Beautiful!
Man, this has to be your best vocal yet! The "please" in "please believe" .... goosebumps!
And the blend of your voice with Janice ... double goosebumps!
Great work on the arrangement too, very effective the way it builds. I love hearing stuff like that!
Excellent! Thanks, Dave. I always look forward to your reaction. That bit of falsetto seems to be a "fan favorite"...

Such a beautiful touching love song. I'm a huge fan of Janice's singing and wonderful harmony but I could've done without any harmony at all on this song. I thought the lead vocal was powerful enough to drive this intimate song on it's own. Just my opinion of course, Terrific however you slice it FJ.

Floyd and Janice,
Wow, do you guys every deliver!
This song is really meaningful, has feel and emotion and is absolutely beautifully presented.
Sensational, no question.

Very touching lyrics, so much meaning in few simple words. I really like the vibrato in your voice and the "please believe i love you" is amazing vocal highlight, Janice's voice gives nice support. And the arrangement is well-structured, instruments are nicely introduced.

Floyd IMHO this is your best to date. Your vocals were fantastic; I didn't know you had that much vocal range! Of course as usual your backing tracks and mix were perfect. Plus Janice and you make perfect harmonies together.
This is outstanding!
Thank you Mario. It was a pleasure to sing harmony on this! J&B

A simply beautiful love song,Floyd. The lyrics communicate without needing embellishment...
can't say there's more than just what you see no secret door no fancy poetry the moon and stars don't line up behind a man like me
there`s some skillful poetry in that! Love that vulnerable hint of falsetto on your "please",( I agree with Dave, this is right up there with your best vocal performances), the panned guitars, and naturally, Janice joining in, are also standouts.
Robert
Robert - thanks for such a nice review. I really appreciate having those lines "quoted"...

That's nice of you to say, Mario. Thanks! Life's busyness means I rarely get chance to visit this forum. But, so glad that on my one visit I clicked on this track.
A beautiful song with an excellent 3rd verse lyric.
The build up is so well done...and the moment the cello joins is sublime.
Your mixes always sound great to me. I'm envious of your ability to shape BIAB tracks just the way you want.
In the past I've looked at some of your posts about mixing hints and I wish you'd compile all your stuff into one post/video/handbook! Phil - It is nice to see you drop in! Glad you liked this. And it is nice to know that someone gets something out of the bits that I have posted about mixing. I wish it were easier to show that process, but I'm not really set up for it... those YouTube guys always make it look so easy....

Lovely song, performance & arrangement. The 1st time through NEED from need to know is a little aggressive and made me jump. At 2.43 there's comp keyboard style click, though it may be string or pick noise, that you may be able to erase. It's no big deal but the song is intimate and quiet at that point so it sticks out. Lovely, lovely song & Ms. Merritt merits particular praise for her gorgeously warm bvox. Ray - I agree that "need" is rather aggressive and could have been tamed a bit. I hadn't heard (or paid attention to) the squeak. It is an acoustic guitar string squeak - which I generally don't mind if they are not very prominent. Often trying to remove them causes more harm than good... Thanks for nice review...

Hi floyd,
Wow!!! You and Janice deliver goosebumps material with this one *shiver*.
Your vocals are incredibly powerful to listen to... they are filled with honesty and sincerity and intimacy all rolled up together. The direct address point of view is a really powerful choice. If I was sitting beside someone special while I listened to the two of you singing this, these lyrics would have felt like they were written especially for that moment.
floyd, when you compose and produce songs like this, all I can think of saying is "What a wonderful gift you have!"
Janice and floyd.... your songs should be on the international market! They are THAT good.
All the best to you both, Noel

Bird Leather, Chills, Goose Bumps! Could it be that you keep getting better vocally melodically and lyrically? Your very bestest vocal ever! That girl sang a beautiful harmony. The arrangement is so good. The acoustics were well played and recorded. The production is out of this world. This may be your best overall effort. I am truly stunned to the depth of my emotions. It simply can't get any better than this, Tom Tom - you really floored me with these comments. Coming from you that means a lot. (And Thanks! for mentioning the acoustics...)

Floyd ...
It's simply not easy to create a song that sounds this simple ... it's a really, really tough challenge. But, as always, you ended up with the arrangement and perfect presentation. Your vocal range is extraordinary as you lose no depth and quality in the upper register and your lower register is full and powerful. The cello was so nice and the acoustic background was just enough without being too much.
And Janice is such a wonderful vocalist in her on right. When her harmonies come in ... is like velvet.
WOW!
Alan
