Hi Floyd,
A little old-school classic - very Eagles, but still Floyd all the way through.
Nice bright mix with jangly guitars and splashy cymbals.
Loved the drop-out at around 3.12. Just ten seconds to the pick-up, but SO effective.
Always professional, always with that signature vocal and sounding good on the monitors and the headphones.
Nice solo too...
ROG.

Here, the message of the song struck home, for some reason. Otherwise: what can I say that hasn't been said already? TOP voice, TOP writing skills, TOP production, TOP harmonies. You KEEP, each time, knocking it out of the park. Carry on, please :-) ... one day, I, too, will have that much wisdom in my voice :-)

Another outstanding classice!
Your vocal and lyrics are fantastic. You are a great songwriter, lyricist, and producer all in one package.
Loved it.

Yes, this does sound, in terms of backing, like FJ backed by the Eagles or Poco.
Lovely vocals, lovely song.
Danny did well.
Excellent..took me back to the mid 70s when I had no love for such sounds but I've mellowed since then.
Cheers

First a superb mix. Excellent, and a very singalong with chorus.
The sort of thing the audience would join in with.
Great work on the vocals and backing vocals.
Nice use of the guitar RT's.
A totally professional and engaging package.

Floyd,
I love it! Takes me back to the 70's and I know a lot of people will think Eagles but I instantly started thing of the group Toby Beau from that era. It truly has a sweet country rock sound!
Everything fits like it should! The guitar parts chosen are perfect! Vocals and writing are pure Floyd excellence!
Enjoyed greatly! Thanks, Torrey

As always, great write, beautifully crafted performance.

Hi Floyd,
Sounds like a classic country song to me. You've managed to meld Glenn Frey and Mickey Gilley into this. Your usual polished mix with great vocals. Nice and easy listen!

Hi Floyd,
This is an outstanding song.
I particularly enjoyed your vocals and also the harmonies - do you do these yourself?
I recognize the harmony notes from some of your other songs.
Lead break is tasty and I also like the way you drop some of the backing instruments at 3:12.
Best Regards

The drums and bass really lay down a cool groove to the tune. Very cool vocal and lyric. Pedal steel was a nice add. Loved the guitars

Floyd, Great. Nothing wrong with old school man! It is the best. You do it well!!  I do have an idea for ya for the intro though: "If I say you have a heavenly body would you hold it against me..." Just a thought that one is on the house man.

FJ,
nice swing on this tune. Ace lyrics and main vocals. Strong composition and arrangement, cool solo.
P.S. I do think harmony/BGV vocal have a sort of "metallic" presence. Maybe it is my headphones/soundcard. I did reset soundcard, and changed the buffer, so internals are refreshed, made no difference, still hear that tone on BGVs. Maybe something happened to my headphones (or my ears :)). Don't hold me on it.
Thank you for sharing,
Misha.

Well constructed song. Although there were quite a few components, nothing seemed superfluous and everything meshed beautifully.
On the fourth line of your chorus you have the word "bound" (which is variously a verb or adjective).
I think you might have meant to use the noun "bond" (which is more like how it sounds in the song).
Great job, Floyd. Looking forward to your next.
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

All of your old songs are forever in my favorite playlist, so I'm always so thrilled to see a new one to add. Dang, and always so thrilled to HEAR it. Such a special talent for writing and performing, not to mention your outstanding abilities to pick and guide the best band for each task, and then there's the mixing/mastering hats you wear that fit so well.
I only ostensibly mentioned the lyrics, but, man, you hold the royal flush every hand.

This is great, Floyd!
Definitely hear an Eagles vibe happening in spots.
Great vocal and harmonies, and of course the production and mix are top notch.
Love that guitar solo! Perfect fit for the song.
Nicely done, enjoyed!
