You're a real class act, you two. Such a full yet open sound throughout. Drums, guitar, vocals... all really really top notch.

Fun song. Well written, arranged, mixed and produced.
The vocals are stellar together - A match made in country. They play off each other like you two have worked together every day for years.
Enjoyed my listen.

Great duet, y'all loved everything about it. Really solid song. Excellent vocals.
Thanks, David. It is hard to keep up with you these days... you are a machine.. so every single day you'll find a fresh rose waiting
or love notes on the seat of your car
every single day... i'll try to win your heart
I LOVE THAT!!! What a great way to end a chorus-lyrically and melodically so full of impact. This is such a positive, feelgood song. I always enjoy this kind of duet and this one does it right. The melody just takes off at the beginning of the chorus and the harmonies are so sweet. And, of course, Janice nails her part. This is simply a GREAT song!! Well done guys!! Take care. Greg Greg - it is always nice to read your thoughts - you are an incredible song man in every regard... which makes this especially nice... Isn't Janice amazing???

Floyd & Janice,
Lots of skill in that one - beautiful phrasing and harmonizing - you make it sound so easy.
Great mix with a really professional sound, you sound like you're in the same room singing(Janice nicely recorded by Bud), good set of lyrics and strong catchy chorus melody.
Very nice indeed.
Peter Peter- thanks for the very nice comments, and for your continued support... You and Leon are doing some good stuff, too...

Sweet and uplifting. And I love sweet and uplifting.
You both sound super. Love the stops. Love the guitars - the arrangement is great. Really nice work on those drums.
Personally I like a little more bass but that's just me.
Great job.

Hi Janice & Floyd.
Great song, Floyd, with everything working together, just as it should. Perfect.
Janice, what can I say? When you sing in that register it gives me goosebumps.
A fabulous performance, you two - just SO professional throughout.
Must listen again...
ROG.
ROG - glad you came by for a listen... about time to hear another from you!... Floyd & Janice,
Your voices sound so good together (I had to read the intro again to see that you weren`t in the same room together).
Making this very good song a duet raises it to another level- I`m curious if you wrote it with that in mind?
A highly professional production throughout as usual.
Robert Thanks, Robert - appreciate that - good to know that the sound is cohesive...

Another awesome collaboration. Vocals were excellent
Thanks, Scott... Hi Floyd and Janice, A song with a commercial potential  This shows in the song structure, the bridge, and especially the choruses, which sound like typical commercial pop country. And by "commercial" we mean GOOD! I love hearing that!!!

A great write AGAIN. Some great performances AGAIN. The three of you have standards that are so high that you never disappoint. I really liked the tight, locked in harmony. That's how it should be done. I also agree with Josie a little more bass would be nice. This is a fine example of songwriting, vocal performance and mastery of production. Some high skill level on display. Tom

Floyd / Janice,
Excellent! Love the blend of your voices as well as the individual parts. Great song and mix as well. Loved it!
Bob Thanks, Bob. We appreciate that... Floyd and Janice,
What a great uplifting duet. Your voices blend so perfectly together.
Bud also did a great job on Janice's vocal.
All rounded off with a perfectly recorded RT band. Especially love the solid drum sound.
What's not to love about this.
Excellent work,
Jez
Thanks, Jez. I do love singing duets with Mrs. Merritt...
