Much appreciated, Dan...

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 smile

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 ;-)

Excellent!


Thanks, Dave!

Exceptionally strong vocal performance.


Thanks, Scott...

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...

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. smile

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!
