I'm always amazed at the quality and consistency of your writing, composing and production skills...this is a lovely and tender melody coupled to beautiful lyrics...I think it's a great technique when a poignant word or phrase is repeated over and over to in the chorus or verse to bring home the heart of the song..."if you'd ask" is the heart and beats throughout...another great one Floyd (IMHO)!

Version 2013 shines.
Not the bells & whistles of subsequent versions but the core is precisely what a heart break requires.
As usual it's the superb voice singing a wonderful melody that makes the painful lyric live.
ACE.
Cheers

Very intimate intro Floyd. Loved the bass and guitar framing your vocal. Really draws you in. Awesome production as always. Well done.

Floyd, an incredibly tight, perfect tune. LOVE your vocals and the vocal FX/placement in the mix. The harmonies are very cool, too. Those RTs are sweet and arranged very neatly to serve the song. I could go on, but all the good stuff has been said. And it's perfect. Much thanks, Ron... Hi Floyd,
You and Bill write some of the most true and genuine country - as good as anyone I can think of. Two of the best seasonings on a plate of country goodness.
Alan We really appreciate that, Alan... Floyd & Bill, great song and recording/mixing - what a voice, beautiful job!!
Excellent production, all first class!
Best, Carl Thanks, Carl! Classic country done only the way you can, what's not to like?
Great write, excellent vocal, just top notch all the way. Thanks, Dave...

Usual high quality and the lyrics got me thinking (oh no).
Floyd, I'm blaming you for screwing up this relationship.:)
Why does she have to ask if you love her? Why didn't you just man up and tell her?
The song could have a great twist if the last chorus went:
"You didn't ask, is it too late to say I Love You"
grain of salt comment and I did like the song. Thanks, Izzy. I'll blame all that on Bill.  Very pretty arrangement Floyd.
I like the instruments you chose.
This has a very sweet sentimental sound to it and a very nice mix. It kind of has sort of a Dan Fogelberg type flavor to it or at least that's what it reminded me of.
Nice job! Glad you like the band. You don't write standard stuff, floyd, unless we're talking about songs that become so popular that every band everywhere MUST have it on thier setlists. In that way this one is quite standard. But compared to other songs of "Old Country Heartbreak stuff," this one is far from the standard fare. That is if you'd ask me.
Yeah, I'd hold your vocal high above the other standards. Your ability to write the best, relatable, pleasent-sounding songs with some terrific accompaniement and mix --well, there aren't any better. Best those others standards could achieve is side-by-side comparisons --and most opinions would be like mine. Ya ain't standard, sir; you're the high mark. Much Appreciated, Marty! This is my type of song: I like ones about lost love. A very strong melody. It seems to me this one should have been picked up by a publisher. Thanks, Scott... Hi floyd.
I really, really liked listening to this. Emotional ballads are one of my favourite types of music, whatever the genre. Everything sat comfortably and showcased your vocals perfectly. There is nothing that was out of place to me.
All the very best!
--Noel Noel - it is always great to see you in the Showcase! We miss you! Thanks for stopping by...

Floyd and Bill, a classic country heartbreak song.
I don't know how you can come up with an outstanding song after outstanding song after outstanding song etc
Regardless this is another winner.

Inflection on "almost". Stunning What a song. Well done to the both of you. Your vocals never disappoint, either. How you deliver ... that voice which sounds like it's been through the mill and come out wryer and wiser. A consummate professional, that's who you are. Bravo. The accent of "in a heartbeat" ... The harmonies, too ... wow. Bravo!

Floyd, you really have a beautiful voice and the song with the pedal steel is well arranged.

Hi Floyd,
A remarkable 'love' song, crafted and performed with a conviction only you could achieve.
David Cuny wrote all about your lyrics I feel. It is exactly how - only you - can create this.
At least, that's how it seems. In any case, I can't do it that way. Not even in Dutch.
Hans

Love this line: “if you'd ask about the future i'd forget about the past” Good collab, as always between you and Bill. Excellent melody and vocals that had Janice singing along quickly. 2013 or not that is a great band and mix. Nice! J&B
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos
