I like this.
The American way of talking really lends itself to songs because in my town the title would be "There's a traffic light on Prince of Wales drive" which sounds ludicrous as a song title. laugh

I enjoyed that with the door open, volume at 11 etc

you excelled yourself this time

Next time I see Neil, I might deck him...steal my style will he?...

I'm pretty sure a gibsonated "There's a traffic light on Prince of Wales drive" is a masterpiece just waiting to happen.

Don't get much better than this! Astounding piano sound. Fantastic write and vocal. One of my favorites from you. Fantastic use of your favorite real tracks. I can guarantee you that I will be giving this one multiple listens. The rest of the world simply turns off when listening to this. Super, Tom

I love the piano part and the other RT's have a nice synergism that just works. Excellent vocal (as usual) and mix.

A good job of songwriting! I thought the bridge part at the end:

"that was a lifetime ago sometimes I think of you
I wonder do you wonder about me, too..."

...Was damn tasty! cool

A fine job!

Greg


Greg - thanks... the bridge is a favorite of mine - so I appreciate you pointing that out...

Definitely your best ballad so far. And definitely one of the best songs posted on the forum ever.
Terrific atmosphere, and beautifully (controlled) vocal.
The interaction between the piano and guitar is very professional.

Rob & Anne-Marie


Rob and Anne-Marie - thanks so much for that. There are SO many good songs posted to this forum (all of yours included), to call this "one of the best (ever)" I take as a HUGE compliment...

Excellent. The use of the various RTs or MIDI super tracks is outstanding. Touching lyrics and very nice vocal. Just outstanding over all.

Thanks Floyd for your continuing genius delivery.

Another feather.


Trevor - thanks for stopping by for a listen... and for such a nice review..

I grew up in a town so small the main street wasn't big enough to have a red light to separate north main from south main. But I still get it...

The song did invoke memories of a fellow several years ago telling me "weren't" isn't a 'real' word. You showed em'.

Enjoyed my listen.

Charlie


Thanks, Charlie... This is a true story... we really did sit on the porch swing late at night, watching the light change - with no traffic, long into the night...

love never more than a handy word"

Lyrics do not get much better than that...

Bob


Bob solved our problem on which of so many fine lines to quote -- that'll work.

We were grabbed from the get-go. That super midi piano is terrific. It filled up our room like we were sitting next to it. And the strings are terrific.

The way both the strings and piano support your outstanding vocal is amazing. It feels like the entire instrumental grouping was brought into the studio to support your write and vocal. The attention to detail in selecting and mixing RT's to work in that manner is a hallmark of your productions and one we never take for granted.

Lovely!

J&B

PS "there's a stoplight on north main street
that keeps changing it's mind" Now that will stick with you.


Thanks, guys... you are most kind...

This is a lovely bittersweet reflective song about the past we miss and long for, and the only thing more emotionally powerful than that period of young innocence is the intensity of the emotion with which we long for it. This is so wonderfully written, it would make Jimmy Webb jealous. If I ever get a record deal (don't hold your breath), this song is going on my first album, maybe as the title track. Absolutely WONDERFUL Floyd!!! Take care. Greg


Greg - this might be my all-time-favorite review... (heck... no "might" about it!)
