Floyd & Bill...that was another exceptional write...perfect arrangement IMHO...adding the right instrument at the right time is the art of arranging a song or a score and you are so gifted at that...you guys always tell a compelling story with your lyrics...it's seamless and conversational and always rapped in a great melody...no exception here! Much appreciated, Dan... Haven't been here in a while ... logged on, today. Saw this, thought: missed hearing a floyd jane song, let's give it a spin. "funny how time apart can teach you what is real how reaching from a distance lets you touch the way you feel." Exceptional lyrics. "it's just a few more days 'til you're home again i pray my heart can hold out 'til then..." Superb twist. Until here, I was (quite on purpose, right?) led to believe that her absence was permanent. This signalled her awaited return. Wow - so well done. I could feel my heart breathe in relief  Your vocals, especially in the last verse, where you sing in a strong dynamic, are really, really, really brilliant. SO difficult to sing at this slow speed without one's voice cracking or playing other tricks on one. You are a master of this kind of thing, and your voice never betrays you, but holds true. I am so wowed by this. One of your very best. Hats off. Thanks for the nice review, James. That "twist" was all Bill's doing.

Hi Floyd
Really good song
Everything perfect as always
But especially the solo guitar stands out
I didn't see the solo guitar in the BiaB info list at all
Can you tell me which one it is ?
It sounds really cool
Great work
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Another great song from you, Floyd! Your stuff always sounds so pro. Tip of the hat to Bill for the lyrics too of course.
Excellent! Thanks, Dave! I read through the lyrics first, and for some reason, I expected a faster tempo. It was a pleasant surprise to hear the opening acoustic and singing. The lyric also changed expectations when we get to the bridge.
Exceptionally strong vocal performance. Thanks, Scott...

Floyd, you have posted some outstanding songs on this site but IMHO this is your best to date.
You and Bill's lyrics are astronomical. As I was listening I said what a beautiful sad song. Then you hit me with these lines "it's just a few more days 'til you're home again
i pray my heart can hold out 'til then..." WOW! Brilliant!
You always have the perfect backing tracks for your songs.
Another winner that should be on the radio.
Thanks, Mario. Much appreciated... FJ,
you and Bill have amazing musical bond. Super tune. Lyrics have a Sting feel to them. Exellent vocals and phrasing. Super arrangement! Electric solo worked really well. I went to check your band list, but it seems not there. Was it played? Ace collab and thank you for sharing.
Misha. Thanks, Misha. The solo guitar is 1167 Guitar, Electric, Soloist RockBalladBrent Ev 065. When I put the list up, I realized that the solo guitar was left off...but then forgot to go back and add it...

BIG SOUND! The band and your vocal are a showcase for the power of dynamics in song. The solo guitar sounds great and it accentuates your phrases to perfection. Janice always says to Bud, “just listen to his voice!” and sure enough, she did this time too. The dynamics of it are stunning. She also mentioned how thankful she is for learning from you how to better use harmony for effect. The melody tugs at your heart and keeps the fine lyric on our minds. And per usual the fj production, in all aspects, is high bar -- heck top of the bar. You and Bill have given us another gem, mr. jane! J&B
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos
