Hello, floyd
Very powerful tune!
Your vocal is really energy.
RealDrums switching is very cool and splendid.
After listening to this song, I thought I would also like to write a song of "son vs. father" someday on a theme such as the return of a prodigal son.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Shigeki Adachi - as always, thanks for the nice comments. I look forward to your Father/Son song... Janice and I were talking about you letting your inner Springsteen out and then we read the reviews and realized that we had been preempted. So what. Let it out!! I have an old friend who would return from Springsteen shows and talk for the next three days about how powerful the energy was. I think you captured it with this song. All the fj signature markers are here: - great write -- nice to hear one about somebody that is satisfied  - powerful vocal - an arrangment clearly designed to enhance the lyric - outstanding imagery - pro production What did we leave out? Oh yeah, we much enjoyed it! J&B Y'all always give me a smile... The Springsteen concert that I saw in '75 remains THE best show I ever saw - cool thing is, they recorded a show from that tour and released it on DVD (Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Hammersmith Odeon, London '75), so I can "relive" that show anytime I want...

I'm very late to this party but I'm super glad that I gave this a listen.
As usual, this is excellent and I agree with all that has been said.
This is another FJ keeper.
My wife had her driving test today.
She got 8 out of 10.
The other 2 jumped out of the way!

Great write and performance. Pro production as usual. Good use of the two drum sets. Key West was a ghost town two days ago. I gotta run. Work to do. Stay safe. It's gonna be a big un. Tom Thanks, Tom. I hope you are getting things back in order. Let us know if you need anything... Wow, this is good! So many good lines in this one. Very well put together. Nice rocker, with a great message! Just typical Floyd Jane.
Steve
Appreciate that, Steve. Great job all around - vocals, mix, lyrics - as everyone has already said. Kudos FJ! I think this song would also work really well in a traditional country arrangement - not that there's anything wrong with the arrangement you've done - I'm meaning it as a complement on the write. (Plus I wouldn't mind hearing it that way. LOL!) Thanks, Josie... interesting... I originally wrote this as a typical country/folk thing - had sort of a John Denver vibe... but it seemed a bit too typical (or "tame") that way. When I changed it to more of a Rock song, I thought it had more "life"...

LIstened earlier and thought I'd posted a reply --
First class write, production and performance. What more could we need? About the only thing I can think that you may not have covered is a MIDI based song.....
Good stuff here. I think you did a really good job on the vocals on this one.
Charlie Thanks, Charlie - I always look forward to what you might have to say about these offerings... I'm very late to this party but I'm super glad that I gave this a listen.
As usual, this is excellent and I agree with all that has been said.
This is another FJ keeper. Glad you stopped by, Mario...

floyd, This is excellent!!! It completely slipped by me. Only as I was travelling back through the forum today did I notice that I'd missed it. I love the drum intro.... very, very effective. It's a doorway that opens up into a spectacular arrangement. What you've put together is really something way above average! The driving rhythm, your driving vocals and such a powerful arrangement all join hands and shout out 'top notch'. This is music making of the highest calibre!  All the best, Noel
