This is a great track Floyd.
Lyrically, musically, vocally and production-wise it's top-notch. The harmony with Janice is great too.
Love that baritone guitar RealTrack.
Cheers,
Mike Thank you Mike! Janice

Yes, what Charlie said. Exactly. You have a really fine style that is always recognizable as your own. Expectations are always met and the ear is always pleased, the heart engaged.  Thanks, David!!! FJ + Janice
Powerful slower tempo song. Excellent, deep vocals and smooth harmonies. Ace work on the drums (I assume these are the loops?) and overall production is a very PRO level. Solid collaboration. Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Much appreciated, Misha....

Floyd / Janice,
Great, great song... A beautifully constructed and produced track.
You two bring it home every time.
Loved it!
Bob Really nice work. Excellent job on the writing, singing, recording, and mix.
What's not to like about one of your songs? You generally check all the right boxes and this one is no exception to that rule.
Quite an enjoyable listen. What a great use of a great hook! Fantastic vocals to match! Thanks y’all for the vocal comments! Janice

Hi Floyd,
I enjoyed your heartbraking song a lot! And I read all the posts on it and can only admit what was written.
You are at your very, very best with these heartbraking themes. Like it's your own personal experience.
You are -to me- a master on these kind of lyrics.
Nothing I just wrote is new to you. I wrote most of it before (except that 'master' thing)...
I almost forgot to mention how I liked the chorusses and harmonies with Janice. They sound so powerfull. A golden choice!
I conclude, quoting a comment from Dave: Top notch!
Hans

Floyd,
the delivery of
"i still miss"
says it all for me.
You know when & how.
Excellent mic technique doesn't go astray either.
Janice's harmonies with you have that sibling thing.
Thanks, ray.... This is a great track Floyd.
Lyrically, musically, vocally and production-wise it's top-notch. The harmony with Janice is great too.
Love that baritone guitar RealTrack.
Cheers,
Mike Thanks, Mike....

om om - thanks.... Thanks, Floyd and Janice. "Beautiful heartbreak" is no longer an oxymoron, but an apt description of the magic you guys bring out with this song. Floyd you check all of the boxes in writing, producing and presenting such fine quality. I'm really looking forward to an 8-hour driving trip alone tomorrow. You'll both be with me to shorten the distance and make the inevitable road delays bearable. Stopped in traffic, I'll roll down the window and won't be surprise if many will leave their cars and dance to the music. - hope you had a good trip!!!

Wow, I felt that one!
Beautiful composition and very well sung (love the harmonies!).
Rob floyd

A fine example of lyric writing: saying what needs to be said with no extraneous verbiage. Beautifully produced and performed. Nice one!

Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
