It's such an awesome production. Love your vocal in this and the superb harmony by Janice. You guys always sound so good together.

The mix is stellar. This should be played everywhere and on every platform! Pro, pro & pro!

Really nice write and production y'all. The drums have a solid feel, and are very warm. A fine, fine ballad.

Good instrument choices and vocals by all.

Really liked it.

Hi, floyd jane.

Yeah, I remember this one. The lyrics and delivery have the same gut punch now as they did then.

Top shelf work by everyone involved.

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

Copyright 2015? Old one redone? New tracks? New vocal? Or... first time out of the box?

A collaboration of stars, that hits the stars - hats off to you all.

What a wonderful write. The vocals are (as expected) over-the-top good. Love the high notes, floyd. A masterfully told story in the lyrics that would fit in any radio playlist. A pro production all the way. Thanks you, Janice, Bud and floyd.

We are fortunate to have appreciative listens. We appreciate you!

Classic sounding fj song with a strong melody and a bitter story, I like the irony in "way to go, good job". Excellent tight arrangement and mix. The solo guitar and the guitar to make thicker 2nd chorus work very well. And the vocals are very emotional, especially the bridge sounds powerful, almost too powerful to make the line "to hold myself together" convincing. Glad to hear also Janice's voice.

I don't know which one of you wrote the opening lines, but its a doozy. Vocal, harmony, and instrumentation sell this excellent song.

Really, really, good!
The instrumentation is also excellent, the icing is the B3, which adds a beautiful and emotional new layer that is unfortunately a little forgotten in newer songs.

That is a fine review and we are happy to have participated in this production.
We do appreciate your comments!

Floyd and Bud, what a great song. It's got everything: sad but strong lyrics (with some very smart lines), great vocal and harmonies, terrific band and professional production.
Surely it's on the radio in your part of the world.
Top shelf.
