floyd, This is exceptional. I was enthralled as I listened... so much quality everywhere! The effects, the harmony, the words, the melody, your performance, the arrangement, the production....  All the ear candy that you've incorporated into this production makes for a fantastic ride. As I'm typing this, I'm sitting here thinking, "Is this floyd's best? His songs are always brilliant but this one really grabs me. Is it his best? I really don't know. Right at this moment, it is, for sure." This reminded me of "The Gambler" in that the lyrics presented a very engaging narrative with a powerful message threaded through the them. A wonderful listen in every way possible. Regards, Noel

Noel said it much better than I could. Floyd you always sound professional but this one is really exceptional. Your vocals (loved those soft delays!), lyrics and one hell of a backing track.
This is one of your best if not your best to date.

Floyd,
Love the drama in the music. There's perfect prosody between music and lyric. I'm enjoying some these "outta the box" tunes you've posted lately - really, really good stuff. This one has a ton a of dynamic tension throughout - it's near impossible to not listen all the way through.
I'm not sure what the level above "excellent: is called, but this certainly earned its way there. Really really super.
Alan

Looking forward to the movie this is the theme song to!
Some amazing touches and attention to detail, along with a terrific composition.
Fantastic a real treat.

Hi Floyd,
Professional as ever, this fabulous song paints pictures as I listen.
Entertaining and thought provoking at the same time.
Lots of messages here, all wrapped up in an excellent package.
Faultless mix.
ROG.

A very dramatic song with wonderful production details- particularly the EDM touches.
Loved everything about this!

This an incredible tune Floyd. I think this has to be my favorite vocal of yours.
The guitar in the background was very cool. Cool tone. I was listening on the headphones and was trying to isolate the different things you had going on. Your mix blows me away. What was really cool was the kick drum. Very neat how you did that.
Super song Floyd...

WOW!! Definitely one of your best, my new favorite hands down. Excellent song, superb vocal, but man, the production and mix!! Possibly the best I have heard here on the forum, so many things going on and such attention to detail. You have set the bar very high indeed and give the rest of us mortals something to strive toward  Just top notch in every way, thoroughly enjoyed.

real nice song with great vocals, you do the cowboy style effortlessly.
As was said in previous post, I could see this being the track played when the credits roll by at the end of an old western.

Country-EDM-Spaghetti-Western...my favorite genre.
I was trying to figure out if it was notes 1 and 2 that grabbed me; or if you already had me on the first note. I think maybe right at the first note. Either way, you really had me. You VERY effectively set the tone of the song immediately.
What a cool song. Man, I know I say this; but I'm big on atmosphere. Every single element is there to create it. From the lyric, to the performance, to all of the various things you did to support it. So interesting.
I am a big fan of ear candy. I had no idea you opened an ear candy shop.

What a tune! It is so powerful, and has an epic feeling to it. I'm a sucker for the spaghetti western sort of style, and this nailed it while also providing a modern twist to it. Those harmonies on the chorus as so gigantic and luscious - it drew me in instantly. You really did a great job here - thanks so much for sharing

Hey Floyd,
I really loved the atmospheric feel you conjured up in this, and the loops were a nice addition.
It did seems like a mini movie, very visual--a song movie with a built in soundtrack. Cool stuff.
The lyrics are among your very best. Very cinematic. Great job man.

Wow. To be honest, I saw the lyrics, and thought "A corny Western song?" And then I hit the play button and it sucked me right in.  One of the biggest problems that I have in songwriting is thinking that I've got to say something new. This shows that the real trick is to tell it well. And this song does it in spades. Great storytelling, cool stereo effects that really add to the atmosphere, super effective return to the opening line. Evocative descriptions, emotional. Wow.
