Seems like you have quickly "gotten comfortable" with the BAND!

Well done.

Hey Floyd,

Thx as always for listening. I am definitely getting a better understanding of how powerful BIAB is. I am enjoying it and appreciate you recommending it to me. It has definitely opened up alot of possibilities. Appreciate your thoughts on this tune. I actually have a version with just vocal and piano which is how I originally envisioned it when I wrote it in 2013, but didn’t have any real piano chops. Very cool to hear it like I initially wanted.

Dave

Florida is well represented on these forums by

really good songwriters!

I love the sparse backing, it's my "go to" very often

good storytelling, it put me in the "Lord save me from this fate"

frame of mind.

Thank you very much for the comments Kenny it is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your comments Greg. I am sorry to hear about the issue your mother is dealing with. I hope things improve. The piano is RT. I tried to edit the initial post with the tracks but I couldn't seem to edit it, so I am going to post here ... This song was done with all RT's in BIAB, aside from my vocal.

It is in the Key of G

Hello, GocartMoz

Really strong vocal!
Your interpretation is so emotional.
I like Pre-chorus part the most.
That part proceeds with the E minor key, and it is very good it resolves with E major only at the end.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi
