Hi Floyd
What a great song
Reminded me of John Waite - Figure In A Landscape at the beginning.
Everything is just right here...
Vocals, band, sound and melody
In Germany we say "Das ist großes Kino - This is great cinema"
Perfect work Floyd
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Floyd, beautiful song, beautifully performed. Solid vocals and piano. Loved the harmony, too. I can tell that a song is really, really good when the last chord plays and I can't believe it's over already: It just pulls you in and you don't want it to let go. Well done!

I once wrote a song called Master of the Game. It wasn't about Floyd, but with that title, it easily could have been!!!! If I heard this song on the radio, I would guess maybe it was written by Jimmy Webb......few writers I've ever heard (Jimmy and Floyd among those on a very small and special list) can take something apparently mundane (A lineman for the county, or closet space) and make it SOOOOO Beautiful and Touching!!!!! It is truly a special gift!!!!! This is one of the loveliest songs I've heard in many years!!!! Take a bow my friend!!!!! Take care. Greg
P.S. The arrangement and vocal really deliver!!!

Well, gee... With few "simple" piano RTs in the 2024 edition, we'll have to put up with a year of your piano playing.  Gentle intro, sad and wistful lyrics. Instrumentation is great, but never gets in the way of the vocal. Nicely sung - wistful, sad and gently tugs at the heartstrings.

Gorgeous love song and I love the instrumentation.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#17: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#69: Bring consciousness to it.
#74: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#105: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Hi Floyd,
Very impressed with your piano playing on your last couple of songs! Just the perfect part for the song.
Excellent song, great writing, and as always a superb, heartfelt vocal.
Band sounds great, especially liked the sax.

Oh, so good. You should see my smile. It says all the ineffable things I'd like to tell you, Floyd. You have definitely become one of favorite humans. Strong piano, and all of the usual magic that you put together to make the bar so unreachable, yet beautifully inspirational.

You’re such a good writer. Singer, producer, guitarist and now pianist, the list continues to grow. Pat Marr told me you are also a talented chef. And I have heard not to bet with you on the golf course. You chase excellence like a man possessed. I kept seeing an image of Graham Nash singing this to Joni Michell in Laurel Canyon. Maybe she wouldn’t have dumped him. You are a master at these beginning or ending relationship songs. Well done in every way and worthy of many listens, Tom

Floyd,
To start off the piano playing is excellent and shows me you can do whatever you want to musically!
It's a lovely country ballad with a sweet melancholy vibe! Just the right touch with the sax solo...the room reverb? sounds just right to me!
Vocal is perfect again!
Of all of us here on the forum I feel your work should have a huge spotlight on it...on a national stage! Somebody's going to make you famous someday!
Take care, TB

I echo all the comments about your piano playing!
Beautiful and passionate love song.
I love the chorus hook:
"and the most i'll have to offer
is my heart
and some closet space"
That's gold.

Floyd, this is the best sad love song I have heard in a long time.
Outstanding vocal.
You picked the perfect backing band to set the mood!
You piano was also outstanding.
Everything about this was professional.
Loved it.
I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

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."
