Floyd,
An excellent and beautifully written song. So exquisitely crafted with elements of heartbreak and tender moments.
One of your very best vocals. You are an amazing singer. Great selection of tracks / instrumentation. A stellar mix.
I am always blown away when I listen to your stuff. This piece truly sets a high musical standard...
Bob

Very nice. Great idea for the song. It sounds pristine which is all you can ask..
I enjoyed it

Hi Floyd.
The music style is not my thing but there is no denying the fact that you set the production bar in the exosphere.
That's a sad story (i think) , Hope it's not autobiographical. Great vocals and masterful use of biab.

Floyd...this is beautiful on several levels...the story is precious...the music is stellar...the concept is timely and valid...the lyrics are flawless and your performance is one of your best...you, more than the rest of us IMO always deliver material that is worthy of recognition and IMO radio time...I don't know how to say more...I always look forward to the next...but I'll study this one for now...well done!

Floyd ... this is utterly superb. For many reasons, this has struck a nerve with me. Regardless: what a song, and - above all - what lyrics. Great delivery, of course, too. Bravo.

Lovely story...lovely ideas...lovely band & lovely mix.
The vocal is the sort of retrained yet emotional thing you do oh so well.
The only oddity I heard was the blend on believe...it sounds okay but a bit pressured, perhaps a little too close in the stereo image perhaps. I can't explain & it may well just be me & my listening gear.
Lovely, sweet, gentle & wonderfully done..as is your acoustic part.
Cheers

What a lovely, gut punch of a song. Wow. Superb write, killer vocals and a very sweet arrangement. Love that little pause before the ending, too. Just masterful and thoroughly enjoyable.
Forgot to add: Knew when I saw the title I would love this song, but didn't know how. Very clever concept and a cool twist indeed.

Intelligent comments welcomed.
...
Artificial Intelligence....not so much... Hmh, your statement makes me wonder... how do I know that I am NOT an AI? I mean, I could go the easy way of Descartes and say, "I think, therefore I am. But, WHAT am I? A human being? An AI? An actor in a dream of a sleeping dog? And even if I did find out, what about the other personalities that live in my head? These voices I hear. Are they real or just artifacts of incomplete AI training? I think I have to write a song about that... Anyway, no matter what I am, I (or something in my head) think this fingerpicking style fits sooo good, and so does the piano, they complement each other so well. Wonderful backing tracks! And I love your lyrics, I wouldn't mind if there was another verse. A good story that I can relate to and calm but emotional vocals to deliver it.. Great stuff. More please! Encore!

Great job, Floyd! Especially fond of the chord changes in the chorus and the melodic lift you give it.

Floyd, you have outdone yourself on this one.
I don't know how you can come up with winner after winner like you do. I am very envious.
Your vocals are always top notch, your backing tracks always perfect, and your mixes outstanding.
This one has a special meaning for me because of my wife's early life situation.
IMHO this is your best to date.

Poignant and sensitive lyrics. Another strong vocal with emotion touched delivery. The whole song reminded me of Mike Nesmith.

You are the master of so much, floyd. Outstanding lyrics with a masterful production. I've never heard a song of yours that wasn't just over-the-top sensational. And for all of us here, inspirational --an unattainable highmark. Great choices and use of the BiaB team.

This is an excellent write and piece of music. It hits close to home. My wife's father has probably entered the last weeks of his life and we've been doing all we can to help care for him, but there's a lot of history similar to what you paint in this song. I only tell you this because I think your writing really helps explain some of the conflicting emotions she deals with. You have don e a remarkable job (as always) of telling a very relatable story and dealing with emotions that a lot of people deal with. The production (also, as always) is top notch. I think the simplicity (sounding, not necessarily putting together) works wonderfully. I thought the way you brought in that second guitar and then the piano was great, and the cello adds a perfect touch. Your vocals, I think, are outstanding - the exactly correct amount of processing to my ears. I did hear a little bit of a crackle in the recording at the very first word in the song, and then again at about 1:45 that sounded like a cut or something - just info. Great song Floyd, you always bring so much to this forum!

A truly lovely song. Nice sounding acoustic bed, very well done.
Excellent vocal and lyric.
Up to your usual (very high) standard.
