FJ, Classic Country! Ace lyrics / phrasing and vocals. You are one of few singers, that I don't have to follow written lyrics  Solid bed and clear mix. Listens very well. No complains. Thank you for sharing. Misha.

Sounds great! I especially love the internal rhymes (scars/heart, go/slow, etc.) and the harmonies. As B.D. says, it feels effortless. It tells a story well, with a nice payoff line. Top notch, as usual.  Thanks, David. Hi Floyd,
Another cracker! - Lovely Vocals and good lyrics.
Best Regards
Nigel Thanks, Nigel....

Floyd,
Terrific country tune . . . skillfully sung, arranged and produced. Love the touch on the harmonies/BGVs . . . perfectly balanced. But, as excellent as every aspect of this is, it’s the write that slays on this one. Masterfully written! Excellent listen!
All my best to you,
Deej

Excellent opening with the pedal. The whole band is just perfect and perfectly placed in the masterful mix. Love the build to the chorus. Every one of your songs starts with a great idea --something that needs to be said (even if it was said before, no one says it as well as you do), then you develop it around a catchy hook to grab your listener, and keep it superbly stocked with fine musicians. The cherry on top is your radio-ready & relatable voice. Always a pleasure, Floyd.

W7, or the internet, is working this evening.
LOVE the harmonies.
Really cool arrangement and the drums drive the tune to keep the positivity.
The dynamics you incorporated work a treat.
I'm pleased I was able to hear this after a day of wondering.
Top shelf. ray - thanks for coming back for another try...

Good to see you with a new one, floyd, it's been a while!
Lovely song, so well written as per usual, and your voice is perfect for this type of material. Love the harmonies!
I like the little double shot at 1:46, you used the microchord feature I guess?
Nice one, enjoyed. Thanks, Dave. This was produced LONG before the microchords were available. I just copied and pasted the shot to get the doublr shot.... That is a good one.
Nice traditional country music. The low end was kinda lite but that doesn't matter since it's a case of personal taste.
I especially enjoyed the way you built the chorus. Nice job on the phrasing. Thanks, Herb... This has a good feel to it and is a good write and performance. Enjoyed my listen.
Charlie Thanks, Charlie....

Skillful lyrics with a universal theme.
Appealing melody that lends itself to hearing the song over and over again.
Nice one!

What Chord Structure did you use on this one. I love it.
Music is an expression that is a universal language, Never criticize anybody to harshly. They need time to grow but when they do, they do. Always be kind in what you say and do because the man upstairs is watching.

Yep ... just like my radio dialed itself back to 1979, and George Strait released a new one. I thought the bass line could have been upped just a bit. Regardless, it was a great listen. As is everyone else, I'm always in awe of how casual and effortless your songs always sound.
You never disappoint ...

“love that's true and sure is worth waiting for" We both agree. You’re a master of the two verses and a chorus write as this song shows. And it is so good to hear some traditional country music. Ace vocals, band and mix, mr jane! Welcome back, J&B

Hey Floyd! Just wanted to say that I listened to your new song and it's seriously amazing! It's got all the right elements to make it a hit on the radio. Honestly, it's just as good as anything I hear on country radio these days and I could totally see other artists grabbing this for themselves.
Your lyrics are super relatable and the tune is catchy - I can't stop humming it! Your vocals, production, and mix are all top-notch as usual.
I really love all the internal rhymes and harmonies you've got going on in there. Overall, it's a solid and nostalgic country tune with some seriously skillful lyrics and a universal relatable theme.
It's so great to see you back with new material and this song definitely does not disappoint. Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
(This review was written by AI based off of all of the comments people made up to this point. I'm not sure if this would be considered our first AI review?)
Seriously though, great song in EVERY aspect my friend.

This is what I wish modern country radio was playing these days! Great job, Floyd, as usual. It checks all the right boxes for what makes a great song IMHO: great vocals; intriguing, well-placed hook; great production; time-honored structure!
Nice of you to say, Dewey. Thanks... Hi Floyd,
the missing "I " in the link was the reason.
Now it works, and how it works!
That is a proper Floyd production. It's a gem.
I enjoyed my multiple listens.
Guenter Guenter - thanks for giving it another try. Always great to see you here. Wish you were still posting those incredible music pieces of yours... Hi, Floyd, another excellent song, love the lyrics the vocal is excellent. love your contributions!!! well done thanks for sharing, Eric Thanks, eric.... Lovely song Floyd. It has a very nostalgic feel to it. Smooth as butter man. The Butter Man says "Jammin' Thanks!"....

I've missed this VOICE. Masterful writing, too. When floyd jane is on top form, very, very few can ever meet (or come close, even, to) that standard. And this is definitely one of those top level songs. And the way you know just how to narrate a song ... wow. We could all learn so much from you. Hats off. James - you are quite kind. Thanks. Floyd, how you can come up with one outstanding song after another is way beyond my comprehension.
Another radio ready song.
Loved it.
Always appreciated, Mario... Wow, that was beautiful. Great Job Floyd! I could imagine George Strait singing that one. Thanks, paddy. (If you run into George, let him know ) FJ, Classic Country! Ace lyrics / phrasing and vocals. You are one of few singers, that I don't have to follow written lyrics Solid bed and clear mix. Listens very well. No complains. Thank you for sharing. Misha. Thanks, Misha. It's nice to know that the vocals are clear.

Floyd,
This harkens back to the Country music I last enjoyed in the 80's! That's not a knock in any way! That's a fresh sound again to my ears! Love the tempo, fits the phrasing of the lines so well! I enjoyed how well you worked that pedal steel in there without anything sounding "off". I always struggle with that! The vocal is great as are the tight harmonies! You prove with every post that you are at the top of the mountain around here and have the chops to be a major Country star, and that's a fact!
Thanks, TB
