Floyd ...
If I could hear this song every time I turned on my radio, I'd never turn it off. I can't think of a country love song/ballad I've ever heard in my 75+ years I like more than this one. In my opinion, your songwriting is better than Jeffery Steele, Kris Kristofferson, etc. I see you as a modern day Harlan Howard and Bill Anderson rolled into one.
The arrangement is stellar and perfectly fits the lyric. You have the ability to let power and strength in a song captivate and ingratiate its gentle sensitivities.
If I could think of all the superlatives in the English language, I don't think I would would be able find one that would be adequate for your talent. I'll shut up now and enjoy another listen.

All I can say about this song is that it is the best love song I have heard in a long time.
As usual this is pro all the way.
Loved it

Wow, what a way to say "He's back!!" Floyd, it is great to have you back, and I have to say, man I don't know when you wrote this, but this might be the best thing you have ever written, or that I have heard. At least, it is my favorite. This is not a good song. This is a GREAT song. An ASTOUNDING song. It all comes together here. It is pure, not forced, true to the soul, rings to the human core, feels true, sounds true, and is something we can all relate to. You don't try too hard, but the arc of the emotion is perfect and the poetry is just gorgeous. Man, congratulations. This is awesome. I feel I need to pony up now, and you have stirred my soul, so I am gonna come back with something. You know I will.  Thanks for that, David.... Floyd,
I always enjoy the gentler side of your music the most.
Your voice here is the ideal between strong and tender and there`s a sincerity that is immediately felt.
The lyrics are easily relatable; those closing chorus lines direct and powerful:
"what if I can`t walk on water
is my love enough for you"
Lovely simple arrangement with the fingerpicking guitar coming across crystal clear and the cello a nice touch.
A most enjoyable song to come back to after weeks away from hearing anything new.
Robert Thanks, Robert... I look forward to a new Floyd Jane song.
Yes, the certainty of enjoyment mixed with the anticipation is part of it but the lessons from listening are as important.
The bvox are ace...the choices and execution of them speak volumes.
Thanks, ray...

Bob said it well: “This piece is a masterclass in songwriting, performance and production.” From the very first line, Janice was smiling and saying “yeah!” Then as it went on she was smiling and singing along with you. “If you weren’t here beside me God knows what I’d do” Amen! You say more with two verses and a chorus than many an opus. Needless to say that we LOVE everything about this song. Thank you, Obiwan!  J&B

Floyd,
Love this track all the way through! Those guitars are beautiful! Your work with the string section is exceptionally good! Super vocals as always but the best thing here is quality of the write and arrangement! What a great song with production to match!
Thanks, Torrey Thanks for all the nice comments, Torrey.... Lovely song Floyd. Super vocal and lyric. Storytelling at its finest. Really well done... Thanks, Scott... Hi Floyd,
Another great song and beautifully sung.
Choruses a real highlight.
Mix is superb.
Brilliant!
Best Regards
Nigel Appreciate that, Nigel.... I haven't gotten all the way through my first listen to you and it's obvious I'll be back for more listens. Ballads seem to be the headlights that light a dark road on your drive to the next great song...
Charlie Thanks, Charlie.... Floyd...brother you are a "Wordsmith"...I'm always amazed at you and your craft...I hope you have a publisher or a producer in your back pocket....this is a masterpiece...this along with so many of your songs should be playing on country radio...what a hook and every line supports it and builds such a great heart felt song...love the two part and the string pad coming in...man I wish I'd written this song...that's how good I thought this was...in under 5 minutes too!!...Wow! Very nice of you to say, Dan. Thanks. For me music is all about emotions, and man, did you succeed here!
That's a wonderful song.
If anyone (myself included) ever should say "there's too much love songs" just give him a loving kick into the gonads and let him listen to this song.
The melody and flow of "if there's no pot of gold at the end", dude, that's poetry at its finest.
I take my virtual hat off to you! Thanks, B.D.

Floyd,
This piece is a masterclass in songwriting, performance and production.
We all aspire to be songwriters - you truly are one...
Bob Much appreciated, Bob... A masterpiece. For me, the lyrics took it over the top. But this is, of course, a masterpiece in every aspect, and from every angle. I've been there ... like many others; but few can articulate it, lyrically and musically, as you have done. In awe; bravo. Thanks, James... What if... you CAN walk on water when it comes to making outstanding music, Floyd. Man, chills, chills and more chills. Seriously. You are one inspirational songwriter, Floyd. Man, those supertracks are outstanding, so you are also so inspirational using this incredible software. Thanks so much for this stuff. Also, thanks for allowing downloads of your songs so the inspiration continues when I drive. Thanks, Marty!! Floyd, this is the picture of excellence. Once again a wonderful write, but my gosh, the production is sooooo polished. I wish I could offer something in the form of critique, but how can you improve perfection? Fantastic write, great guitar sounds, loved the bass you chose, the strings the cello the BGV's ... everything fits together like a hand in a glove. Great job Floyd, thanks for posting so the rest of us can hear. Thanks for all of that, Brad... Hi Floyd
Beautiful song
Excellent sung and played
You have aligned the background track perfectly with the song
Really a great result
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Thanks, Andi....

All I can say Floyd is you have produced one excellent song here.
From top to bottom this is what quality sounds like.
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2025 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

I often say "this is one of your best" but this time I especially mean it. This one has just enough of a hooky chorus to keep me humming it later in the day. Plus I love what the lyrics have to say. You've written so many great songs. I once went through your website and tried to whittle out which ones are my favorites, but it turned into a bigger task than I thought. I guess you should make an album for Spotify called simply The Best of Floyd Jane. It would be interesting to see which songs you would pick.
