This is deserving of many streams...actually it oughta be on the charts.
Why, because it's a take on the "situation" that is not only
uplifting but would be a great lyric irrespective of the context.
Janice immediately locked in on the layered harmonies...great they are.
As is, of course, the lead vocal.
Nice choice of RT's, loops and cool to see that you joined in on acoustic.
So, spin the accolade wheel!
click, click, click....stop....SUPERB!

That's the way it's done.  It's got the plausible deniability of appearing to be "just" a love song, with the specifics being vague enough to apply to just about any relationship. Of course, well written, sung, and produced. Pop and fun to listen to - loved the claps and other loops. David - I always appreciate that you "get" all aspects of a song. Stay safe. Stay in. This thing is getting scarier every day...

Enjoyable U2-type of intro, soft verse leads to the powerful chorus with nice drums. The production is very polished, good use of loops adding nice details. Nice theme for the current pandemic situation, really anthemic and universal, I hope no-one gets offended when I say that this song should spread fast like a virus around the globe.

That's cool - a U2 style ballad in the backing and an fj style narrative & melody on top. Works wonderfully well.
Thanks, ray. I am not at all familiar with U2 - so that reference evades me completely... This song will be around and relevant as a great song long after Covid-19. The lyrics are as appropriate to general 'love' as they may pertain to the virus.
Instrumentally and lyrically you've written a song that's as pertinent to life after Covid-19 as it is to our current circumstances. Every now and then a song comes along that touches us. You've hit on every now and on every then. You sure pulled it off with this one. It makes my list of favorite Floyd Jane songs...
Enjoyed my listen. Charlie - that "review" means a lot to me. It was my intent to write this so that it was undeniably pertinent to the current situation, but also be able to "have a life" beyond that...and not have it be a one-dimensional song that would die with the virus (which hopefully will be sooner rather than later, but it does not look like that will be the case)

Aced it FJ! Love everything about the way you put this together, performed and produced it. Really cool message wrapped in a love song. If I was still on the air, I'd play it. Best compliment I can give you.

Well, I loved this. Beautiful song, beautifully sung, beautiful lyrics ... and yes, a very important message, too. You're an incredible musician, floyd jane. Bravo. Thanks, James. I appreciate you dropping in for a listen and the nice comments... It IS an important message, I think... floyd,
This is a mighty effort.
The arrangement and the production have the "WOW!" factor in truckloads. As always, your songwriting and your song-performing leave this Australian audience of one totally mesmermised and reflecting on what a class act you are.
That something as dark as COVID-19 can inspire such a wonderful song really says a great deal about your singer/songwriter abilities.
All the best,
Noel
Noel - always pleased to have you come around for a listen. Stay safe, my friend... I'd like to see us ALL get through this...

Floyd,
Terrific and timely tune. Love the backing music on this one—very current, very engaging right off. And like how the lyrics are relevant to today’s strange world, but can have a universal message that can last far beyond what I hope is a short period of time. Well done!
All my best,
Deej Thanks, Deej. I appreciate you dropping by... floyd,
Very beautiful melody!
Your vocals and harmonies are great as usual.
Outstanding use of BIAB.
The combination of various guitars is very nice.
I entirely agree with TuneMonger.
Great message plus love all the little touches in this that made it distinctive and come alive.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Shigeki Adachi - Thanks for the very fine comments! I always enjoy hearing what you think about a song and its production... Another great song, excellent production Thanks, Elliot...

Hi Floyd,
I'm afraid I missed this song until now.
Of course it is quality I hear! Your doubles in the vocals, especially at the end of the song are very strong.
It could be considered being a love song, but sadly enough Corona was the trigger. And on that, you can stay in together, but keep your distance! and that's not in your lyrics. I'm fooling a bit of course, but that's because I can't complain about this song! It has a strong melody and likewise this counts for the vocals as well. The chorus is build up very nice, like very much how you did this!
And the topic? These strange times can give good opportunities on a lot of things, but also on staying together...
Hans Thanks, Hans... these are strange new waters we are sailing... Hi Floyd wow super job you never disappoint uplifting thanks for sharing this I agree with Stefan thanks eric Thanks, eric...

Floyd,
One of the best pop song intro`s I`ve heard on this forum, leading into a vocal that`s goose-bumps good.
All the accolades are deserved- a stellar write,performance and production.

Mr. Floyd Jane... "...wait for the fade..." Now, how cute is that??? And, the l-o-n-g fade was worth stickin' 'round to listen to. Always did like long fades in a song 'cause they linger in the mind like the remembered taste of good food, or fine wine... I think the song, Let's Stay In , should be the theme song for ALL on-line dating sites during this viral crisis. It's a warm, cuddly, and embracing song featuring inspired Real Track choices, heartfelt harmonies and a sweetly-delivered message of import to all of us "because it's the right thing to do."Great song challenge idea, 'Guitarhacker' !!! LOREN P.S. Like what 'Noel96' said, "that something as dark as COVID-19 can inspire such a wonderful song really says a great deal about your singer/songwriter abilities." LOREN - thanks for the fine review. I appreciate that you had an appreciation for "wait for the fade..." Wow! Great song Floyd. And yes. We should all just STAY IN! Thanks, Joanne. Stay safe... "let's...STAY IN".
Man, this is so sweet. You are singing my heart here. Mix and band are fantastic. This is where timely and timeless meet. Outstanding. Tangmo - Thanks! "....where timely and timeless meet." - you really do have a way with words!!

That wasn't a good forum song that focused on COVID. It was a GREAT song, period. Well structured, great harmonies. That song should have legs. Nice work.
