As usual really good song. Love the lyrics and all the references to raining, crying, grief, numbing the pain, no clearing in sight. Very nice. thanks for having a listen, Donna... Another super song Floyd. Loved the tremelo on the guitar very nice touch. Excellent vocal and lyric. Pure quality Floyd.. Thanks, Scott!!

Killer arrangement!
the song builds beautifully
I love all the instrument choices
the drums are punchy, the toms roll thru my headphones
super sound
awesome write, seems to me there's a positive lilt in your voice even when
singing a very sad song, an fj signature thing
I don't think it gets much better,
Kenny Kenny - thanks for that really nice review...

"Just your typical Country song..." by one of the most proficient producers of a "Just your typical Country song..." writer to be found anywhere. I'm off to cry in my beer as I take another listen on this old bar's jukebox.... Great work Floyd.

Hi Floyd, Once again you nailed it. It is a really good song - the lyrics and the composition are working so well together and everything is sitting perfect in the mix (as we have come to expect from you). I read the lyrics before I listened and when listening to the song afterwards, the music and your vocal just felt as a perfect fit to the lyrics. Great work on this! I hope you put it on Spotify - I know quite a few people at my work who would love to have this kind of song on their playlist. Oh, and I love whiskey - so please let it rain tonight!  Thank you for sharing! Will And thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one, Will... appreciate that... Hey Floyd, I really love this song and the band. Really nice work. Gorgeous sounds, mix, choice of instruments and vocals. Great lyrics. Classic hook, of course. You always do that.  Thanks for that, David....

Another spectacular write!!! Love the groove.....draws you in (the spagetti western guitar is a perfect fit). It's got heart, it's got wit, colorful metaphors, and oodles of fantastic lines! Some of my faves are:
no umbrella, no hat, just tip my head back and pray there's no clearing in sight
and
i could open wide while the heavens cried
Simply does not get any better than that!!
Needless to say, production and mix are top drawer! (but I'll say it anyway)
Great, great stuff Floyd!!!
Take care. Greg

Floyd, I ain't much for whiskey, my ears enjoyed drinking this song. Cleverly constructed lyrics. I like how you opened each musical phrase in the chorus with the high notes and then went down with the melody.
Scott Thanks, Herb... Dear Floyd,
I'm no expert in this genre, but this sounds like an outstangly great song to me. Loved the lyrics, great hook, fantastic arrangement. And, of course, as always well-sung.
Just brilliant!
Cheers,
Stefan I certainly appreciate that. Stefan...

Wonderful composition.

Another great write, supported by a fine vocal. That tremolo guitar is a standout and is so present it sounds like it’s right here in the room. You certainly seem to have a large seed bank of song ideas! Your manipulation of the real tracks is nothing short of remarkable. The attention to detail not only in the write but also in the arrangement and production is a hallmark in all your songs. I expect we are in for a lot more of these musical gems in 2019. Outstanding job, Tom

I could open wide while the heavens cried! Dang! Why ain't you famous? Your lyrics always blow me away! As a former professional drunk I approve this song!

Excellent stuff. Made me thirsty.  Regards, Bob Bob - Thanks for stopping by for a listen! Perfectly produced radio friendly song, the lyrical hook and the baritone guitar are its highlights.
Janne Thanks, Janne... Sounds more country than what is called country these days... and that's a good thing. Great job. Thanks. There is still good Country out there scattered about...

floyd
Excellent imagery, great sound, great band, great vocal. Great song.
Peter Peter - thanks for all those superlatives!  HTL beat us to the rhyme structure comments but from the get go we noticed how creative they were. Not one whit forced and very effective.
And then there’s the three verse / chorus structure that states it all in both a concise and powerful manner.
And then there’s the signature floyd vocal that is always strong and emotive - irrespective of the genre.
And then there’s the band...man, did that guitar nail it. A highlight within a great mix.
And then there’s J&B saying again, “ain’t he good! And now let’s have good small batch shot”
J&B
Cheers! to you both!! Thanks for the great review...

What a tune! Love the sincerity in both your vocals and instruments here. Really hits the soul. Nicely catchy on the hook to - it manages to be an earworm while still tugging at the heart string. I personally loved it! Nothing I'd change here - thanks for sharing 
Cheers, Deryk

Great song Floyd, especially love the spaghetti guitars in this one, the perfect touch to a wonderful song!!!!! CLiff Thanks, Cliff.... I really like the feel and musical color you've delivered throughout this fabulous delivery, Floyd.
Another masterfully created set of lyrics, taking the listener into the story just so well. Trev - Thanks for stopping by and for the fine review... Hi, Floyd !:))
When do you come over to my place to stand in the rain of whiskey ?
I love it ( in fact I like cognac or brandy somewhat more than whiskey ) !!!
But I can provide whiskey whenever you wont it!
Your tune just did this to us ! there you see, so get yourself aboard a plane for Helsinki !!
Cheers Dani Thanks, Dani!!! Floyd, you just kill me man! Your creativity is off the charts! This has a beautiful sound! Your vocal is just full of a vibe that just pulls the listener in and makes them just sit and absorb it all! That vibrato guitar part really makes this one pop! Great work again! Thanks, Torrey A reaction like that from you, Torrey, is icing on the cake! Thanks!!

I was on board as soon as I heard the baritone guitar. Great song. Excellent.  Thanks! What a great lyric for a drink my heart better song. I love the arrangement and vocal FJ. I think this is one of my new favs of yours. Josie - Thanks for stopping by. We should see you more often!... Man, this is well done! Love the mix. Everything is in its right place. Good full sound, very tastefully done! Your vocals are spot on and expressive as ever. Good write, some really good lines in this one.
I've been out for a few weeks, and have really missed a lot. I'm sure glad I was able to get back to hear this one! (Good news, for me anyway. Tomorrow is my last day on this job, and my schedule should be much better, so I should be around a lot more.)
Really loved this one!
Steve
Thanks, Steve. Always glad to hear your thoughts on a song and its presentation... Floyd,
Great stuff, marked by your usual excellent vocal and production! Really cool listen—good luck with this one!
Hope all is well in your world,
Deej Appreciate that, Deej... good to see you around again...

floyd,
Beautiful modern country ballad! I completely agree with Rob. What a great title and hook. You always have this talent for putting a new and original slant onto a heartbreak story. And I also completely agree with HearToLearn. The rhymes you build is wonderful. And super vocal as usual. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi
