floyd and David, This is great! I love the upbeat music and the upbeat lyrics that ring with honesty. A top notch write by anyone's standards. On top that, floyd's performance is as radio ready as everything he does. In summary... a great mix, a great write, a terrific arrangement and a first class presentation. More please  Regards, Noel

Floyd & David,
Yes, definitely radio-ready as Noel says... I hope the stations out there playing Merle Haggard are listening cos this should be on the playlist.
Nice link to the power lines theme throughout the lyrics and that clap loop picks things up at just the right time.
Very good!
Robert

My favorite of you two collaborations so far. Struck a chord with me from all the years as an insurance adjuster working catastrophe claims. Long hours, lot's of roofs, workin' hard and waitin' to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Cuss it every day but share stories about it for years.
Great song, excellent write, arrangement, production and performance.
Looking to hear more from you guys.

Sensational Floyd and David What an absolutely fantastic vibe you've provided. Great feel-good lyrics, Perfect choice of instruments, Master vocal delivery, harmonies and everything. Classic for sure (except that boss of yours needs to learn a thing or two  ) Thanks again for 'nother great one.

Fantastic! first thing that hit me was how good all the balance and the instrumentation was. Everything fits so smoothly right up to the very last note, really good production, that's just on one listen, maybe I missed something, but I was impressed. The country singer as hero or in a good positive light. I wonder if discussions on the last song inspired anything here? As a writer I have my mental notebook, I think we all have one. I have favorite song ideas that
I've tucked away, especially favorite songs that had occupations mentioned and Jimmy Webb's Lineman For The County came to mind. I always wanted to use that occupation in a song and may still write that some day, not implying anything taken from Webb here at all,
it's just that I couldn't help but think of that song too, which is
probably another good thing about this great collaboration!

Another stellar song and recording. I want to say something about comments that follow Floyd's posts that say "radio ready." If we dialed back 25-30 years I would agree. The swill that passes for country music these days is a travesty. There are SO many great country songs on this board but they don't fit the adolescent pickup truck, get drunk, and chase women genre that sells today. Floyd probably knows better than most of us about Nashville songwriting and the club that it is.
Over and out.

Hi Floyd, (and David, the co-writer) The recording is very successful, I think that you've got a good recording studio at your place. The voice, in particular, is very good. The lyrics are elaborate (for an non-english speaker), I translated them to understand them in full. Have a nice day

Hey Y'all it's about time for church, but I have to brag on Floyd here a little bit before I head out.
Folks have talked about "song form" and such in various forum posts and brought up the question from time to time about "what makes a hit." We have even heard discussion about Ralph Murphy and his "rules."
Well, I am going to ask my songwriting group to meticulously study this song that Floyd put together musically. It made my jaw drop open the first time I heard it. Here is what he did:
1.) He used what is known as the "most popular" form in country hits today which is Verse, PreChorus, Chorus (repeat) Bridge, Chorus. (More than 80 percent of hits have this form.)
("Hundred degrees in Baton Rouge" starts the prechorus.)
2.) Then, and this spun my head around, he pulls out a TRIPLE hook in the chorus.
Hook 1 is "Then I head home..."
Hook 2 is "I may be just a number to the rest of the world.."
Hook 3 is "But I'm...the World's Greatest Husband.." and so forth
At this point, the bases are loaded folks, and the first time I heard him do that brief pause before..
"Round here.." [smack!!!]....
I just grinned from ear to ear. That's what you call the grand slam. He just smacked it into the bleachers. Complete mastery of the song form. All I could say was "D..."
Or as Jerry Reed used to say, God rest his soul, "Son!"
Gotta go to church and get my mouth washed out now. Happy Sunday everybody. Great job Floyd. It's a pleasure working with ya!!

Everything works SO well.

David, thanks for your insightful post. I love reading about the working of the minds of such good writers. I love the inspirational part of writing and then struggle with then organizational part, the structure. I love reading the Pat Pattisons, Robin Fredricks, etc. but only take away so much. I think Floyd loves the mathmatics of writing more than me for sure, setting up these catchy hooks.
Anyway, enjoyable read and fine job on this song.
Kenny

I was very interested that this song was recorded together or completed by exchanging WAV files.
Very enjoyed the listen.

Over and out. LOL... thanks, Fred. I heard an XM station a couple of weeks ago that plays stuff from that time frame (20 - 25 years ago... sometimes hard to believe it's been that...). It was an incredible era for Country songwriting (and production/sound). It seems a shame that the current sound seems to have "wiped that out". It would be nice if there were room for both. I don't mind that "new Country" exists for those who want it (the kids, mainly), but it's a shame that old-guy-Country is so difficult to find. If you search for it, it does still exist - perhaps, one day, it will re-emerge...

Kenny An interesting observation, Kenny... although, I have to say, I'm not sure "mathematics" is the right term. It's a "sound" thing. I often use the phrase "how it falls on the ear". That's what matters most. And eliminating any "bumps" - which come in many different forms - most notably, too-many-syllables and awkward-wording... the singing of the words must not draw attention to themselves....

Wanna be schooled in lyric writing? Sit back with your beverage of choice, listen to this a few time and then just read the lyric several times. I did that. And then I stared out the window and contemplated the subtleties at work here. And then I thought about how many great lyrics from these two guys have been posted here. And then I looked at the song I'm working on and got mildly depressed. And then I thought again about this song and the rarity nowadays of a standout lyric built around a positive message of family and honest labor. And then I was happy. Oh, and of course there's the getting easy to take for granted fine vocal, arrangment and production.... J&B

floyd and David, Being a good husband and father is it's own reward but every once in a while it's good to hear someone say it. This is a great theme to have built the song around. The super lyrics are complimented with some fine vocals and production. A standout for sure. Tom

Shigeki Adachi Shegeki - thanks! For this one, there was no exchange of WAV files... I did the recording - All the instrument tracks came from BIAB. I did all the harmonies (and the lead vocal). Often, Janice will add some harmony for me - those are most often sent as a mp3 file. We could do a transfer of a WAV file via dropbox, but I do not believe the difference would be noticeable in a full mix...

I want to says thanks to everyone who has posted such kind comments on this song. I won't go to individual replies, because I don't want to clog up the board here, but I thank each and every one of you! You all know who you are!! Also, some mention has been made of the art work and "crafting" of the lyrics here, and I have to same something about the forum, even if I sound like a broken record. This forum is my learning place. I carefully study the songs and lyrics of many of the people who have posted here and have learned so much from all you people over the past 2 and half years I guess it has been. When I first started, I think I lot of my early songs were pretty bad, but I have received some valuable feedback, and what I have learned on this forum has helped me tremendously. It is also a great "safe space" to test out wildly experimental ideas with extremely open minded people who have no hidden agenda, or weird competitiveness--just nice people and great artists sharing with one another. This has really been great for my creativity, because it has encouraged me to step out of the box, instead of being in a state of fear and conformity and writing inside of the box in a vain effort to please those people who will never be pleased in the first place, because they are not interested in "real music"--and have no idea what real music is. So, once again, thanks to everyone on the forum. This community continues to inspire me and teach me and I am very happy to be a part of it.

Wanna be schooled in lyric writing? Sit back with your beverage of choice, listen to this a few time and then just read the lyric several times. I did that. And then I stared out the window and contemplated the subtleties at work here. And then I thought about how many great lyrics from these two guys have been posted here. And then I looked at the song I'm working on and got mildly depressed. And then I thought again about this song and the rarity nowadays of a standout lyric built around a positive message of family and honest labor. And then I was happy. Oh, and of course there's the getting easy to take for granted fine vocal, arrangment and production.... J&B You're too nice. floyd and David, Being a good husband and father is it's own reward but every once in a while it's good to hear someone say it. This is a great theme to have built the song around. The super lyrics are complimented with some fine vocals and production. A standout for sure. Tom We appreciate that, Tom...

Any time I see a post of a Floyd Jane song, I know I'mg going to be in for a real treat. For that matter, I can say the same about David. This makes for a double treat! Extremely well done (that's no surprise), and tells a great story, full of truth.
I'm not surprised by any of the great things I can say about this, because frankly, I've come to expect this level from you. But I sure enjoyed it, like I expected to.
So glad I got to hear this!

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!

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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."
