Always enjoy your work, but this has to be one of your best. Track, lyrics, vocals, mix - just magic. Nice of you to say, Brian. Thanks. Very impressed with that acoustic guitar vst! Sounds real to me. I'm going to check that out shortly.
Vocal sounds great, harmonies too, especially the chorus section.
Another good song, floyd, I'm a fan. Thanks, Dave. The acoustic vst is fun to play with...

This is a beautiful song!
i like your phrasing throughout ...
for example in the chorus, where you tie "things that only lovers do
moments that only"... very nice!
this song is understated loveliness.
well done!

Well, it's finally happened. My favorite Floyd Jane song.
It certainly wasn't this alone, but the harmonies on "do" are excruciatingly beautiful. I'll have a hard time explaining this one to the one I love, but it'll be fun. Trust me.

Beautiful melody!!! Loved every second of this song! And you're mix captured the beauty perfectly.
Very few things inspire me to write like a good riff and this is an excellent one.
Outstanding!
And the intro and outro sound effect are a creative addition.

Man, I admittedly haven't been here in a while. I pop in and use the jukebox; but haven't really "been here."
I thought I would listen to a few throughout the day and happen to see you posted this not long ago! VERY cool! ALWAYS good to see you pop back in! Hope all is well in the far North...
THEN
I gave it a listen. Man, this song is beautiful in every sense. A lot of what I would say I've said about your other songs. Your attention and application are both at those same high levels, however you manage to have variation at the same time which keeps everything new!
...never get tired of hearing that 
If you haven't sung in your higher register much, you've been squandering a real gift. I absolutely loved it. I'm not just comparing it to your other songs either. If I never heard you sing before, it still sounds fantastic!
That surprises me, actually, but also nice to hear...
I simply can't write a short reply to your works ever. I am holding back SO much!
I'll just sum it up as this a truly great song in EVERY aspect.
(still wanting to say more...lol)
-C
Wax on, my friend! Always a pleasure to read your thoughts on song and production...

Hi FloyD Wow great vocals on this tune really great job on all of it you really got control of biab you make it work for you so well loved it !!! thanks Eric Thanks for listening, eric.... I heard this cool guitar riff and wondered if I could reproduce it.
I used the Ample Martin vst (free).
Once I had it, I thought I might as well write a song with it... Ha! Sort of like saying "I bought some tires, and I figured I may as well build a car to go with them."I normally don't like to look at lyrics first, but for reasons uninteresting to this narrative, I read them first this time. Man, you know how to write solid lyrics.  Clearly sung, with vocals front and center. Yes, even in front of the guitar riff.  Jumps right into harmony. It sounded like Helicon, but it had me wondering, because yep - you did at least one of those tracks yourself. I expected drums on the second verse, but real sparse use of the kick, and the drops out at the start of the final chorus. Making more with less. The hihat gets, what.. four taps? And there's some reverse sound coming in at 3:00? So - nice attention to details, subtle arrangement to keep everything clear, excellent fj vocal... what a treat. David - Thanks for the great review!!

The guitar VSTi was programed perfectly, your vocal was outstanding as usual, the harmonies were great, the lyrics fantastic, and the mix was super. This may be your best to date.
Another winner in my book!
Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.
Me-I'm not John
Doc-I know, I am!

floyd,
Acoustic guitar riffs by Ample Guitar M Lite II are really cool.
Harmonies by Helicon harmony generator are also great.
You are always doing various experiments with your music production.
I'm always impressed with them.
Your vocals are wonderful as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi
Shigeki Adachi - thanks for a nice comments. Always appreciated... floyd
Lovely work. The acoustic is very pretty, and well "programmed".
The harmonies are excellent.
Top notch vocals throughout, beautiful set of lyrics and a wonderful melody.
Another in a long line of top notch songs.
Peter Thanks, Peter. I have enjoyed working with the acoustic vst - and think about doing more with it (there is a lot to learn - even with the limited free version). That type thing is showing up more and more in contemporary Country... Gary - why did you remove your comments?? (I think you might have done that on my last one, too????). I am more than happy to entertain discussions outside the usual pats-on-the-back type thing... in case you are thinking not...

Floyd,
Love that acoustic guitar melody—really catchy and engaging; grabs you right from the start and keeps you until the last. Just the right percussion choices along the way—subtle but adding so much to the song. Among your best vocals. Just a real pretty song, too! First rate all the way!
My very best to you,
Deej

Hi Floyd
Very nice indeed. The lyrics are excellent, you sing them beautifully (your upper register sounds real good to me) and the guitar sounds great. Another top quality song.
Regards,
Leon

Regarding the lyric you are preaching to the J&B choir We are very happy to have a relationship that lets us relate to this song on a personal level. Thanks! Outstanding write. Janice said if she was attempting a harmony she would be so mesmerized she would forget to sing. That says it all re your outstanding performance. We know zero about all of the technology and talent and time regarding the acoustic guitar but us rubes thought it sounded good. The arrangement, band, and mix really focus well on supporting the vocals which are the star of this production. Excellent! J&B
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.

Floyd, This is so awesome, I decided to rip off the riff and try it on my Yahama. Sounds nice. Man, I got something coming up. Thanks!!! * Seriously, this is great. But it DID make me run straight for my guitar, which is a good thing, and it DID give me an idea immediately.

Hi Floyd,
A song to to stay silent with. Beautiful!
Only a guitar and these vocals.
I enjoyed the harmonies in the vocals very much.
I read almost everyone wrote this too, so I think you have to believe them all.
Or at least me.
I'm impressed, but I won't say one of your best. That has still to come!
Hans Thanks, Hans...as always... I loved this song Floyd. Super vocal. Very cool lyric. Intro was was excellent. I would have never thought that acoustic was a vst. Was perfect for the song. Well done I appreciate that, Scott..

Hi Floyd ...
Hypnotic in the best of ways. Wonderful, delicious vocals!!! The simplicity of the backing tracks gently supports the excellent vocal. And talk about a romantic lyric! This is romantic in the sweetest way. You can make the simplest ideas and thoughts sound so rich and full.
If for some mysterious reason I had to listen to but one song all day ... this would be my choice.
Best to you & yours. Take care ...
Alan A very nice thing to say Alan... thanks!!

"Once I had it, I thought I might as well write a song with it..." Haha. Might as well. No one can do it better, Floyd. You're the kind of songwriter that can pick up a handful of dust and make humans... smile and sing, and be glad to be alive. Glad I found your music! Another brilliant performance.
