That is a kicker for sure, pumped up and tight. Great song!! Thanks for stopping for a listen! Wow, Floyd!
You just continue to pump out great material.
I wish I knew the secret.
This up-front driving delivery excels.
You continue to elevate this product to new levels.
Every time.
(Wow is an understatement.)
Trev - what a very nice review! I sincerely appreciate it! We are all fortunate to have the magic of BIAB to express our music. It is a most amazing thing... Super song and performance. Very well sung. Great rhythm
Sergio
Appreciate that, Sergio...

Hey Floyd, I've been on hiatus for awhile, (I am back with a new song though) but I see you continue to crank out quality work in my absence!  This is good stuff. The drums sound fabulous as does everything else... Vocal, backing tracks, mix, etc. For some reason this has sort of a Neil Diamond thing going for me.  First time it hit the chorus brought a big grin to my face! Great Job! Greg Greg - thanks for that nice review. I could see this as a Neil Diamond thing - when he gets in his "mean thing"...  You've done it again with a big sounding mix and some fine lyrics. You never miss, Tom Thanks, Tom... Love that piano!!!
I like the "staggered" (relative to the lead vox) background vocals. They add to the energy and intensity.
The song, music and lyrics, is like a good steam locomotive barreling down the middle of my head.
Great job once again on the production.
much enjoyed! Thanks, Lawrence. Getting the piano right in a mix is one of the hardest things, I think... appreciate all the nice comments!! Technically, I loved all the aspects of the song - big sound, expressive singing, excellent production. But - and much to my irritation - I found I wasn't emotionally drawn in, because the hook's lyric didn't appeal to me. Not a complaint against the song at all - that's my loss. David - appreciate the nice comments. It's actually a good thing that the lyric didn't "hit home" for you... that means you never had a girlfriend like this - that drove you to the point of screaming "Grow up!"... This lyric was actually written when I was about 24...a chaotic time in the relationship...

Ooops...time to get this one done and out of the way... That was great, Floyd!
The ghost of… The Boss – what's not to like! A great rocker, great lyrics and melody.
Agree about earlier comments on hard panning toms. How do you mix your drum loops? Have you added some kind of compression to them? One or more tracks, bus-mixing?
And your vocals – outstanding! Really enjoying you taking out your american rocker potential!
Thanks for the ride :-) Einar Einar - Thanks for having a listen. The drums loops in this case are a stereo drum mix - just like RealDrums are - and just like them, I added the same Studio One preset that I always do - which includes an EQ and a multiband compressor. I just drop that one and then don't touch it... Okay, this one is my new favorite of yours. That is, until you come out with your next one, probably. Another great job. The lyrics lay it all out, some great lines in this one. And your vocals drive them home, as always.
Always impressed.
Steve
Steve - glad you stopped by (hope we will see more of you this year!). I'm actually surprised that this might be a favorite - it's kinda "the rough side of me"...  I have a fair number of suggestions on what you can change in your song. If you are looking to make your song bad, let me know...I'm your man. Otherwise, you will be stuck with this great song. Your call really.  People have already mentioned many things...the lyrics, drums..all of that...fantastic. Personally, there is so much working right, that I hate to limit it. I would like to say though, that I really like the hook extending into the piano at the end of the choruses. So cool. The organ coming into build into the next section...awesome! Tearing down and rebuilding that chorus towards the end, beautiful. You did SO MUCH to create interest in listening. Loved it! Strangely, as I'm writing this, Born in the USA is playing in the room I'm in. Hmmm....a sign? Coincidence? I don't think so.

Hello, floyd
Very pop and powerful! This is exactly American Rock song. As others said, Bruce Springsteen and Neil Diamond! Your vocal is very powerful and comfortable as usual. The great bear of the bass drums is also wonderful. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

I don't think BRILLIANT would be too strong a word for this!!! I love the attitude! I love the energy! I love the arrangement and performance! Reminds me of a Springsteen tune...exploding with emotion and passion. You're the man Floyd!! This rocks!!! Take care. Greg

floyd,
I was just scanning through the forum to see what I've missed and I discovered that this song is one of the many!
I listened to "Grow Up" quite a while back but, for some reason that's now lost in history, I didn't say anything!
Your singing, your writing, your arranging are fantastic (as always). And the production... wow!! It's spectacular. I cannot believe just how much sparkle and shine you manage to add to a mix. This is such a good listen!
Really enjoyed it... and then some!
All the best, Noel
