Another radio ready hit... superb work Floyd.
The vocal collaboration is as strong as ever.
This is one of those songs I need to have playing loud when my wife lets me borrow her convertible... Song forged by fire and road scorched by tire!!! OOh.... is that a blue light flashing in my rear view??
Excellent on every level.

floyd and Janice,
What an incredibly rich and vibrant sound! I don't know how you do it but I have no idea how any production could get better than this.... all I could think as I was listening... was.... "This is so-o-o-o-o-o good!"
I'm in awe.
Regards to you both,
Noel
P.S. I was in a hurry to secure top reply position in the thread. It's such a rare event these days. I'll be back later to work my way through understanding this song a bit more thoroughly. What a great musical creation! Hi, Noel! Man! the forum really exploded this weekend, didn't it?! Appreciate you dropping by.... I need to go have a few more listens to your new song... It is super - I'll get there again, soon....

Thanks, again, Dani... you are most kind... Well done you two, this is a corker!
Not only a strong song, but superbly executed with passion, so it hits the 'shiver button'. Great stuff.

Floyd and Janice, Wow! Powerful. Very powerful
What a sensational 'fired-up' delivery
A great team collaboration, with a sensational set of lyrics, and powerful (there's that word again) backing.
Great material.
Thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyable.
Yes, I played it loud, too!

WOW!!! That just plain works! From the first guitar lick (I'm guessing that's the loop-sounds custom for the song), the music and lyrics combine for an exciting, electric, musical journey. The Hornsby style piano is a perfect fit. AND, of course, the vocals/mix are superb. Kudos to all!!! Take care. Greg Thanks, Greg! We appreciate that! - yeah, that opener is the loop - it actually worked throughout the song, with just a tiny bit of tweaking in a spot or two...

This one is so good. Love the opening , the title, the lyrics that explain the title , the choice of instruments with nothing getting in the way of one another, the mix, the drum sound, and of course both voices. Janice can sure sing lead but she also has a natural gift for harmony. This one almost sounds like a second melody. We've all heard this phenomenon before with some of the great harmonizing groups. I suspect that the harmony was particularly challenging due to the stop and go phrasing. An excellent listen. floyd, you're like a river of great songs. It just keeps flowing. Great one. Tom Tom - thanks for such a wonderful review.. I'm pleased about the "second melody" perception...

Wow,
Awesome recording and song! Forged by Fire evokes a powerful uplifting anthem feel that I don’t hear often enough celebrating a love connection that grows overcoming difficulties together. Your lyrical metaphors, melody and harmony blend together really well to support the song’s hook/title. Thanks for sharing.
Atze
Atze - thanks for stooping in for a listen and comment... appreciate that... Really, really cool! We love the heavy guitars coming in in the chorus. Very professional use of the RTs Floyd. We know that for you it's something like driving without touching the wheel  . We love the vocal harmony, especially on the choruses. Thanks, y'all - I enjoyed that review...

Hahaha, no Matrina here but it was fun and thank you for your very kind comments! Janice

What a BIG sound! Love the song FJ!
Great vox by you both!
I agree with rayc on the vocal mix. (I noticed it before reading his comment.) Not a big deal - this is a sensational production!
One of my fav duets by you two!

Floyd & Janice
Just a thoroughly professional song, sound and performance.
Everything about the song is top quality. A great listen.
Both the vocalists are stunning. We really appreciate that, Peter... Floyd / Janice,
Radio ready! This is just great - loved the song and the performances.
Bob Thanks, Bob. (always love to hear that!)

I suspect that the harmony was particularly challenging due to the stop and go phrasing. An excellent listen. floyd, you're like a river of great songs. It just keeps flowing. Great one. Tommy can express my thoughts better than I. So I just quote. I'm impressed. Brent's ballad lead is so versatile. It sounds like made for this song. This one is a winner again. Guenter Thanks, Guenter. I agree - that Brent solo RT is one of the most versatile solo tracks available... It has a lot of variation if you keep re-gen-ing...
Hey I really like this. It reminds me of Bob Seger, musically and lyrically. Great backing vocals Janice.
The write and performance are incredibly strong, but I think the treble is a little too high on this particular track, don't know why. Most of your other tracks have a very rich sound and a wide dynamic range. I am not sure if this was overcompressed or what, but the high end really sticks out.
I love the song though. Wonderful write as always.
Thanks, David. I've listened several times with your thoughts in mind... I don't "hear it"... (the "too much treble thing"). Maybe I'm getting old (actually, no maybe about it..aren't we all?). I would expect that others would mention it. When I listen to it along side other mixes (mine and artists that I listen to), I don't get a sense that it is particularly "trebly". Might be the combination of jangly guitars and crisp piano (both intentional).... I appreciate you bringing it up...

Hey Floyd,
I listened to it again last night (I have listened to it about 5 times actually) and I didn't hear it as much, it sounded about right.
Not quite sure why. It could have been my ears were fried the first time from a long day of listening and recording, or that I got a "bad stream" but you are not streaming so that doesn't make sense. Anyway,maybe my mind was playing tricks one me.
I can say that from listening to your catalog as a whole, I have always been impressed by the rich acoustic balance, the sound separation, and the dynamic range, as I said before. You can actually hear each instrument occupying a distinct spot in the mix, and that is quite astonishing these days and times. So maybe I had some "ghost reference" in my head the first time I heard it. Dunno.
Anyway, I am a big fan, so I will continue to look for feedback that might be helpful in the mix of your forthcoming songs, since the songwriting ability is unquestionable. As an FYI, I keep a log of your comments and others on the forum for all of my songs and use them whenever I remix stuff before I ever do any final versions. I find them to be invaluable that way. Like having a whole team of engineers in your room. :
Well, take care, and again, great song!!

Hi Floyd.
I do like songs with a big sound and this is REALLY big. I took your advice and wound it up nice and loud on the big Tannoys - absolutely fantastic.
I like everything about this track and having Janice in there is the icing on the cake.
Good to see you doing some stadium rock - it suits you!
ROG.

WOW!Yall Can Sang, and Write! Well, Tommy... what a nice thang to say!!!!!! Another awesome collaboration. Super vocal and harmonies. Loved the guitar as well. Thanks, Scott...we appreciate that..
