Another superb song. You and Janice work so well together. I looked at the band and there's a lot of real tracks but the sound is so sparse , and pure . amazing how you do it . Thanks Fj for sharing

I was just listening to song... Following the lyrics... Suddenly I heard the harmony and said... That sounds like Janice... That's what I get for not reading before I listen ... Another great song... Another set of well-crafted lyrics... And of course... Janice's beautiful voice to accompany you own strong vocals... I enjoyed it!

A lovely song and excellent BVox.
Succinct arrangement and band choices.
Lovely.
The two things that came straight to mind were the brevity of the intro - no issue just struck me - and the amount of room in the mic when you back away to go loud n high.
Cheers

All good things come to those that wait, I believe is the saying! So it seems fitting some things take time.
Great use of RealTracks. Thanks for sharing!

Floyd,
Really nice write—terrific collection of images that reinforce your theme. Fine vocal and your usual exemplary production. Well done! Good luck with it!
All the best,

Great title! Well sung, nice harmonies, excellent write.  While the title - and lyrics - pretty much telegraph where the song is going, you hold off "You and me" until the end, which makes it all the stronger because of the wait. One thing I love about your mixes is the clarity - there's no need to guess at any of the words. There's not more to the arrangement than there needs to be, so it's got a wonderful transparency.

Excellent set of lyrics and completely expected a pro production. Clear and crisp vocals and a nice build up.
And when Janice comes in - well you two sound just great together.
Top notch.

Hi Floyd,
Simply professional throughout, as usual, but it's only what I've come to expect from you.
Although I like your "heavier" side, I did enjoy this immensely and just got lost in the
smoothness and the wonderfully relaxed vocal. It always helps having Janice in there of course.
A super arrangement and I DID love the cymbal fade right at the end of the track - nice attention to detail, that.
Cheers, ROG.

Nice writing! And great vocal too, I like the way you phrase. And a big tip of the hat to Janice too of course Your productions and mixes are always such a pleasure to listen to, lot's to learn from studying them. They way you slowly build the first verse with just the acoustic, and then bringing in the kick ... great! And then that little cymbal hit at the end, I love hearing stuff like that. Excellent!

Hi Floyd and of course hi Janice,
these lyrics caught me completely - I think everybody listening to that song will immediately think of something or someone those words could apply to.
And I experienced the same as Jim: I was sort of sunk in listening and reading the lyrics - all of a sudden there was Janice falling in with her beautiful harminies - oh boy, no matter how often I hear her - it's always a treat. And your two voices really go together so well...
Nicely arranged, of course brilliantly-sung, too. And I have to mention the lyrics again: a well-chosen subject (which I have never heard being sung about) oiled down to an essence, Very impressive.
Oh yes: sound, mix and everything technical: top-notch. Like always....
Cheers,
Stefan

You really did a great job on this one The lyrics are poignant and relatable, and the harmonies on this help them hit all the harder. That aside, I loved the instrumentation and thought the mix was top notch also. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,

Hey Floyd,
Man these are some of my favorite lyrics from you! They are really awesome. Just genius really.
I like the music and production, too, but from a lyrical standpoint this is magnificent. Love it man.

Floyd,
"broken in
knocked about
worn razor thin
but not worn out"
Love that, and all the finely drawn images that let you know the experience behind the message.
I don`t listen to much country but a good write sticks... listening to your first verse I flashed back to Guy Clarke`s "Stuff That Works"- this is up there with that craftsman.
I agree with all the good stuff others have noted about your vocals,Janice`s harmonies, the arrangement and production values.
Robert

Hi Janice & Floyd ...
Such minimal background yet so full. Takes some real talent to accomplish that. Love the originality of the lyric. The opening really caught me as my father played professional baseball for three years (minor leagues for the Cardinals - never made the "show" as he was injured and that ended his career in Double A). I could relate to that entire verse on a very personal level. And, you had me from there.
And what a privilege and honor it must be to have Janice on the BG vox. There's no better harmony singer on the site that comes to mind.
As always, your mix is superb. And your vocals ain't to shabby, either! Great stuff, you two. What a treat!
