Wow!
This has to be my new favorite song from you, man those vocals! And then when Janice comes in ..... goosebumps!
Possibly the best country song ever posted on this forum, pure perfection from the write, the performance, and the production.
One to be proud of, well done you two!! Well...thanks so much for that, Dave! I'd have to say we ARE proud...

Such a sad emotional song. Lyrics were so well done. Loved the vocals. Both added so much lament to the song. As Peter said "Classy". Loved the way the song . Vocals were so clear. Well done.... Thanks. Scott. We appreciate that...

Hi Floyd and Janice,
I cannot surpass others with words of admiration, so I won't even try.
You together had a beautiful performance in this nice, sweet song. I almost had to find me a handkerchief, but a man does not cry...
This cooperation of yours is gold.
But, did you say you sang together for about 6 years? That is also Gold!
Nice weekend,
Hans

I could well imagine both of you sharing the same vocal booth...looking into each other's eyes with a mixture of regret and hope. Bud's at the control booth, being all professional and stuff. You're singing the hopes of millions, whether their situation has been a lapse or long-term. Your voices blend and "fit" so well, one to the other.
And I come in to take out the garbage, listen a while and say, "Yep."
Hard to imagine a better song. Way to turn that title phrase into a love song. Tangmo - thanks for that really nice review... we appreciate it...

This was a lovely well written and produced song.
Floyd showing his soft side here, Janice doing her magic on the backing and lead singing.
This was excellent all round and inspires me to get in the wee studio and get some stuff done.
great vocals from both of you and again a brilliant ballad.
Not forgetting Bud ..well done .
Thanks beatmaster - thanks, we appreciate that... good to see you back around...

Wow - stunning, simply stunning. You two paired beautifully on this. It sounds solemn, delicate, sincere, and lush. The mix is top notch and just adds it to an even higher level. You should be proud of this one. You really accomplished something beautiful. Thanks for sharing Thanks for stopping in for a listen, Deryk...

floyd and Janice,
This is stunning music.
Everything about this -- vocals, arrangement, instruments, melody, harmony, production -- is top class and first rate and then some!
I absolutely love the journey that I've just travelled. What stood out to me most was the clarity of sound that came through my speakers and my headphones. You've sure showed us all how to make 128 kbps mp3s on Soundcloud work a treat.
This is really, really beautiful music and very skilled lyric writing.
All the best,
Noel Noel - thanks for chiming in! Interesting note on the Soundcloud 128 kbps.... I've come to expect a slight down-grade upon upload, so I seldom even pay attention to it anymore... I've always thought you had to be listening on better-than-average speakers to notice any real difference - AND need a better recording to even make a comparison. So it seldom registers that there is any ral difference... Classic beautiful country music! A great tune performed flawlessly by two pro's!! That chorus is truly great! Perfect instrumentation presented here! Thanks, Torrey Thanks, Torrey!! I'm late and everything that I wanted to say has already been said.
So all I can add is that this is better than anything that is being played on country music stations up here!
Great vocals, lyrics, backing tracks,and mix again. I don't know how you do it but please keep on doing it!
This is top shelf all the way! Mario - thanks for the nice review!!

From the opening, it sounds excellent. The lyrics proclaim it's classic country, the vocal pairing is excellent - of course. Janice is superb as always, and I love the cry in your voice. Great writing, arrangement and chorus. Piano is especially good. Love it.  Plus one! This is the best duet I`ve heard on the forum. Move over Garth & Trisha, Floyd & Janice will take it from here! Robert Wow!
This has to be my new favorite song from you, man those vocals! And then when Janice comes in ..... goosebumps!

Not sure what to say ... everything I'm thinking has already been said. Music like this is the foundation of country music. And what a solid foundation this is. I grew up listening to and playing this kind of music. But so little of it was this magical. Known superlatives fall short of adequately describing this.
Floyd, your voice has tinges of Con Hunley who, sadly, we lost a few months back. And Janice is the epitome of classy singing. If this isn't the best example of what country music should be, I don't know what is. Might be the best song on the forum since I've been a member - seriously.
Alan Wow, Alan... what a truly humbling review. Such nice things to hear... Really appreciate that. Man! having heard a Con Hunly song in a VERY long time...think I'll head over to YouTube and dig some up!... Short description: beautiful country ballad Nice lyrics and impeccable chording, especially in the chorus. Perfect mix and the best possible singers for this kind of music on this forum. Janne Thanks, Janne! We really appreciate that....

WOW! What a song!
This is so good, Floyd (as if anything I've heard from you wasn't good). Very well written. Love the message. The band is really spot on. And you and Janice make a perfect duo on this one. (Nice job on producing Janice's vocals by Bud.)
I don't know how I missed this before now. I always look specifically for your work, as I know I will like it. I'm sure glad I heard it today!

Floyd and Janice,
This is marvelous. Reminds me of classic country on the level of Johnny Cash and June Carter, grand old Opry style.
I would have said they don't make 'em like this anymore, but you just did!
I agree with all the accolades, and Kenny really nailed it. This is one of the best country duets in a long time!
I will try and get caught up on the forum. Sorry peeps, been a really distracting/distracted time.

Floyd ... Here's a link to a Con Hunley song where I hear some similarities in Con Hunley's voice and yours. Certainly not "nearly the same", but the vocal nuances, intonation and, to a lesser degree, the vocal grit. His voice is a bit softer than yours, but I still hear the other similarities. I've always thought he had such a great voice. I'd put you in that same category with him. Alan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ozXS5QpHkQ

It's a thrill (for me) to be favorably compared to Con Hunley in such a way. He is an INCREDIBLE singer. Under-rated in the overall scheme of Country music, I think... And thanks for the link. It made me spend a while listen to a bunch of his songs that I hadn't heard in years... (the 80's were a real transition period for Country - with a lot of "haters" similar to what is happening now).
