the second go-round... Hi Floyd, You always entertain me with your songs. I have enjoyed every song that you have posted since I have been on the forum.

Your writing skill (and particularly this song) is just outstanding. The Janettes did their job to add spice to it all. Everything is just is excellent. Sonny Sonny - thanks - for all of that. It is getting to the point that the best listening I can find is right here on this forum... You have added to that... glad you found your way here... Another great song Floyd and Janice! We love the music and the way you're playing the guitar Floyd. And especially the chorus is wonderful. Good lyrics too. Enjoyed it very much.

Thanks to both of you... Merry Christmas to y'all... Very great. One of your best.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
