A very nice country rock 'n roller!
Solid vocals too, as always ;-)
Thanks, y'all... Floyd
Clever lyrics good melody, catchy chorus, well sung, liked the pause after "this has gotta stop".
Another excellent composition.
Appreciate that, Peter...

this boy's done feeling like some
headlight-paralyzed deer
the rest of me might just keep on running
but the heart stops here
Love that payoff for the chorus!! If I listed all of the great things about this, I'd kill a virtual tree (too many 1's and 0's). Fantastic song "angle", great lyrics, and music/vocals/mix to complete a wonderful delivery. Floyd continues to bat 1000!! Great, fun stuff Floyd!! Take care. Greg HAHA! "kill a virtual tree..." Thanks for the fun review, Greg... Thanks, Tommy... Super! Your Lyrics are marvelous! The song is very tight and right in the pocket.
(on my second listen, I wondered how it might feel with a modulation at the second verse?)
What you did with the reverb at the brakes was great, and I smiled at your vocal "here-rrrr" in the fade-out. Thanks, Lawrence. Always nice when the "little things" are noticed and appreciated. Every time I here that last "here..." I think "Russel Smith...Amazing Rhythm Aces" (and "where'd that come from?")

Great! Sounds like it would be a juke box mainstay to me. I can smell the spilled beer and sawdust on the dance floor, and this one's been in the rotation so long that everyone knows it by it's letter and number. Darlin' play that G 29 again,
I feel like dancin', let's give it a whirl! (or something like that). And for some weird reason I think of Queen and imagine Freddie Mercury and someone says, hey how about a good old fashioned rocker like Elvis used to do? and Freddie comes up with Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Someone says, Floyd, how about a good old fashioned country driving dance song like you don't hear much anymore and Floyd comes up with a great one.

Another great one from the master. Fantastic all around, great dance tune, and a toe tapper too!!!!! Steve - always a surprise to see you pop up - and always welcome... Thanks! You need to be putting up some songs... Floyd,
Great song, great story line. So ‘no more slow dancing” you lament, who needs it, just give me more of this ‘Rocking drive, for a cheer up, it really works for me.
Paddy G

Hi Floyd,
great lyrics. "this boy's done feeling like some headlight-paralyzed deer". I love this imagery.
Music, vocals and mix are outstanding as always.
Another of your hits.
I really enjoyed my listens.
Guenter Thanks, Guenter... as always, thanks for the continuing support.. WOW! Great song and vocal. Your arranging, editing, and mixing of RTs is off the charts. I am taking notes for my recordings. Thanks for sharing.
Fred
Appreciate that, Fred. (you're pretty good at it, yourself...)

You are a great writer and performer Floyd Jane. Top shelf lyrics. I love the Truman pun (laughing). It would have very clever to have gotten that into the song somehow. Good stuff.

WOO HOO!!!
I LOVE THIS! It's so clever from start to finish... your rhymes are all very original... not a single cliche anywhere... and they have zing too!
Above the rhymes, the concept is also a very fresh adaptation of an age-old C&W theme... the title is also very appropriately woven into the mix without sounding contrived in any way shape or form!
Your choice of real tracks is as snappy as your delivery... perfect match all around... and you did all the right things to make your drums pop! There is a wide variety of skill evident in every aspect of this song, and the end result is just a complete immersion in the inimitable floyd jane experience!
Floyd.. (I'm not kidding here.. dead serious...) if you ever decide to take your show on the road, I want first shot at being in the band. I'll play any instrument in the mix, work as roadie or do sound just to be part of your group. Stick it in the back of your mind for future reference. ;-)

This is a lot of fun Floyd. Glad you had fun, David... Country Rockin' at its best. This is a good write, performance and production. I always enjoy your stuff, and you give us a lot of variety. Thanks, Charlie...I like to shake it up..gets boring doing the same thing all the time... No one can do country like Floyd can do, good song nice melody line and great production, really enjoyed the listen.
Musiclover Appreciate that, musiclover... thanks for dropping by...

Dang! In the proverbial perfect world we'd flash back a few years and Brooks and Dunn would have this at the top of the chart. Really. Well, the write is better than the stuff they did...but you get the point  Some us dink around with multiple genres/sub-genere's and on occasion get away with it. But you are able to excel in them from jazz (In The City) to country rock and a heap more in between. The write perfectly fits the groove although it is more nuanced and subtle than one would anticipate for a country rocker. And, man, that fj signature production. It's loud but nothing is squashed (my new technical term) and EVERYTHING has it's little niche happily and politely residing with everything else in the mix. Superb! J&B

Hello, floyd
What a powerful sound and vocal.
I entirely agree with Charlie. I am always watching your stuff, too.
I enjoyed listening a lot.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi
Shigeki - I appreciate you coming by to listen to my music... I imagine Country is not one of you favorites... (your stuff is very professional!) Cool lyrics to take the usual grief based story and slap it around with clever lines and a cool melody.
Now, I wonder when BIAB will have some Brownsville styles.
Cool work floyd jane. Thanks, ray... I believe, with a little imagination and experimentation, you can make BIAB do almost anything you want... several comments: so many songwriters neglect the beginning of songs and their song has a hard time getting off the ground . . . not this song . . . the beginning catches you the minute you start listening! I like to use double entendres in music, so when I hear someone else do it, I smile to myself. when you did a break at "this is gonna stop....right here", I was like YES! Good Job! way to drive home the point using the music to emphasize the point! I like the emphasis with the drums on "the rest of me might just keep on running" - I think I would have even seen you take it out another bar so I could run far enough away  very well constructed and thought out sound Floyd! Blessings! Thanks, Bill... Apprecaite that...

Another one of your impeccable deliveries. This is really good, I mean really good.

You've excelled again.

Hi Floyd.
A great song with a fabulous sound and a loud mix mix which doesn't sound over-compressed.
What a very, VERY clever arrangement. Holds your attention from the first bar to the last.
Super professional as ever, Floyd.
ROG. Always appreciate hearing your take on these, ROG. Thanks... Great! Sounds like it would be a juke box mainstay to me. I can smell the spilled beer and sawdust on the dance floor, and this one's been in the rotation so long that everyone knows it by it's letter and number. Darlin' play that G 29 again,
I feel like dancin', let's give it a whirl! (or something like that). And for some weird reason I think of Queen and imagine Freddie Mercury and someone says, hey how about a good old fashioned rocker like Elvis used to do? and Freddie comes up with Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Someone says, Floyd, how about a good old fashioned country driving dance song like you don't hear much anymore and Floyd comes up with a great one. HAHAHA! I totally enjoyed that review, Kenny!!!

I appreciate the join-the-band offer... Now and again, I think back to when I used to play in bars (as a solo or duo) and think "that might be fun" but the thought doesn't last long...considering all the work that would require. I do miss doing writers' nights - where you get to play original material and only need to be prepared to do 3 or 4 songs... haven't done that for a while either... it's just writing and recording these days. Like the Beatles! HA! Or Todd Rundgren! HA! And with this forum, my backup is spread across the world...we'll get you involved in the next one of those... "we are the world" - literally...
