FJ, Listened to it when you posted, re- listened it today. What can I say... you have a black belt in writing country/pop songs. Very neat, easy listening arrangement (I have a problem with doing that  ) Fantastic vocal performance! Mix is super clear. Thank you for sharing. Misha. Thanks for all of that, Misha!... Another nice one from the FJ studio. Thanks, Herb.

This never played for me, just could hear a sound like an advert or something slurping a drink then a voice over, Is this just me or ....!!..?. Just you. Floyd, you are one amazing talented musician! EVERYTHING you do is so professional. Your vocals, backing tracks, lyrics, mix, etc are always just what is needed for every song you do. I wish I had half of your talent.
Another winner. That's some nice words, Mario. Thanks... Elegant, Floyd. Masterful. Touching. Appreciate that, Ed...

Hi Floyd,
A classic Rock Ballad!
Loved the whole thing and there was even a guitar solo.
I was thinking that the solo could have been a tad longer, but then we got the reprieve at the end, so all good.
Everything as polished and professional as ever, with your signature emotive vocal delivery.
Mix sounds good on the Sennheisers and even better up LOUD on the Tannoys.
Spot-on.
ROG Thanks, ROG.... Nice slow dance number. Good production. Well written and well sung. Good use of the band. jpt3 - thanks!

Mature writing. What a love song ... one day, I WILL write like that, too. Bravo - this sounds, again, like the song of someone who's been there and feels every note and word. Hats off.

Floyd,
Out of the gate it has an 80’s, Peter Gabriel feel to me (instrumentally at least) . . . but it’s all Floyd Jane after that. What a terrific write! Love that third verse. Great vocal and production as always. Excellent work!
My very best to you,
Deej

I love how this song builds up and then gives the listener a subtle payoff. The work of a great song crafter. Excellent!

Extremely relatable. I'm happy to say. And by the sound of it, happy to hear, as well. Thanks for dropping in, Phil!! Love this one, floyd, pure perfection! Starts with an intriguing intro both instrument and chordwise. Very nice romantic lines with good details of your everything, from a tear to a dance. Strong chorus. Nice emotional vocals. Very good mix, enjoyed the drum sound. The guitar solo could have been longer.
Janne Thanks, Janne...

Pardon me. Might be a bit hard to type. Just moments ago, the corners of my mouth lifted and that must have put some pressure on my tear-ducts.
Continuing. Lyrically so very intimate. Shown, not told.
Musically, the band is so well integrated into the song. This is miles above words plastered over a backing. This is 100% song-writing. Fantastic.
Production is exquisite. Graceful little lifts with the strings and guitar fills. Just enough, just when it works.
Not every song can be better than the last one, or we'd all achieve something near to perfection if we just keep at it. Your next one might suffer for all that went into this one,, but this one is damn near the best I've heard. Let the next one fend for itself. Tangmo - thanks for the great review!!.... Sounds great Floyd. I didn't realize you could use that many tracks out of BIAB.
Do you export the SuperMidi as .Wav or as Midi? Thanks, Frank. You can use any number of BIAB tracks - unlimited - by exporting them to your DAW. For the MIDI SuperTracks, I typically export the MIDI file. Load that into Studio One and select any of the pianos that I have available on my system (I have a bunch of the EZKeys pianos which cover most of my needs. I have a few others, too. TruPianos is a favorite. Got an Addictive Keys piano - free through Focusrite...etc.)

A love story gem of the rarest kind. We love the way you captured those little everyday moments that we have that make us realize (REALLY!) how fortunate we are to be sharing life with our knight in shining armor or fairy princess. I (Janice) was singing along with you, and just like I do when learning a part for one of your songs, I'd find that I had stopped singing because I was enjoying your vocal so much! Yes, as my sister used to say, "that voice" is the one I want to have on the desert island. After Janice's thoughts I (Bud) find getting into the band and mix almost distracts. But the choice of tracks is outstanding (those drums) and the mix sparkles in the best manner of a great singer/songwriter production. I can at least pretend in my dreams that I wrote this for my bride And the album cover is superb. J&B J&B - Thanks for the lovely review! Always appreciated... I thought this was really pretty. Enjoyed it very much.
Josie Thanks, Josie. Nice melody that especially captivating in the chorus.
I loves this verse:
your eyes shine when you're scheming
an easy, innocent read
you dance in the kitchen
i move in for the lead
All so good! Thanks, Scott....

Man, you know how to write them!
I mean, the arrangement is great, and the singing always sells me, but it's the lyric that gets my attention throughout the song. I loved this:
your eyes shine when you're scheming
an easy, innocent read
But this is a great payoff for an interesting choice of words:
you dance in the kitchen
i move in for the lead
I'm curious, did you widen the panning on that drum fill at 2:21?
Anyway, a treat as always to hear how it should be done.

Anyway, a treat as always to hear how it should be done. David - thanks for the nice comments. It is always especially nice when someone highlights a few lines from the lyric. Means a lot to me. I did not widen the drums at all (I often widen pianos and stereo acoustic guitars, but seldom consider doing that with drums). There is a spattering of drum loops mixed in and that is more than likely what you are hearing...
