I just want to point out that you hit a sweet, lilting note in the first verse on both "buzz" and "was."
As I've said before, you have quite the expressive voice that brings forth the emotion of a song.
I really like this--a smooth production!

Hi Floyd,
This could be an anthem for many of us. Really well done. Creative use of BiaB and the production is top-notch. Love your voice.
"For what you don't remember, there's no accounting" made me think of my old band buddy that has an excellent memory of our youthful exploits playing in rock bands (1979-1990). If it wasn't for Darren, I'd not have the accounting that's lost with time.
Bravo...
Marc - thanks for the very nice review.... appreciate it...

Hi Floyd,
Lets start at the beginning - loved the intro.
Very atmospheric and with the promise of things to come.
And, of course lots of good things followed on.
A super-emotive vocal delivery and then that kick drum arrived.
Even with my current hearing problems that cut through loud and strong
and underpinned the track beautifully.
Thoroughly enjoyed several listens, even though you know I really like
your heavy side best!
All the best for 2020.

A GREAT WRITE!!!! I love deep, philosophical songs, and this is a great one!! A lyric that shines from the first word to the last!! This is my favorite, which I would describe as "brilliant", a word I hardly ever use:
trying not to listen to the devil as he dares me
tied in knots 'cause looking forward scares me
It does NOT get better that that!! A great song, a soulful delivery......a masterpiece!!! Take care. Greg

Hi Floyd,
that's another really 'floydish' song: a very thoughtful write at the end of the year, great choice of RealTracks, and like usual terrific vocals. Kudos!
All the bet for 2020 and : Keep 'em coming!
Stefan Thanks, Stefan!! "for what you don't remember there's no accounting for the most part, i know just where i've been the good the bad the in between all mixed in wishin' and whiskey to wash away the sin" Man, if I could write like that I'd have it put on a t-shirt  And what a cool alliteration on the hook line. Just drives it home. The harp was a surprise and sounds like it was played for the tune. Janice said: I love everything about it and his phrasing is perfect!" The arrangement with the build is very supportive of the fine melody. We could go on....and on. Most excellent mr jane. J&B Thanks for that great review from both of you!!! (you are welcome to use that on a t-shirt ) As always I am a big fan of your music. I wish I could write lyrics as good as you do.
I love this song, but if I am honest to my taste of music I would have preferred a sax (or maybe nothing) to the harmonica (well, that is just my taste.. I still really like the song).
Happy New Year!
Will Will - thanks for having a listen. I have used sax in a few song, but for my ear this is more a "harp-kinda song"...

FJ, Amazing tune to finish the year! Lyrically very strong, easy to follow without reading the script. Production is A+ (I would not expect less ) FJ, Thank you for sharing and Happy New Year to you! Misha. Thanks, Misha. Really appreciate that! Great song Floyd, easy going and soft on the ear
Great vocals indeed and the lyrics are awesome
Cool country for this New Years day.
Happy New Year! WGS - Thanks! Glad to have you stop in for a listen.... Late to this train.
Laid back feel, wistfully sung with a nice instrumental build. Great fit with the drums, especially at the end of the chorus. I like the way the harmonica slides in.
Your conversational lyrics feel effortless - "dares me/scares me" is a nice acceleration into the chorus.
As always, excellent work and a pleasant listen. As always.... glad to have you comment on different aspects of this...

Hi floyd, Ahhh... you've done it again! That "outstanding" bar is never a problem for you and like the best of the best Olympic high-jumpers, you ALWAYS manage to clear it with plenty of air. I guess that that Old Norse word called "skill" is what it's all about. Bud mentioned the alliteration in the hook and I agree... those four 'w' sounds on accented beats also caught my ear. That's very clever and very memorable writing! What I really admire about the line "Wishin' and whiskey to wash away the sin" is that from a rhyming perspective, it is fully self-contained. The short 'i' sounds in "wishin" and "whiskey", along with the "-in" at the end of "wishin" all partner the final word "sin" --- I'm definitely going to look for something as streamlined as this in my next song! Thanks for continuing to teach me all these nuances about lyric writing All the best for 2020! Noel Noel - I always enjoy hearing what you have to say about a song - especially the lyric and the "little bits of craft" that make it happen... Thanks for the nice review...
