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

Hi Floyd
A message for the times, but as Charlie said, it also works really well as a love song. Terrific work, as always.
Stay safe.
Regards,
Leon

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

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

Nice .... Quick listen. I'll be back.
Really nice work. Positive and uplifting and throw in a love story ..... nice work
Herb - Thanks. Man! You really moved me with this one, floyd, and I think that's all that needs to be said! Just what I needed to hear this morning  Dave - it is always heart-warming to know that someone is actually moved by something that we do. Thanks for that!

Good medical advice wrapped in a GREAT song!!! I'm hanging at home! The music is irresistible......an infectious groove that I could listen to for 15 minutes! And the chorus has a wonderful, spiritual, gospel-like quality!! Making the best of your "in" time! AWESOME!!!! Take care and stay safe! Greg

FJ, raising a bar in turbulent times takes skill and will. Excellent supportive song! You really got a hang of using contemporary sounds and still have a traditional Country feel of your tunes. Listens very smooth. When I try to do something like this, it either sounds too banal or too weird, you on the other hand found a solid middle ground fusing styles. Mix & vocals are A+ (I would not expect less ) Thank you for sharing! Misha. Misha - I always appreciate that you "speak your mind" about the songs and productions posted here. That makes it satisfying when your thoughts are largely positive and hugely satisfying when they are THIS positive. So, a hardy THANKS! for that...

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

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."

Man, you are the master, floyd. You make me wanna kneel on the floor raising my arms up and down while bending my head low. Whenever I hear one of your productions, I always feel, "Yeah, that's what I want to be able to do." Well done! Well said! Marty - it is really nice of you to say that. You are doing cool stuff yourself - your Midnight Special is...special... Stay In, Stay safe...

Dear Floyd,
WOW - I wouldn't be surprised if this song would break the charts...
Thanks a lot for chosing the subject, and thanks a lot for working it out with such a heck of a tune. Top-notch lyrics, fantastic melody (and what a chorus...), a great backing track and your vocals are simply gorgeous and very convincing.
Good, good, good....
Stay healthy, silverback !!!
Stefan
Stefan - Thanks! It is always nice to have someone think a song is "worthy"... Your new one is a gem... Y'all stay healthy, too...Stay In!

Good song. Nice production. Outstanding use of BIAB. I like it. jpt3 - Thanks!! 1st verse...aw, a love song. Chorus-See, this is nice 2nd verse-those people are idiots and they get what's coming to them. (Exaggeration) lol Chorus to End-See, this is nice Great section builds in this. Just the perfect song for current events. I hope it makes some people on both sides of the fence think! What a cool song! So, I responded and am now left with nothing to do. I guess I'll just sit here and wait until you post your next song later this morning.  See! This IS nice! There's always another coming... Stay well, my friend. Stay IN!!!

Bob - What a nice surprise to have you drop by! Thanks for coming over to the dark side for few moments ... (I remember when I first joined the forum how huge the Off-Topics side was - and the Showcase always seemed "the step child". It has blossomed nicely, though...) This song captures the moment perfectly Floyd.
Yes, let's all hope people do just that. Trev - It is always nice having you swing by for a listen.... Thanks!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
