Just another heartbreak song...

Janice Merritt helps out with harmonies.


BREAKING YET

that book you never finished
is on the night stand by the bed
fragments of our last conversation
still swirl inside my head

there's so much about you
i still miss
like that little half smile you'd get
as you leaned in for a kiss
   
   moment by moment
   i'm drowning in regret
   slowly suffocating
   my heart is breaking yet

in a million little pieces
but it won't let go
still hoping you'll reconsider
and walk back through that door
   
   moment by moment...

i know it's foolish
but i call your number one more time
again, i get that message
the only words that i can find are...
   
   moment by moment...
.

Thanks for listening.

Have at it.

A new release from you is a lot like eating at a five star restaurant and getting a generous portion of the establishment's signature meal. Here's another fine offering of top arrangement, production, composition and performance from Floyd.

Charlie

Yes, what Charlie said. Exactly.

You have a really fine style that is always recognizable as your own. Expectations are always met and the ear is always pleased, the heart engaged.

FJ + Janice
Powerful slower tempo song. Excellent, deep vocals and smooth harmonies. Ace work on the drums (I assume these are the loops?) and overall production is a very PRO level. Solid collaboration. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Floyd,
the delivery of
"i still miss"
says it all for me.
You know when & how.
Excellent mic technique doesn't go astray either.
Janice's harmonies with you have that sibling thing.

This is a great track Floyd.
Lyrically, musically, vocally and production-wise it's top-notch. The harmony with Janice is great too.
Love that baritone guitar RealTrack.
Cheers,
Mike

Floyd / Janice,

Great, great song... A beautifully constructed and produced track.

You two bring it home every time.

Loved it!

Bob

Really nice work. Excellent job on the writing, singing, recording, and mix.

What's not to like about one of your songs? You generally check all the right boxes and this one is no exception to that rule.

Quite an enjoyable listen.

Thank you for mentioning my small part in this lovely production!

Janice

What a great use of a great hook! Fantastic vocals to match!

Hi Floyd & Janice

Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Thanks, Floyd and Janice. "Beautiful heartbreak" is no longer an oxymoron, but an apt description of the magic you guys bring out with this song. Floyd you check all of the boxes in writing, producing and presenting such fine quality. I'm really looking forward to an 8-hour driving trip alone tomorrow. You'll both be with me to shorten the distance and make the inevitable road delays bearable. Stopped in traffic, I'll roll down the window and won't be surprise if many will leave their cars and dance to the music.

Nice of you to say, Charlie. Much appreciated...

So FJ, there is certainly a common theme in your music. Will that broken heart ever heal?

Ray, I couldn't agree with you more about floyd, or as I often call him, "big brother." From the very first time that I sang harmony with him years ago I knew I'd found my brother in music. Every time I'd play one of those harmony songs for my Mama she would say, "he sounds like one of us, doesn't he?"

His phrasing is just plain perfect too!

Thanks,

Janice

Floyd....Wow! what a great piece of music...I think this is my favorite song of yours I've heard and that's saying a lot...the lyrics are exquisite and the delivery and vocals are so good! your use of BiaB is flawless...this is so pro sounding and I hope it finds it's way to some producer somewhere...this is the quality of song and type of production that most of us aim for but haven't hit yet...bullseye!

Wow, I felt that one!

Beautiful composition and very well sung (love the harmonies!).

Rob

floyd

Simply beautiful. A great production and as usual you and Janice harmonize perfectly and sound great together.

The mix is superb as the backing.

Wonderful song.

Peter

Lovely song Floyd. Loved the backing track. Beautiful vocal and lyric. Janice's harmonies were excellent as well. +1 what Rob said. Really felt the emotion of the song..

Thank you Mike!

Janice

Thanks, David!!!




Much appreciated, Misha....

Excellent, floyd!

Man, that vocal ... sublime. Love it when Janice comes in too, such a great blend of voices!

Just a beautiful song with top notch production and pro quality mix. As all your songs are!

Thanks y’all for the vocal comments!

Janice

Hi Floyd,

I enjoyed your heartbraking song a lot! And I read all the posts on it and can only admit what was written.
You are at your very, very best with these heartbraking themes. Like it's your own personal experience.
You are -to me- a master on these kind of lyrics.
Nothing I just wrote is new to you. I wrote most of it before (except that 'master' thing)...

I almost forgot to mention how I liked the chorusses and harmonies with Janice. They sound so powerfull. A golden choice!

I conclude, quoting a comment from Dave: Top notch!

Hans

Thanks, ray....




Thanks, Mike....

Floyd
You make hurting sound real and beautiful; this is another fine write with excellent vocals ( lovely harmonies, Janice!) and impeccable production values.
Very very good.

Robert

Appreciate that, Bob....




Thanks, Herb!!...

Beautiful song Floyd! Great title! Perfect backing on every instrument! Really liked the piano sound! Janice really knows how to compliment your lead vocal...sitting perfectly in there without overpowering you! Another FJ classic!

Thanks, Torrey

STANDING OVATION, and I'm only at the first chorus, so far (as I type). WOW.

Janice is the icing on the cake.

BRAVI, BRAVI, BRAVI. You ought to frame this one. One of your very best, without question. Glad I stopped by to listen.

Hi FloyD the Dynamics are very powerful in this. as well as the vocals and writing and mix its very memorable loved it. thanks for sharing Eric

Thanks, Dewey....




Thanks, Andi...

Janice - As always...a HUGE "thank you" for being my musical sister!!!
(and Bud, thanks for helping out...)

A fine example of lyric writing: saying what needs to be said with no extraneous verbiage. Beautifully produced and performed. Nice one!

Thanks for mentioning the harmony. I think I might have been a small layer in the cake!

Janice

Gosh, Floyd. This sure has a wonderful sound. Good writing and well sung by both you and Janice. Overall sound though is fantastic. Very professional sound to it and really like you ended it.

Thank you!

Janice

Hi, Floyd !

I hope you´ll never break !
This is a most fantastic tune

be one of your absolute best
at least for me !
