Wrote this with Scott Whitehead. Scott was half of the duo "Hometown News". They had a couple of releases and charted a couple of singles before their record company went the way of so many others... THIS OLD HEART this old heart is a little bit used it's been around the block a time or two but it's not ready to be sold for parts there's still a lot of loving left in this old heart i've made mistakes and i've seen my share of broken promises and bad affairs but that won't stop me trying to hit the mark there's still a lot of loving left in this old heart take a chance, you'd be surprised at all that you might find there are nooks and crannies that have never been touched deep in this heart of mine it might be rusted, but it ain't busted might miss a beat or two at the start but there's still a lot of loving left in this old heart it runs pretty strong and it never gives up it wants to belong to one true love keeps telling me forever is not too far there's still a lot of loving left in this old heart take a chance, you'd be surprised at all that you might find there are nooks and crannies that have never been touched deep in this heart of mine it might be rusted, but it ain't busted might miss a beat or two at the start but there's still a lot of loving left in this old heart this old heart is a little bit used it's been around the block a time or two but it's not ready to be sold for parts there's still a lot of loving left in this old heart ... and the band...

Hi Floyd. This is a solid write and excellent production. You're able to always get it right. I enjoyed the two videos of Hometown News. Been on the Enterprise in Charleston several times.
Regards,
Charlie

Hi Floyd.
You've got a really good groove going here!
The backing's really punchy and snappy and the guitar riff is spot on. Nice country lyric and your usual superb vocal delivery. Production and mix is well up to your traditional high standard.
Wasn't sure whether to count this in 2/4 or 4/4, or a mixture of the two, but either way the bar count in places was unusual, though always in a nice way.
Are you still working on that rock ballad, or have I missed it whilst I've been away?
ROG.

I just love the chord progression, the melody and your phrasing here.
And the lyrics are tight, not a wasted word to be found.
Great song!
What is the chord progression?

Hi Floyd,
as Greg said: Great combination of fun and depth!!
The backing is perfect.
And your vocals and harmonies are top notch as always.
The second video is not available in Germany.
But I enjoyed the first.

floyd, That's a really tight write. No fat there. I love the recurring guitar lick. Nice job editing that in there. This has a catchy groove that grabs you from the very start. Once again a great vocal. The lack of reverb makes the mix crisp and in your face, perfect for the song. Please tell your wife I said you are such a perfectionist you must be hell to live with. Great job all around. Love the sound of that popping tele. Tom

Are you still working on that rock ballad, or have I missed it whilst I've been away? ROG. ROG - Thanks! It's 4/4..there are a couple of spots where I have 2 beat measures - a feel thing - since Lawrence asked about the chord progression, I will add a link to the SGU for anyone interested (have to go find it). Re: that rock ballad... give me a couple of examples of what you are thinking - and I'll see what I can do...

Great song!
What is the chord progression? Lawrence - Appreciate all that!.. let's see if we can figure out how to get this in here.... -- the C at 12, 24, 52 are 2 beat measures -- I generally play this in a G, but dropped it to F 'cause someone was complaining about getting old... the SGU is at the bottom - so it can be transposed...   Here is the SGU if anyone would like to try it out... THIS OLD HEART SGU That is a zip file of the SGU - which should prompt you to save it somewhere...

I hope you are still singing

Great job all around. Love the sound of that popping tele. Tom Tom - always glad to catch your ear. So very glad you noticed the recurring guitar lick (of course, ROG caught it, too). That was, in fact, my main intent with this when I started - to find a "signature lick" from what BIAB presented and exploit it throughout the song... someone had been bemoaning the fact that you did not get such things using BIAB - and I wanted to show that wasn't true... That popping tele works so well for these type songs - surprised that people don't use it more... My wife would likely say... "Perfectionist??? OMG!! He's a slob!!!"

I must definitely agree with the snapping Tele. It grabbed my attention instantly.
May I share it with Graham Wilson in hopes of getting you some airplay on Sounds Of Scotland? He's several months behind in auditioning submissions but at least you'll be in the queue.
Great work, as usual, Floyd. Thanks for sharing.
