Continuing my piano journey...

The BAND:

DON'T MISS LOVE


i asked her out for coffee
she said "how 'bout margaritas instead?"
one thing leads to another
tuesday 2pm we're still in bed
you never know how forever may begin
or when your best laid plans
might take it on the chin
   
   don't be afraid
   to take the chance
   make your move
   join the dance
   don't be afraid
   don't miss love


that first night was unexpected
we've shared more than we can count since then
no telling what's around the corner
stay open to any where or when
'cause out of the blue
love takes you by surprise
you'll know it in your heart
you'll see it in her eyes

   don't be afraid
   to take the chance
   make your move
   join the dance
   don't be afraid
   don't miss love



Type something.

Hello Floyd
Very nice song
Your great vocals are embedded in an excellent background track
Do you also play the solo guitar ?
Your piano playing sounds really good
And the lyrics have a great and true message.
An all around great production

Hey man, this is really gorgeous in all ways.

Like someone said on SoundCloud the mix is like a flower unfolding.

Exactly.

Great job!

Floyd,

This absolutely beautiful... Your piano playing is very inspiring. You have a great touch with the keys.

Your vocal is superb and the mix is crystal clear. So well done. I also love the tempo and your phrasing in this song - you know your way around emotive arrangements.

Loved it all!

Everything sounds right for the song.
The piano part is the star for me though...def. something RTs can't manage.
The narrative is as poignant as the arrangement.


Cheers

Give it to Elton John and it'll be in the charts.
Wonderful.
Love the piano!
I was kind of expecting a BIG chorus at the end, but after listening I realized that this would take the song in a completely different direction.
I LOVE the melancholy I feel during the outro.

Spendid piano, Floyd. Next journey I reccomend some reeds. Good golly, man, this is so pretty. I really like the lyrics, the simple production, the subtle yet strongly supporting BGVs. Don't Miss Love --> great advice.

"i asked her out for coffee
she said "how 'bout margaritas instead?" and that's when you fell in love.

You have an incredible knack for making your songs so relatable, starting with lyrics that speak to mind and heart, then lay them over the perfect melody to please the ears, and accompany them all with the best instruments to convey the feeling, then master the production to a professional level of excellence. A near-impossible songwriter's roadmap to follow, but always an enjoyable journey to explore.


Enjoy whatever happens!

FJ,
smooth tune. Minimalistic, but very tasteful. Very nice piano work! You don't need 3rd party for that smile
Well composed and sung. Mix is very clear. Good one.
Thank you for sharing.

It's a beautiful song. It's very well orchestrated between the voice, the guitar, the piano and the strings behind.

Very pretty major sevenths and piano playing. Guitar fits right in.

Of course, your vocal is stellar as always. You really know how to bring a lyric to life. Gotta say - I was so focused on the lyric that I barely noticed what was in the arrangement.

So... excellent arrangement as well, because it kept me focused on the vocal. laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

This new journey is paying dividends in a big way. Your minimalistic style is perfect for the contemplative nature of the melody and lyric. Good choice of complimentary instruments and of course the mix is perfect. Great vocal. A major league player who is always in my starting lineup. Happiest of New Years, Tom

HI Floyd

Simplicity with elegance isn't as easy to do as one might think. But you pull it off to perfection. As Ray mentioned, the piano is the star - and I'll add, of a beautifully written piece of music. I enjoyed every note, every word - everything. That's one helluva song!

Happy New Year,

Alan & Di

Hi Floyd,

Loved the piano! It really makes the song IMHO. Also loved that Brent fills RT, perfect for the song.

I'm hearing artifacts of some sort throughout the vocal track in a couple of places, and I don't think it's at my end although no one else has mentioned it.
For example check "you never know where forever might begin". Very noticeable on the word "where".

Excellent vocal and lyric of course, and a most enjoyable listen!

Hi there Floyd,
Clever timing change in the chorus section (ie lines 2 and 3 come at you quicker than you'd expect!)
Lead vocal very accomplished
I’m having real problems with the verse melody line (must be that maj7)
Mix is nicely constructed – sure there was no room for some very light drum/percussion?

Well done on this one!
All the best, Marc
