FOR A LOVE LIKE THAT My wife loves Broadway musicals. (season tickets to the Straz in Tampa) So I get dragged to them all the time. Last season absolutely Sucked. This season was surprisingly good. I actually enjoyed several of them. That is unusual for me. I did not expect much from "The Outsiders" - based on a 60's-best-seller-made-into-an-80's-movie. Turned out to be the best we've ever seen (and we've seen all the biggies through the years). The songs in "The Outsiders" sound "more like what I would write" than the usual Broadway musical. That got me thinking... I thought that This I-Love-Tammy Tattoo might work as a central idea or catalyst. (I had just recently posted it). So I gathered 16 of my songs and created a story idea weaved through them. I explained this to my wife and told her she had to write the "book" (the term used to label the manuscript for a musical). She jumped at the idea. Had it finished in a couple of weeks. In the story, Tammy is so shocked by "Billy" getting an I-Love-Tammy tattoo, she leaves. She ends up tending bar in Ybor City. When her new bartending friend "Lina" asked what her story is, Tammy explains the tattoo thing. Lina lets Tammy know she's crazy to give up something like that. I did not have a song for that situation. So I had to write this one new song to complete the list... I wrote the song, created BIAB tracks, took the tracks to Studio One and sang it. I uploaded the vocal to Audimee to have it turned into a female vocal (it's a girl song). Basically, it (Audimee) gives you the exact vocal (the way I sang it) in a different voice. (done this for several of the songs that are sung by female characters. I would normally ask Janice to be my "girl singer", but this was a little too much to ask, I thought...) I then regened the BIAB tracks in the new key and remixed. The BIAB stuff: Style is _ROKAMER.STY (Pop American Guitar) RealTracks in style: ~388:Bass, Electric, Metal Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 629:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopAmericanDirty Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 632:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopAmericanMuted Ev 120 RealTracks in style: ~405:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 3438:Guitar, Electric, Soloist BritPsycPopBallad Ev 065 RealDrums in style:NashvilleEven8^6-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, HiHat Open Harmonies created using Melodyne. FOR A LOVE LIKE THAT Lyrics on web page. Do your thing. fj

Cool tune.
Welcome to the dark side.
Doesn't it feel good testing the AI waters?
The cool thing about Audimee is what it can do while still retaining the underlying groove of your vocals.
In this case, it shows through in the phrasing and vibrato. A female FJ as it were.
The song has a good rocking groove.
Edit: I believe you can get Audimee AI to generate a harmony rather than using melodyne to do it.

Great, great song with an uber infectious groove. And of course, primo lyrics. So many lines I could quote, but I especially liked the UFC reference. To my ears, Audimee singers are not as good as Suno. But I understand you're getting a female analog of your own voice, so there is that to consider. (I could hear you in the vocal, for sure). Interesting that this was inspired by a musical. It will be interesting to see where you go from here with this. I did miss your own vox because they are SO darn good, but I understand the needs of the song. Great work, let's hear more from this source of inspiration!

Floyd,
This sounds like the love child of Floyd Jane and Pat Benatar. And I mean that in the most positive sense.
AMAZING!!!

If I didn't know any better, I would have thought it was Chris from Blue Attitude singing here, even though her voice has a bit different timbre. Pretty good vocals. I'm not 100% sold on the vocal harmonies, to me, it sounds like Melodyne doesn't work as well with Audimee as it does with human voices. But I know from your work with J&B that you're pretty good at harmonies, so just sing the harmonies as well and send those to Audimee too. The band you chose is perfect, just like your production. The lyrics and the story are also very good, but I already expected that from Mr. "95% of all songs should be love songs" himself  I can't wait to hear it in the context of a full-length (Broadway) musical!

Hi Floyd!
Interesting reading of the context and origins of this song. I agree with Bob Dean about the Pat Benatar vibes - which is good. I’d love to hear the flow of songs in order, to hear how the music tells the story of the musical. In that sense, would it become a concept album?

Uber cool, Floyd. VERY strong write, can't wait to hear how this nests with the rest of the songs. That band is really cooking, too. The rhythm section is rock solid, and that soloist sounds very into it. Can definitely hear your trademark style in the vocals, but the vocals can stand on their own for sure. Nice work with this all the way around.

Hey that's a really cool song man, very fun.
Nice hook, great production and a real driving feel to it.

Wow, this sounds great Floyd! Love the heavy groove. I'm amazed at the vocal, I can sort of tell it was you but only because I'm listening really closely after reading your notes, I think if you hadn't told us I wouldn't have guessed. Makes me want to try it myself!  BIAB lead player is good, but I'm surprised you didn't record your own part, I think your chops are as good as his. Great music as always, Floyd, enjoyed very much.

This had me hooked from the intro! In all aspects this is a brilliant cruising rocker, plus I'm surprised at the switch to Audimee vocals, which are excellent. An incredible band and arrangement!

FANtastic, Floyd. Love the whole idea. Hey, I've sat in many orchestra pits for college productions (although i never went to college), so if ya need one, please...
Man, what a great idea, and i really like how you're developing it. This song and Tammy's Tattoos!!! This is gonna be the best thing of '26 for sure. I also hope the "book" will be available for purchase. Love this stuff.
It's really cool how you can create a whole musical by stringing (mostly already) written songs. That in itself is genius. If genius is singular, you are genii.

Wow Floyd that is really well written and arranged . . . It's another of yours that goes in my "Damn I wish I'd wrote that" listen to list!
I'm jealous as I have never been able to write a 'good' song for a female vocalist. A couple duets I think are really good is as close as I ever got.
My only nit pick would be the AI vocal. Now I probably wouldn't have noticed had I not known it was AI but there are some odd tones and artifacts if you really listen. Almost but not quite human sounding yet.
Absolutely great song though - someone like Carry Underwood could probably make that a big hit

The Audimee model suits my need here - it is quick and easy. And this is intended for a "storyboard" for the musical. So any lo-fi-ness is "okay"...

Bob Thanks a bunch, Bob. When I first got this mixed with the female vocal and regened BIAB tracks, my first thought was "...that has a Benetar vibe!" (which I was quite pleased about)....

Thanks, B.D.... I've listened carefully to the harmonies (based on your comments). I find nothing objectionable about the them - and, certainly, adequate for the purpose. If I need "real" harmonies, I know the best harmony singer in the world (and she is included in some of the songs being used). I just used the free 15 minutes that Audimee provides to get the conversions I needed...so using it for harmonies is out of the question - I have 9 seconds left. After this (the "storyboard" for the show) is finished, I can't imagine needing to use this stuff for anything else...

Andrew Thanks, Andrew. Perhaps, as we get close, I'll post a complete song list. That list would not necessarily tell a complete story without the necessary story/dialog to direct it. But as the story unfolds, all the songs do deal directly with the content...and fit perfectly as it goes...

I love the feminine side of FJ.
The tech did a great job of retaining the you in that vocal...I can hear "you" singing it as "she" does it.
The double tracking/bvox work a treat too.
The song - excellent.
Perhaps you should duet with you on a new one.
Excellent song, production & mix.
Cheers

Good one!
What an ambitious and creative project, which of course you completed with ease.
I can most definitely hear you, Floyd, your style and delivery, in the Audimee generated vocal.

Hi Floyd,
I read everything you wrote about how you came up with this song and also about how you transformed into a woman. Uh, only in terms of the vocals, of course!
I think the song sounds really great; a good rhythm, a good melody and lyrics (naturally), and also that female voice.
The funny thing was that while I heard her singing, I heard you singing too. And it was also funny that I read that Ray said almost the same thing. Oh, and Scott Olson (above) as well.
This doesn't mean there is anything wrong with that female vocal. Not at all! It just means that I have heard so many of your songs, and know your lyrical structure a bit, which is why I heard you in it too.
I immediately looked up Audimee on the internet. I didn't know it. It looks good/promising, although I did think their harmony examples sounded a bit artificial. I'm going to try it out soon. Thanks for the tip, so to speak!
So, all in all, it is a very beautiful song, Floyd! Including that lady. Can we now expect that only female voices will be heard in your upcoming songs?
Regards,
Hans

We agree with Bob Dean on the Pat Benatar vibe.
Power, passion and attitude that both you and she have are combined beautifully here.
The BiaB session guys have good attitude also.
Those drums pop and solo is excellent.
I can just see the friend looking at Tammy with amazement. Why?
She didn’t realize how lucky she was to have someone love her that well. 😊
It’s such a cool musical project for you and Deb and we can’t wait for the project’s completion.
Way Cool and creative to the max!

Someone mentioned Pat Benatar. Yes, definitely a PB type song. Interesting about Audimee. I can tell it's you singing, the phrasing, the tonal quality, and the way you attack the notes, but so clearly a female voice. I'll have to try it sometime. Good song!

Superlative. In every way. One of your best, for sure. Incredible vocal, the musical and lyrical writing is spectacular. Bravo, Floyd. Thanks, James. Floyd. Great lyric and rocking production.
And yes. I can hear your vocal in it.
Vic Thanks, Vic. Wow, this sounds great Floyd! Love the heavy groove. I'm amazed at the vocal, I can sort of tell it was you but only because I'm listening really closely after reading your notes, I think if you hadn't told us I wouldn't have guessed. Makes me want to try it myself! BIAB lead player is good, but I'm surprised you didn't record your own part, I think your chops are as good as his. Great music as always, Floyd, enjoyed very much. Really appreciate that, Dave. Thanks for the comment on "chops" - the BIAB lead seemed like what I would have played myself, so I saw no reason to swap it out (which I had considered)
