Great tune. Happy birthday as well. Everyone has already said all my thoughts about the song. So, I'm left with agreeing with them.
I am impressed with the choir though.... and the explanation of their creation.

Floyd, Tom, Janice
Beautifully done. You must be very pleased with how that came out!
Great mix - wonderful guitar - gorgeous backing vocal (nice piano) and a really powerful lead vocal.
Superb.
Thanks, Peter. I really like what Tom did for the song - his guitar work really help lift the chorus and the leads were just what I was hoping for. And adding Janice to the choruses is a no-brainer - it is becoming a "signature sound"... Thanks for listening...

Happy birthday to both of you Floyd and Tom
Great way to celebrate it with this super song.
Hey Floyd, I'm not on the site since a long time, but...How many songs have you
composed? You're very creative and the songs are very nice for the most part.
Sergio
Thanks, Sergio... I have no idea how many total songs I've ever written. I've got them all over the place. I've posted 80+ here on the forum. I've got a whole lot more than that. I've thrown away probably twice that many through time... lost a bunch along the way, too. Dozens that I do not own the publishing to... it's a lifetime pursuit....

More genius from Floyd, Janice, & Tom.
Another absolutely sensational delivery, not a weak link anywhere.
First class lyrics, guitar playing, vocals.
Trev - always appreciate you stopping by... and we appreciate the nice comments...

This is great work guys!
The intro of the song, and the song in general has sort of a Garth Brooks feel to it.
(Of which I'm a big fan!)
Rob Thanks, Rob. Certainly don't mind a Garth feel comparison...

One of your best lyric writes with a great chorus.
The choir "ahs" I found a bit loud and distracting, I get what you're doing - just not my personal thang for a country song...creative choice...no big deal.
Other than that I love everything about this - one of your best songs IMO and you sound great on it.
Kudos to Janice and Tom too.
Great job.

Happy birthday Tom and Floyd. I think I will keep this one as a birthday present to myself! Wonderful wonderful stuff. Thanks, Joanne... Great tune. Happy birthday as well. Everyone has already said all my thoughts about the song. So, I'm left with agreeing with them.
I am impressed with the choir though.... and the explanation of their creation.
Thanks, Charlie. Generally, "choir aahs" like this are intended to serve the same purpose that "lush strings" would - so it makes sense to use the Strings MIDI Supertracks as the template for that... I did a little editing to make the choir finish where I wanted it to (on a high note) and then extend that note out some. The strings midi saves a lot of work - and goes where it is supposed to...

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
