Floyd,
I like the feel of this—nice catchy beat—and I love your vocal on this in particular . . . sits well in the mix, very warm, but also with a poppy feel to it. Which is to say, it’s just a terrific vocal. Not sure what the original demo sounded like, but this one seems like it would be a hard beat. Impressive work!
All my best to you,
Deej Thanks, Deej... Hi Floyd,
We looked for the original, but it seems it's not there yet.
But we don't need that one, because we enjoyed this song very much.
It has everything a good song needs.
Great music and vocals, especially the harmonies!
Rob and Anne-Marie
Thanks, y'all! (the original is now posted - step back a few posts)

Hi Floyd,
Thanks for posting the original song too. Enjoyed that one as well, or even a bit more ;-)
Liked the fiddle and fiddle chops very much!
But somewhere in the back of my head I had the feeling knowing this song. Could that be?

Just the bare bones of this song, without a fancy production, reveals a song of high potential commercial value.
Love the lyrics. Exceptional vocal! Much appreciated, Scott... You and Reid wrote another classic song, floyd.
Your excellent vocals, guitar and the BiaB choices surely fit the bill for the country-lite/Americana/Songwriter style and the mix is spot on.
Having now listened to the demo we once again see just how much luck is involved with song success as this should’ve been a hit!
However, we’ll stick with your current version. As Ray said so well, “your voice is the return of a good friend.”
Enjoyed them both,
J&B
Thanks, y'all!!!

FJ,
Great effort. I like your latest take better than the demo, both musically and vocally. Catchy, full of energy. Excellent breaks & phrasing. Mix is ACE. Enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

I've been holding my breath for this. What a relief. Thanks, Floyd. You were right, as I knew you would be, and this is such an outstanding version of a terrific song. Last night I was at a jam and Zydecoal Bill, a non-commenting forum member, came over to tell me how he absolutely loved your new song, this one. Wait till he hears this version. A great song done so well. Marty -  Tell Z I said "thanks!" when you see him again... Yeah, that professional demo sounds great, no question about it.
Man, I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to write such a great song and produce such a high quality demo and not have it picked up! There are LITERALLY hundreds of thousands of killer songs/demos sitting on the shelves in Nashville that no one will ever hear. And every single one will sound like it should have been on the radio. Another thing to consider - each of those demos probably cost $300-$400 (per song) - you can buy BIAB for a one time purchase (in that range) and produce as many songs as you can think up (with no further cost) - for the rest of your life....

Think i seen a review / comment on Deej ,stuff about the lyrics confusing you or .... Point is Floyd your lyrics are too direct to be anything considered as a song or spoken poetry !!. go back and listen to your words !!.
or listen to bands like beatles,fleetwood mac, beach boys etc ..etc ..
FORGOT TO RUN THE DRYER MY JEANS ARE SOAKING WET !!.
Really Cmon !!where does that fit !!?.
This is what causes !! stagnation in a Forum Buddy !!

Floyd,
I showed Tater Totts what beatmater said, and asked him if you should let beatmaster show you how you to write a better song.
Now bear in mind, Tater is mad at you and he doesn't like you. At all. He has said some ugly things. He said he wants to kick your...well you know. He also says you are a windbag, and on and on. And in love with yourself, and on and on and on. I have tried many times to tell him that you have a heart of gold, but you hurt his feelings with the song where you made fun of him I think. (Or he thinks you were making fun of him.)
BUT, then I showed him the post from beatmaster.
Never, ever, ever in my life I have heard such foul language. Ever. It was unbelievable what he said about poor little beatmater and what he would do if he ever got his hands on him.
I can't repeat any of it. Because it is Sunday.
Man, I think people on the forum better chill out before it starts to look like Portland.

Wow, I've been gone about 6 months and I come back to see you are still crankin out the prime choice tunes. Some people try and write songs and some people show the rest of us how to do it. Not really my style of music but I'm grinnin ear to ear right now having totally enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing.

I really like the "kitchen sink drama" of the verses and the contrast with the high drama of the choruses.
I've oft been accused of being a critic rather than a commentator but I do leave my, admittedly minimal, credentials in view.
Cheers

Worth the wait, Floyd. An education to a hobbyist such as I am. So, this is a demo, meaning you don't credit the vovalist? That fiddler sounds something like Gener Elders. Anyway, I can see that one right on target, especially as Nashville seems to be resolving some of her identity conflicts.

Very nice cheerful and catchy pop song, music and lyrics bring smile on my face. Enjoyed the good selection of poppy instruments, especially those solo ones. The mix and vocals very pleasant.

Floyd,
Infectiously catchy- hard not to sing along on the chorus- and the lyrics are smart, happy and sing so well. That`s a nod to your phrasing and timing, of course which is spot on here.
The Floyd back catalogue is deep and full of gems!

FLoyd,
This is great! I can't imagine how a demo you had produced earlier could be any better! This has all the little clever lyric lines and hooks needed to be a big hit! Everything is spot on! It sounds perfect to me!
Impressed as always! Thanks, Torrey
