Loved this tune Floyd. Has a different feel to it from your last couple tunes. Very cool beat to the song. As always super vocal, lyric and production. And my favorite your guitar is so good. Well done..

Hey Floyd,
Did you change your name to Gary? Sweet!
Anyway, I agree this song has a really catchy, extremely hooky hold-school vibe to it.
And I mean that in a really good way.
Really enjoyed it!!
 I change my name on a regular basis....

Catchy tune guys!
Very well done.
I do detect an organ throughout the song, but I don't see it listed anywhere?
Or maybe it's a resonance of a combination of instruments.

Gary..
Nice guitar sounds and Groove ,Vocals are good and strong, though I agree with the weird sound ?, I also hear it, bit more time on this one I think.
Another listen on my beyer cans, it is just a bit of a delay on the backing vocals, sounds great on the phones. Minted now, was it just an upload thing ?. beatmaster - thanks for weighing on on this one...

Floyd, loved the swimming/water analogy! Great idea to express the lyric feeling.
Really like the calypso 'ping' sounds in the background, right from the start.
Very tight song all the way around, outstanding lyric, wonderful energy, excellent production!
As usual, a real inspiration to me to work harder, refine more, reach for higher quality.
Thanks Floyd!!

Hey... this is a fun song. Has a pop country sound to it.
David Snyder..... were you referencing Gary Morris? Yep... I think I told FJ that years ago.... uncanny huh?
Yep...all in all a cool tune. Nice work.
Thanks for the listen, Herb. Gary Morris was one of the finest voices to ever hit Country radio...

Good song! I listened twice, first through the monitors and then through the phones. When I listen through the phones every so often I'm hearing something odd on the harmony vocal panned left, "to catch my breath", is an example, as if it might be slightly out of sync? Or maybe just the fx you have on it? Maybe it's just my old ears  But, enjoyed the song and the performance very much. Dave - I think I found the issue (an effect doing weird stuff). I've uploaded a new version (deleted the old one - only way I could figure to replace it). Let me know if you are still hearing something not right. Thanks for the listen! Perfection! Thanks for the re-listen, Dave... Floyd,
Tight, upbeat... and highly marketable (in another simpler Top Of The Pops world!).
The vocals and harmonies sound just right to me.
Robert Thanks, Robert. Janice did a great job on those harmonies - they really helped elevate this...

I nice 60's vintage sounding pop song.
Floyd how do you come up with such winners, both in chords, lyrics and mixes, time after time after time?
This is another of my FJ favorites. Thanks, Mario!

Floyd, what a catchy tune! Great work getting such a wonderful sound out of all the realtracks used! I thought I recognized one of the Studio One loops you used here. Those loops in that program are pure gold if you can find the right one buried in there with all the others! Janice's background vocals are so nice, just sitting perfectly in the mix! You just keep knocking out great tunes and this forum community is in awe of your work! Thanks, Torrey

Very catchy pop rock song, nice arrangement with pleasant loop sounds and great vocals, especially the Janettes, the guitar solo is perfect fit.

Hello, floyd
Very good rock song!
I agree with Robert.
Tight, upbeat... and highly marketable (in another simpler Top Of The Pops world!).
The combination of drums and bass is very powerful.
And the combination of your vocals and Janice's harmonies is much more powerful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Janice said she enjoyed singing along with it as much as she did when she recorded her part.
You covered a lot of bases with this one...catchy wonderful melody, older sounds, newer sounds, the fj high bar production stamp and, of course, an engagingly nailed lead vocal.
Given the high fj output it remains remarkable that you NEVER release any filler. Amazing.
J&B
Y'all always add the icing! Janice's harmonies on this are exquisite!! Thanks!!! What a fun feel good song! Fun to sing along with too. Love the oldie vibe that runs through it and those claps. Add my compliments to your co-writer and the Janettes too. Great job y'all. Thanks, Josie... appreciate that you stopped by...

Rob Thanks, Rob. There is no organ - I think that may be some of the guitar loops from Studio One - they are "bell-like" and heavily processed.

Deryk, Robert, Peter, Janne, Josie, Kenny, Charlie, Torrey and Shigeki,
