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.

Thanks for stopping by, Janne...
TOP MARKS all round Floyd & co - amazing how so many on the forum are 'flying' with their songwriting, recording, mixing & mastering!
Very well done folks, hats off to you!!

We appreiate that, Carl...
I don't know which one of you wrote the opening lines, but its a doozy. Vocal, harmony, and instrumentation sell this excellent song.
Thanks, Scott. Those opening lines came from the pen of Mr. Merritt....
Sad break up country song ... works on every level: Lyrics are clever, vocals are authentic, backing tracks are in the Goldilocks zone, production 100%.
Thanks, Elliott....
Special thanks to Bud for inviting me to the party and to Janice for really getting it going - always the life of the party...
