Hey Floyd,

I've been gone for awhile, but it's sure nice to come back and find something like this! Everything is outstanding...
Songwriting, instruments, vocals, harmonies, mixing. It's all great.

Happy Birthday to You & Tom.

Greg

I've been working on something I'll be posting soon.

Awesome lead vocals,backing choices and production.

Wonderful song. Great mix. Fabulous lyrics. I love the harmony of voices. BIAB is used well here too. Nice pedal steel too. It floats in and out nicely. Acoustic guitar is good too.

Congrats on a nice production to all involved.

Have time for just one listen and I'm super happy I picked on this one! As I said over on Soundcloud ... when you folks collaborate, you make some of the best music my ears could ever want to hear. The selection of the tracks and real folks is so perfect ... just enough to fill the spectrum but not enough to get in each others' way. Every track was vivid and spot on. Another better than great listen.

Happy birthday to you gentlemen. My brother's birthday was the 3rd ... mine the 22nd. Difference is ... I'm really old! Will be 73. Yikes!!

Wishing All of you the very best. Continued health and much satisfaction with your music.

Alan


Appreciate all of that, Alan...

You work at such a high level that it's easy for us as listeners to expect that. Yet you never falter, it's always something really good, really worth hearing. I'll never understand why you aren't a big name in the country genre, you got all the qualifications. Thanks again for such an enjoyable tune!

The lyric structure is perfect and the vocal sails effortlessly over the lines with all the right emphasis in all the right places.

'i need one sure thing
i need it to be you'

This resolve at the end of the chorus really gives feeling and emotion to that final line. So much so that I wonder if 'I Need It To Be You' shouldn't be the title.

Kudos to all involved.

Martin - I really appreciate that nice review... thanks!!

This is another wonderful song from your hand!
The pedal steel always fits in nicely in this type of songs. The acoustic sounds so bright, I really like those very clear sounds in your songs! I think by now I would recognize your songs wherever I am. You have a very recognizable and cool style!

Cheers,
Hans


Hans - thanks from all of us!!

Dear Mr. Floyd Jane, Mr. Tommy Adams, Ms. Janice & Mr. 'Bud'...

Listen to me, please, because I am exposing my guts, my heart to you, okay??? You ready for this??? Okay. I wish I was a music agent, publisher, producer, whatever, so that I could shove your CD's in the music industry's pick-pick-picky, wishy-washy, "Oh, well, gee, we really do appreciate your submission, but, uh, um, we only accept songs from established artists'" faces, and tell them, "Here's what you been lookin' for. Here's what your audience needs and wants to hear. Now, what in the blazes are you going to do about it, huh???"

Every time I listen to you folks post your well-written, well-produced songs on this User's Forum, every time I listen to your memorable, oft-times unforgettable music, every time I read your thoughtful, revealing, surprising, emotionally affecting lyrics, every time I hear your voices sing out what's in your souls, I feel as though I've experienced a complete lesson in the mechanics and the art of professional songwriting. I feel like I've been exposed to true emotion, to true feelings.

This song, this One True Thing you've presented to us BIAB users, is just one more example of the care, the committment, and the love of making music for people to listen to, that I believe is always, always present in your songs. There is real poetry in your lyrics, real musical invention and involvement, real meaning in the finished product. I would LOVE to quote lyrical lines in the song that impressed me the most, but I can't, because they're all worth absorbing and thinking about, slowly, and with deliberation.

I'm done.

LOREN (a.k.a. 'bluage')

P.S. Forgot to wish Floyd and Tommy, "Happy Birthday, fellers smile !!!

Hats off, Janice, Tom, Floyd ... everyone involved with this. A classic. The emotional being that I am, I don't mind saying I've blamed a few onions for my emotional reaction on listening to this one, a couple of times :-) All that remains to say is that I wish myself luck, now, on trying to write anything at all ... what does one write after something like this? This, as far as I'm concerned at least, says it all for me - it both closes a door for me (in the sense that I realise what standard I have to at least try to meet if I am to write something new) and it opens a door (because it inspires me immensely, even if I don't yet put a word or note down). I know it may sound like gushing praise or whatever, but I mean every word. Congratulations.


James - it is always satisfying when someone finds a song meaningful enough to revisit it and to find it "inspiring" in some way...especially if that way is to propel you to continue writing yourself. Keep writing!!

Happy belated birthday and keep up excellent tradition!

Misha.




Thanks, Misha. Mixing Janice any louder made it sound more like a "duet harmony" - which I did not want for this one since it shifts the focus of the lyric when you do that. She will be louder on the next one because it is the sound I wanted for that one...

I love the build, both musically as you add instruments, and lyrically as the song slowly zooms in from general indecision to the relationship.

Thanks for the birthday present! Sorry I was late to the party! smile
