Hi floyd,
In my headphones right now, it sounds like this song is coming directly from a radio station. You've managed to produce an outstanding and compelling sound. It's polished, it's classy, it's warm and it sits so very comfortably on my ears. Not only are you an excellent songwriter, first class arranger and top notch singer but you've also become a very highly skilled audio engineer.
Your attention to musical sweetening is something that I truly admire. The way that you keep the listener's attention focused throughout with tasteful instrumental surprises is a wonderful arranging skill.
I really, really enjoyed this!
All the best,
Noel

For a "quickly-thrown-together-sorta-love-song", this one sounds very well-crafted...
Nicely written lyrics going straight to the hook "I'd do it all again exactly how we did it".. . Great line!
I always look forward to hearing your creations. Jim - thanks for having a listen! So much truth in the lyrics, looking back. I'm sure so many people can relate good appeal to emotions. You've captured that old country feel. Nice!! Thanks, Donna... Wow - if you didn't say so, I wouldn't have thought this was quickly thrown together at all. Very well mixed, and extremely well executed. The vocals are catchy, and the entire tune flows gorgeously. A wonderful song for this time of year! Thanks for sharing  Deryk - I appreciate you dropping in for a spin...

Hi Floyd,
once again a fine, a very fine song of yours. The chorus is simply terrific and you're doing another amazing vocal job on this one. Great guitar, too. Definitely top-notch on all levels.
All the best,
Stefan Thanks, Stefan! Another great one. I love your lyrics and your easy-going style. Thanks, Phil... FJ, nice romantic tune. Did not feel anything "quick-thrown" in it. Nothing sticking out, mix is near perfect., which means you got good at what you do Thanks for posting! Misha. Thanks for dropping in, Misha!....

Floyd ...
Commenting on your songs is almost too easy - find the nicest complimentary words and organize then coherently - and there you are. You are a world class creator, performer and technician. Don't know what else to say ... this comes in ahead of whatever's in 2nd place.
Best to you & yours ...

Now that’s the way to score points with the wife. Wonderful arrangement, lyrics, and melody. Nice editing on the guitar tracks. Once again very well sung with conviction. Professional production and writing, Tom Thanks, Tom. Always look forward to hearing your thoughts on these... Floyd,
Sweet tune! Really cool listen—slick from first note to the last.
Best regards,
Deej Deej - good to have you drop by... thanks... Great job with the lyrics, as usual. As McCartney observed, people can't seem to get enough of "silly love songs" - and why should we, when you both do such a nice job?  The rhythm of the instruments and vocals had a cool, laid-back groove that fit the emotional feel of the song. I loved, loved, loved the build on the song. Everything fit together wonderfully, and flowed from one part to the next. Top-notch singing as well. Thanks, David. Now I've got "Silly Love Songs" stuck in my head (in a few days, that will change to "When I'm 64")

Strong lyrics full of love and sincerity. Catchy chorus. Great production, I like the break before the chorus and the calming down after the chorus. Nice solo and perfect ending.

Loved this song. Another very cool visual journey. Loved the lyrics. Another awesome vocal and backtrack. Guitar was sweet. Thanks for sharing Floyd.. Thanks for the nice review, Scott...
Floyd,
This is a really beautiful song and tugged at all the hearts strings. Just a wonderful job, excellent vocals, and superb craftsmanship throughout.
Sorry to be so late, been some crazy travel past few weeks.
Love this song man!
Thanks, David! Don't be a stranger. (but stay strange, of course). Sounds like you spent weeks on it Floyd! Exceptionally great harmonies in here and very well handled breaks and transitions in the song! Also great work with the pushes and instrument selection such as the strings in the background and those distorted single notes in the chorus on guitar really give it a very full sound! Great tune Floyd! Thanks, Torrey I appreciate that, Torrey...

Happened to quickly drop by the forum. Saw a new FJ tune (one of my favorite songwriters.....ever....anywhere) and had to stop for a listen and..........WOWOWOWOWOWOW do I love this!!!!! All experienced songwriters know how hard it is to write an emotionally upbeat song that doesn't sound trite or sappy. Well, THIS is how you do it!! FANTASTIC musically and lyrically, and the instrumental groove is PERFECT! The lyrics are sweet, but deep...the kind that bring a little tear to your eye when you hear a Diane Warren song at the end of a touching movie. With you Floyd, it is always hard to say your absolute best song, but it is for sure in my fave 5 or yours, and, at the moment, my favorite. BEAUTIFUL!!!! Take a bow!!! Take care. Greg How could I not be pleased with a review like that! Thanks, Greg, for all of that!... Floyd,
I always look forward to your songs. This is a another great example of your artistry. Thanks for sharing.
SD SD - thanks for stopping by... hi Floyd very professional production here mix is incredible that's for sharing eric Thanks, Eric!... Dang, I've spent all morning trying to throw together a song...how long does this throw together thing take? Valentines Day makes it even more special but it stands by itself as a great love song. It says it all w/o a hint of sappiness. That's a sweet spot -- literally and figuratively. The pre-chorus' do everything that I've learned a pre-chorus should do...caused me to study the whole concept. A wonderful floyd vocal, band, and mix ices the Valentine cake...oops Wonderful! J&B Pre-chorus? What's a pre-chorus??? HA! The sweet spot - HA! again... now, there might be just a little sappiness...

Great song Floyd. It's got it all, from go to whoa.
Cheers,
Mike Mike - Thanks for having a listen... Nice work. I've been working pretty hard the last week or so....and haven't had the chance to get in and listen like I'd like to..... but... hey, I can now afford to keep my lights turned on for another month... this is a good song. Well done on all aspects.
Gotta love those "thrown together" things that turn out nicely, and this is one of those times. Thanks, Herb. Hi floyd,

floyd,
Really nice song and arrangement.
The pedal point of the dominant note (sustained sound of E) is very effective.
I am also a big fan of pedal point.
Your vocal is wonderful as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Hi floyd,
I was just drifting around Soundcloud and letting autoplay take me where it wants when "I'd Do It All Again" started playing. I just wanted to let you know (again) that this really is a super song. It's radio-ready, radio friendly and a terrific listen.
With this sort of ability, you should be famous!
All the best,
Noel
