Noel said it much better than I could. Floyd you always sound professional but this one is really exceptional. Your vocals (loved those soft delays!), lyrics and one hell of a backing track.
This is one of your best if not your best to date. Thanks for that, Mario... Wonderful song. Really enjoyed this. Ermar - I appreciate you having a listen...

Superb.
The baritone guitar is fabulous - I love them generally but that's a very cool RT and even cooler use of it.
The only nit was that at 1.24 it seemed to abruptly jump up in volume & wide in the stereo image.
Listened a couple of times because it's, really, superb.
The use of reverb and panning adds to the cinematic sensation.
Voice is perfect for this as well -. As we sometimes say in Australia...UNROOL!
Cheers

AWESOME!!! Don't need a video since the strong lyrical images bring flashes of Clint Eastwood across my mind. Everything here is perfect, from the story to the musical bed, to a fantastic vocal (one of your best Floyd)!! Could not be better!! Take care. Greg

Floyd,
Love the drama in the music. There's perfect prosody between music and lyric. I'm enjoying some these "outta the box" tunes you've posted lately - really, really good stuff. This one has a ton a of dynamic tension throughout - it's near impossible to not listen all the way through.
I'm not sure what the level above "excellent: is called, but this certainly earned its way there. Really really super.
Alan Alan - thanks for the very kind words... really appreciated...

Floyd,
This is just SO GOOD! Great song and a tremendous vocal...
Love the band, mix and the handclaps are very cool. Everything about this mix is so nuanced - sounds like a record to me!
Loved it!!!

One of the best song I've heard on this forum. Gorgeous ballad with dark mood, excellent production with nice details. Reminds me of The Gunman by Prefab Sprout, maybe all song about men with guns sound bit similar  Janne

This is pretty sweet on my cheap speakers... I mean after all.... it's got a tremolo guitar....
I will check this out on cans later.
Really nice lyric writing and I loved the twist in the plot at the end. Everyone eventually meets someone better. Ironic that is was his own son.
Well done my friend.

Looking forward to the movie this is the theme song to!
Some amazing touches and attention to detail, along with a terrific composition.
Fantastic a real treat.
Peter Thanks, Peter...

Hi Floyd,
Professional as ever, this fabulous song paints pictures as I listen.
Entertaining and thought provoking at the same time.
Lots of messages here, all wrapped up in an excellent package.
Faultless mix.
ROG. Always look forward to your reaction to these productions, ROG... Thanks...

Floyd,
A very dramatic song with wonderful production details- particularly the EDM touches.
Loved everything about this!
Robert
Thanks, Robert - appreciate the mention of the EDM stuff... Grabbed my attention from the first word till the last. What a masterful production. Plenty of emotion going on here. Great mix and performance. Thanks for listing Floyd. Rob. Thanks for listening, Rob...

This an incredible tune Floyd. I think this has to be my favorite vocal of yours.
The guitar in the background was very cool. Cool tone. I was listening on the headphones and was trying to isolate the different things you had going on. Your mix blows me away. What was really cool was the kick drum. Very neat how you did that.
Super song Floyd... Thanks, Scott... really appreciate that...

WOW!! Definitely one of your best, my new favorite hands down. Excellent song, superb vocal, but man, the production and mix!! Possibly the best I have heard here on the forum, so many things going on and such attention to detail. You have set the bar very high indeed and give the rest of us mortals something to strive toward Just top notch in every way, thoroughly enjoyed. Dave - thanks for such a nice comment... really appreciate that...

I asked Janice for her thoughts on this production...she got out her phone and wrote this in our shared Apple Notes:
- Killer vocal
- Great dynamics
- Wonderful band and build
- Cool harmonies and effects
- Cinematic imagery
- I want the movie
I decided not to expand on her notes other than “ditto!”

One of the top songs on the forum in quite a while. Everything is stellar from beginning to end. I'm getting a bit of Tyminski feel from the production but that only drives itup to a higher level. As you've spoken elsewhere, "In a just world....."

Hello, floyd
Very impressive intro!
Great song!

Your vocal ia very strong as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Floyd, agree with so many of the comments/compliments already posted. What I liked especially was the vocal dynamics--intimate, proclaiming, echoing at times, doubled, shout-and-call, etc--this aspect in particular for me showed your expert composition/production skills. I wish I had the depth of thinking to do this kind of stuff!! Very inspirational...thanks for showing what advanced skills and experience can do!!

real nice song with great vocals, you do the cowboy style effortlessly.
As was said in previous post, I could see this being the track played when the credits roll by at the end of an old western. Thanks, beatmaster...

Country-EDM-Spaghetti-Western...my favorite genre.
I was trying to figure out if it was notes 1 and 2 that grabbed me; or if you already had me on the first note. I think maybe right at the first note. Either way, you really had me. You VERY effectively set the tone of the song immediately.
What a cool song. Man, I know I say this; but I'm big on atmosphere. Every single element is there to create it. From the lyric, to the performance, to all of the various things you did to support it. So interesting.
I am a big fan of ear candy. I had no idea you opened an ear candy shop. C - thanks for the sweet review.
