FJ,
Classic Country! Ace lyrics / phrasing and vocals. You are one of few singers, that I don't have to follow written lyrics smile
Solid bed and clear mix. Listens very well. No complains. Thank you for sharing.

As B.D. says, it feels effortless. It tells a story well, with a nice payoff line.

Top notch, as usual. laugh


Thanks, David.

Floyd,

Terrific country tune . . . skillfully sung, arranged and produced. Love the touch on the harmonies/BGVs . . . perfectly balanced. But, as excellent as every aspect of this is, it’s the write that slays on this one. Masterfully written! Excellent listen!

All my best to you,

Deej

Excellent opening with the pedal. The whole band is just perfect and perfectly placed in the masterful mix. Love the build to the chorus. Every one of your songs starts with a great idea --something that needs to be said (even if it was said before, no one says it as well as you do), then you develop it around a catchy hook to grab your listener, and keep it superbly stocked with fine musicians. The cherry on top is your radio-ready & relatable voice. Always a pleasure, Floyd.


Enjoy whatever happens!

LOVE the harmonies.
Really cool arrangement and the drums drive the tune to keep the positivity.
The dynamics you incorporated work a treat.
I'm pleased I was able to hear this after a day of wondering.
Top shelf.


ray - thanks for coming back for another try...

Lovely song, so well written as per usual, and your voice is perfect for this type of material. Love the harmonies!

I like the little double shot at 1:46, you used the microchord feature I guess?

Nice one, enjoyed.


Thanks, Dave. This was produced LONG before the microchords were available. I just copied and pasted the shot to get the doublr shot....

Nice traditional country music. The low end was kinda lite but that doesn't matter since it's a case of personal taste.

I especially enjoyed the way you built the chorus. Nice job on the phrasing.


Thanks, Herb...

Skillful lyrics with a universal theme.

Appealing melody that lends itself to hearing the song over and over again.

Nice one!

What Chord Structure did you use on this one. I love it.


Music is an expression that is a universal language, Never criticize anybody to harshly. They need time to grow but when they do, they do. Always be kind in what you say and do because the man upstairs is watching.

Yep ... just like my radio dialed itself back to 1979, and George Strait released a new one. I thought the bass line could have been upped just a bit. Regardless, it was a great listen. As is everyone else, I'm always in awe of how casual and effortless your songs always sound.

You never disappoint ...

“love that's true and sure
is worth waiting for"

We both agree. smile

You’re a master of the two verses and a chorus write as this song shows.
And it is so good to hear some traditional country music.

Ace vocals, band and mix, mr jane!

Hey Floyd! Just wanted to say that I listened to your new song and it's seriously amazing! It's got all the right elements to make it a hit on the radio. Honestly, it's just as good as anything I hear on country radio these days and I could totally see other artists grabbing this for themselves.

Your lyrics are super relatable and the tune is catchy - I can't stop humming it! Your vocals, production, and mix are all top-notch as usual.
I really love all the internal rhymes and harmonies you've got going on in there. Overall, it's a solid and nostalgic country tune with some seriously skillful lyrics and a universal relatable theme.

It's so great to see you back with new material and this song definitely does not disappoint. Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

(This review was written by AI based off of all of the comments people made up to this point. I'm not sure if this would be considered our first AI review?)

Seriously though, great song in EVERY aspect my friend.
-Chad

That is a proper Floyd production. It's a gem.
I enjoyed my multiple listens.

James - you are quite kind. Thanks.

Another radio ready song.

Loved it.

Floyd,

This harkens back to the Country music I last enjoyed in the 80's! That's not a knock in any way! That's a fresh sound again to my ears! Love the tempo, fits the phrasing of the lines so well! I enjoyed how well you worked that pedal steel in there without anything sounding "off". I always struggle with that! The vocal is great as are the tight harmonies! You prove with every post that you are at the top of the mountain around here and have the chops to be a major Country star, and that's a fact!

Thanks, TB

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
