floyd, I watched Neil Diamond for a few minutes on TV a few nights ago and thought that he was trying to copy your vocal style  I like this. The American way of talking really lends itself to songs because in my town the title would be "There's a traffic light on Prince of Wales drive" which sounds ludicrous as a song title.  I enjoyed that with the door open, volume at 11 etc you excelled yourself this time Alyn Next time I see Neil, I might deck him...steal my style will he?... I'm pretty sure a gibsonated "There's a traffic light on Prince of Wales drive" is a masterpiece just waiting to happen. One listen and it's my all time favorite song of yours. Kenny - you have a way with words.. thanks...

Don't get much better than this! Astounding piano sound. Fantastic write and vocal. One of my favorites from you. Fantastic use of your favorite real tracks. I can guarantee you that I will be giving this one multiple listens. The rest of the world simply turns off when listening to this. Super, Tom

Floyd
A beautiful song. Great production - excellent use of the strings and the mix is crisp and clean.
Lovely vocal - a nice set of lyrics - all so well done.
Peter Thanks, Peter...appreciate all of that... Hey Floyd, Well there's a lot to like with this one! It really takes me back to my H.S. girlfriend... My first true love! I love the piano part and the other RT's have a nice synergism that just works. Excellent vocal (as usual) and mix. A good job of songwriting! I thought the bridge part at the end: "that was a lifetime ago sometimes I think of you I wonder do you wonder about me, too..." ...Was damn tasty!  A fine job! Greg Greg - thanks... the bridge is a favorite of mine - so I appreciate you pointing that out...

There is for me, nothing as lovely as a good song, well sung, where the piano is the dominant instrument
This song satisfies everything in me, for listening pleasure.
Well done Floyd
Paddy G
Thanks, Paddy... We have to say, you've really outdone yourself here!
Definitely your best ballad so far. And definitely one of the best songs posted on the forum ever.
Terrific atmosphere, and beautifully (controlled) vocal.
The interaction between the piano and guitar is very professional.
Rob & Anne-Marie Rob and Anne-Marie - thanks so much for that. There are SO many good songs posted to this forum (all of yours included), to call this "one of the best (ever)" I take as a HUGE compliment...

Excellent. The use of the various RTs or MIDI super tracks is outstanding. Touching lyrics and very nice vocal. Just outstanding over all.

Floyd.
Well, what can I say? More poetic genius.
Sensationally thought out lyrics.
"there's a stoplight on north main street
that keeps changing it's mind"
Wow... Just how good is that?
Thanks Floyd for your continuing genius delivery.
Another feather. Trevor - thanks for stopping by for a listen... and for such a nice review.. Great song that deserves all the accolades. Top notch write, mix, performance and production. Masterful ballad.
I grew up in a town so small the main street wasn't big enough to have a red light to separate north main from south main. But I still get it...
The song did invoke memories of a fellow several years ago telling me "weren't" isn't a 'real' word. You showed em'.
Enjoyed my listen.
Charlie Thanks, Charlie... This is a true story... we really did sit on the porch swing late at night, watching the light change - with no traffic, long into the night...

Floyd,
This song is really outstanding and quite beautiful.
"dark movies, lonely roads
we went as far as we could go
the radio playing songs we never heard
didn't you know it wouldn't last
it was just an even trade
love never more than a handy word"
Lyrics do not get much better than that...
Bob Bob solved our problem on which of so many fine lines to quote -- that'll work. We were grabbed from the get-go. That super midi piano is terrific. It filled up our room like we were sitting next to it. And the strings are terrific. The way both the strings and piano support your outstanding vocal is amazing. It feels like the entire instrumental grouping was brought into the studio to support your write and vocal. The attention to detail in selecting and mixing RT's to work in that manner is a hallmark of your productions and one we never take for granted. Lovely! J&B PS "there's a stoplight on north main street that keeps changing it's mind" Now that will stick with you. Thanks, guys... you are most kind... Floyd, I enjoyed your song. The scaled down instrumentation was perfect for this song and sounded great! It cradled the vocal perfectly and the vocal and lyric delivered! Thanks,Torrey. Torrey - thanks for stopping by for a listen...

floyd stopped by for another listen as this is a great song! and to say that re: I'm pretty sure a gibsonated "There's a traffic light on Prince of Wales drive" is a masterpiece just waiting to happen. The only wait now will be for my other songs to get off page 1 as it's finito!! Mr Diamond isn't going to be copying my style Alyn

It is amazing what this program can do in the hands of someone who knows how to use it, and Floyd knows how!! Of all the wonderful arrangements I've heard on this forum, this is my all time favorite. The interplay between instruments is magical. The ONLY thing I like better than the arrangement/production is the song itself. SO BEAUTIFUL!!! This is a lovely bittersweet reflective song about the past we miss and long for, and the only thing more emotionally powerful than that period of young innocence is the intensity of the emotion with which we long for it. This is so wonderfully written, it would make Jimmy Webb jealous. If I ever get a record deal (don't hold your breath), this song is going on my first album, maybe as the title track. Absolutely WONDERFUL Floyd!!! Take care. Greg Greg - this might be my all-time-favorite review... (heck... no "might" about it!)
