Floyd (and David, and Janice),
All I can say is WOW, this is good! You captured the pain, and emotions that go in this write so well. The arrangement is perfect for it (as I would expect from Floyd). I didn't hear the original submission of this song, so I don't know what to compare it to, but this is just supurb.
Another hit!

Fine words from David, some great lines in this song. I love the arrangement. All the vocals are top notch, the emotions perfectly delivered. I know I'm more interested in the life is hard, life lessons learned or not learned along the way type of song instead of white hat rides off into the sunset again. The hero is cool but most of us get knocked down every now and then.
Kenny
Kenny - we appreciate your perspective on this... Nothing missing Floyd. I meant it is ready to go to the next level. It's gone through several re-writes and arrangements to the point in is a commercially viable product in my opinion.
Didn't mean to scare you < embarrassed grin >
Oh!  Love it. Reminds me of Willie Nelson's "The Family Bible". Great collaboration guys. Floyd you really are amazing how you encourage and collaborate with all the folk on this forum. Makes it feel like one big friendly place! Joanne - thanks for stopping by! (as I recall, you were on of the first people I worked with...) I'm a big fan of David's stuff. That said, this was not one of the songs that really grabbed me in its original form. But the golden ears of Floyd Jane heard some potential that I didn't, and what a transformation!! This is incredibly good!! They say that great sculptors can see the art within the original block of stone. This song was meant to be country, and to present serious reflection. I think the final result is awesome. The write, arrangement, and vocal (maybe my favorite FJ ever) really deliver. My hat is off to both of you for a great collab!! Take care. Greg Thanks for that nice review, Greg... Hey Floyd, thanks for your long and considered response. Really I was wondering how Murphy's advice is regarded today and you've given me and others keen insight from someone close to the action. Thank you!
Your points about Country Radio are spot on and my own analysis of the genre confirms that it is a niche area albeit for a mass and lucrative market. It's not a genre I enjoy so I won't be attempting to go there. But as you say it's good to know what it is as part of ongoing craftsmanship. Matcham - thanks again for stopping by...

Hey y'all
Listening to how the song progressed through the versions was fascinating. As enjoyable as they all were we think it really landed in a wonderful place with the more "country" twist and the final lyric. We completely agree with Tom that this might be one of your best vocals. The phrasing, nuances, timbre, etc., of your voice are off the chart for interpreting the arrangement.
Janice is proud to have made a small addition to the fine production.
Wonderful collab you two and REALLY a great listen. And the acoustic - yeah man!
J&B

floyd and David,
Like a number of people before me, I have also listened to each new version of this song that has entered the forum. This particular creation is the one that appeals to me most. It's a very tight write and is arranged and mixed with flair. It really is excellent.
floyd, I agree with those who have drawn attention to your performance. Your vocals shine on this!
All the best,
Noel

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."
