Man, where have I been lately? Four days have passed since you posted this, and one of the reasons I come here is to check out a new Floyd Jane song. (You know I love all the old ones too --my travelling companions.) Yes, I remember those big dreams, and you singing about them makes them more real. "In the end it was just you and me, girl." Looking back, that (for me) was the biggest dream come true. Keep living the dream, Floyd!!

Pristine mix... The Vocal sound is outstanding, love the subtle processing.
What a great song too... Top shelf production. Thanks, bloc-head!!! Hi Floyd most excellent everything is so well done the lyrics got my heart another great contribution well done sir Eric Thanks, Eric... Nice one.
That's a common story that resonates well with the vast majority of folks.... which in the case of a song.... works well.
Loved how the bridge turned it around and refocused on the couple...and that what really matters is the important things....and that's the big dream in the end. Thanks, Herb...

Hi, Floyd !
You are just amazing !:)
This tune is IMO one of your absolute best maybe even the best ! You really did try your wings in Hollywood and Nashville ? The competition must be awesome out there ? I like everything you do musically !
Thank you for yet another masterpiece !
Cheers Dani
Dani - you are far too kind. Thanks for the great comments!! (Hollywood is a fabrication. But Nashville and New York are for real. Philadelphia was part of the journey as well...)

“promises we whisper you to me, me to you in the end it's all we need, girl big dreams can come true…” J&B: Yes they can! Janice: When Bud first saw this post a few days ago he came to me in the dining room and said, “You’re going to love floyd’s new song.” So, I stopped what I was doing and read the lyric and got all teary eyed. Then I listened three times in a row and was happily singing along with my favorite lead singer. This is a beautiful lyric and melody and your phrasing is just amazing. Soul to the max. Bud: While we are speaking of max I’ll throw in the fine band and mix. And steels and banjos with a synth pad … who would’ve thunk? J&B: Another very, very hi bar production mr jane! Us

FJ, Another well produced tune. You are so good with your structure! Nothing crazy, but everything is very well thought out. Nice romantic lyrics. Phrasing was mentioned, and I will echo these positive remarks. Excellent vocals! Banjo was a good fit. Mix is clear. Easy listen. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

The changes for the chorus are classic, and very effective,in lifting the song and expectations. I had this cranked as the intro was so gentle and the vocals came in as quite a shock...I then turned things down and started again...works perfectly at "reasonable" volume/levels. The string squeak at 3.09 either adds authenticity or is annoying - depending on the listener. It bothered me - but only for a moment.
Yet another sincere, relatable narrative - you do them really well and there's no sign of staleness or overwrought compensating - set to a succinct backing and communicated with THAT voice.
REALLY, really cool. ray - thanks for the fine review! Much appreciated, of course. Sorry about the initial loud vocals For me, there is an appropriate level for an acoustic guitar. That generally is a lower volume than many folk mix to. That can cause that initial vocal burst. I hadn't noticed the squeak. It IS definitely noticeable (once pointed out). Easy listening - relaxed beat, mellow singing, laid back arrangement. Subtle harmonies. Good mix. The banjo was a nice addition. And of course, well sung. One of those writes that signals the "twist" far in advance, but it's still so sweet when it finally lands. David - thanks! Indeed, one of those I-saw-that-coming-from-a-mile-away lyrics. Spend any time writing in Nashville and you get that gotta-have-a-happy-ending ingrained in ya in a hurry (and after a while you might get a bit lazy about it). Waddya gonna do? Really great song done with your signature style man. I enjoyed it a lot. A great message for all of us for sure. Thanks, David!

Hi Floyd,
A constant flow of very strong songs from your hand. And in a way classic, because all are so recognizable yours. Therefore lovely songs! This one is no exception and especially wonderful in the chorusses / harmonies! And I haven't mentioned the strong lyrics yet.
On the other hand, after I wrote this to you I had that strange feeling I have written it before...
Have a nice day, Floyd! Hans

Floyd,
You're still at the head of the class teaching the rest of us how it's done!
Love that finger picked guitar in this, it really has a warm sound that is the backbone of the track! Vocals are setting so sweetly in the mix (bg vox also)!
It's another exceptionally good song that should have mass appeal!
You always impress me every time I listen! Thanks, Torrey I truly appreciate that, Torrey (especially coming from you...) Good song. The happy ending was nice. Good story the lyrics tell - that's hard to do. The band was spot on. Good work. jpt3 - Thanks! as always...

It's always a high point in my day when I click on the forum and you've posted a new tune. I think most people can relate to this song. Most people don't see their dreams realized. To that extent, I thought perhaps your 'happy ending' was unrealistic. But people want a happy ending - no, they need that happy ending. So you made the right call.
Beautiful production that invites multiple listens, as usual. Thanks, TM. It was not intended to convey a "happy ending" as much as a realization that they (the couple in the song) had always had "that dream come true" in their lasting relationship/love... Another beautiful song Floyd. So much expression in your vocal. Just love the way you produce your songs. So clear and well balanced. Perfection Thanks, Scott!! floyd
A classic floyd Jane song form start to finish.
Lovely lyric, excellent vocal and a crisp engaging production.
Nice work all round.
Peter
Thanks, Peter...

Beautiful reflective write!!!! Lyrics really hit home!! Love the way you changed the music between verse and chorus, and the pedal steel drifting off makes such a nice contrast with the syncopated rhythm of the guitar/drums!! Love the banjo!! You are a master, my friend!!!! Take care. Greg

Another professional FJ masterpiece.
Outstanding as usual.
A song about big dreams, something all of us had in our youth.
Loved it. Nice of you to say, Mario. Thanks! Very nice mellow, country sound. Great harmony and really country-sounding lead vocal. Nice job. Thanks for having a listen, Allan... Man, where have I been lately? Four days have passed since you posted this, and one of the reasons I come here is to check out a new Floyd Jane song. (You know I love all the old ones too --my travelling companions.) Yes, I remember those big dreams, and you singing about them makes them more real. "In the end it was just you and me, girl." Looking back, that (for me) was the biggest dream come true. Keep living the dream, Floyd!! Marty - thanks for the nice comments....

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?
